I am using Riteks instead of Verbatims now
 

did i do the right thing

well i would say yes

im using the GO4s, heard that the GO5s are ****

have been using G05s myself and have had no problems so far (arita 8x -r) pink ones ;)

hmm not too happy with the riteks right now they have very high PI levels 1st burnt one has 100-200, updated my firmware and burnt another one 30-70 PI. i think i will go back to verbatim 10-20 PI

i heard good things about taiyo yuden but never used them. anyone know about them in comparison to ritek or verbatim?

g04s worked fine for my g05s are being s.o.b.s, start to skip at the end of the disc on my dvd player

im moving back to verbatims, even though they are not as dark as the riteks, i get low PI and low errors with them

What the hell is this PI you keep talking about?

have u guys ever checked out the office max brand dvd-rs they look like the same die ritek uses very dark pruple i had a friend who got a 100 pk free with a burner and if there good im sure they have deals on them all the time

very interesting read MoBiUs, thanks for posting link :)

think i'll be doing scans on my discs a lot more now i'm aware of that!!

not all burners can do scans, liteons can nec i think and another brand

Riteks do have a darker dye than verbatims(not by that much) but the quality varys ive got 100(2 packs of 50 from diffrent stores) riteks now that are useless because they are a bad batch

I have some Ritek CDR which are a bad batch too - they are on their way back to SVP :)

They have been VERY GOOD about it btw... :D

your lucky i cant return my ones, guess its not that bad 100 freezbies :D

You use a liteon don't you?

*looks at his sig*

Yes you do. There is your problem. My pioneer burns Ritek at .05 PI errors. PO are like 100 total, in the entire disc.

i back to verbatims and very happy, low PI and PO levels

Hola, I'm kinda curoius.. How do you check the PI and PO levels? interested in testing it myself on my LG burner and the discs I use. (Mostly RItek G04)

you use kprobe but you can only scan with liteon drivers

ok, too bad that I don't have any access to any liteon dvd driver then...

Liteon drive is his problem? It wholly depends on which model he is using, but I have a Liteon 832S Dual Layer burner (Fw VS0B) and my PI/PO error rates are just like yours...

ive got a new pioneer now :D
