Ritek G04

There are many different versions of DVD-Rs with Ritek G04-dye over here: Ritek labeled and unlabeled, silver and white printable, Ridata, "Grade-A-Media", Ridisc, Primedisc, 1Tek, The One, Arita, Traxdata, Fortis... Does anyone know which one is the best or at least if one of these brands/labels is 100% reliable?

I use the regular silver top media myself. As long as its go4 dye your ok. The only other difference is the top surface of the dvdr. Some are silver with the Ritek label printed on the top, some have a white blank printable surface. Others have a blank silver surface.

Well, seems there are different experiences with the Ridiscs then. Thanks for the pics, skykid! I think they are G04s, as G05 are always 8x as far as I know. Could find them rather cheap on nierle.com (25 Euro for 50). The Ridata ones are extremely expensive, 1,80 Euro per piece is just ridiculous. So might I be on the safe side with the Ridiscs? And what do you think of these, Ritek labelled?
But are a bit more expensive then Verbatims with TY-dye, are they worth the higher price?

I don't think you'll have any problems with the Ridisc...

lufcfan, it must be my burner then (Sony DW-U18a) it only likes the RiData.

I noticed that on DVDDecrypter it stated the RiDisc (Top Image) as being G05, when on the site i bought them it said G04 and now it says G05 (must be because of my complaint).

They were truly awful...on two batches...so i put it down to the dye...or the burner eiether way the RiData is the best for me...its just that the specific ones i get (bottom pic) are so hard to find.

I've been using RiData discs and thus far no problems. But the ones I'm using has the same label design but only in gold/matt gold colors (not purple/white)...so what are those that I'm using?
