Newbie needs tips on correct media

[deerayrose]

Thank you very much.
From reading through these forums, I've seen the name "Ritek" mentioned alot. I shop mostly at tigerdirect.com but havn't noticed that brand there. (it is a brand, isn't it?) I'll definetly look for them.
Get a Pioneer? I take it that is a good brand of burner? I have a Pioneer dvd player (for tv) and it works great for playing all the junk I burn on cdr. I know it's ready for dvd-r as well. Any specific brand of burner I should definetly avoid? I don't mean to switch to a hardware question in a 'media' forum, however my main questions have been answered. Figured I'd squeeze this one in on ya.

Thanks for the replies!
