Okay, i've read from many people that Ritek/Ridata makes good quality DVD media. now that i'm reading around, i'm starting to get freaked out. i got the 50 pk of DVD-Rs from newegg.com. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=17-132-315&depa=0 i read that people are ordering the Ritek/Ridata spindles and getting media manufactured by "Ricoh Company Limited." Is this one of those situations where i'm gonna get screwed and end up with half a spindle of crap? ex. flaws in the dye, etc? or is "Ricoh Company Limited" good quality. i'm gonna be so pissed off if it's crappy, i'll give newegg a piece of my mind. Is the spindle from NewEgg a "Ritek own branded, Ridisc, Ridata, Traxdata & Datasafe."?????????????

thx alot!

Those have worked like a charm for me. I'm half way through my second 50 pack already;), and I think Newegg ships faster than anyone else I've ever ordered from so far. Also, the disc have Ridata printed on the inner portion of it so I'd guess their the real deal name brand.
My last batch cost me $7.00 more from Newegg just a couple months ago so maybe the quality has dropped since then or else DVD media is just coming down in price, but as far as quality goes I haven't noticed any difference on the first 20 or so disc's from the new batch compared to the first batch yet.

Ritek/Ridata is made by Ricoh; always has been.

Excellent quality . . . . and you got a great price.

Enjoy.
