I am using Riteks instead of Verbatims now

[MoBiUs]

did i do the right thing

[spedmetal]

well i would say yes

[MoBiUs]

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

[spratster]

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

[MoBiUs]

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

[sl33p]

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

[snake2]

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

[MoBiUs]

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

[spedmetal]

What the hell is this PI you keep talking about?

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!!

[MoBiUs]

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

[MoBiUs]

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

[lufcfan]

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...
