i'd read recently that ritek was one of the top two (cmc the other) producers of them in the world. i posted they stink based on a cdfreaks pro. of course, i am using cmc's @ the moment, because quality is for things you use all the time, cmc is for avi files i view 1-2 times a year
. its all about what you need them for.
everyone bashes memorex, but i have memorex's from 4 years ago still reading as well as a pressed cd.
