It happened to me too from Meritline. I bought 50 pack Ritek G04 from them and noticed that the dye was a lighter color and some of the disks had dye coating problems (i.e. pits and uneven layers of dye). I used DVD identifier to see what the disks were and they said that they were Ritek G05. Well after a few burns and no luck on a Messiah V7 machine, I returned them. They sent me real G04 back. When you do send them back make sure you specify you want the real G04 with the darker dye. Be careful with getting Taiyo Yuden from Meritline cause I read on a whole bunch of forums that they were selling fake Yuden. I hope this helps.

Yeah I got a 25 pack of that crap version GO4/GO5 light purple dyed discs that Meritline is selling. Those discs are nothing but crap. 8 coasters out of my 25 pack.
I may put a warning sticky up on this. Tyler!

I was that problem. So now I use my Riteks for media backups and they work fine b/c I ain't puttin them in a ps2. for my ps2, Sony DVD-R. Work like a charm, better than any Riteks. They burn perfectly and smooth playing on the ps2. Hardly any noise, actually none compared to Riteks.

Ritek G04 Changes
I just purchased my 2nd pack of 50 of the Ritek G04. I have not tested any yet, but although the packaging is exactly the same as the first pack, Meritline did assign them a new part number. I also notice the top of the DVD no longer has Ridata name with some lines for you to write your text. These new DVDs are completely blank on the top.
The outside purple label has exactly the same UPC code and p/n though as the first order. Strange that the Ritek UPC code is the same, but Meritline assigns them a different p/n (I suppose due to the fact there is a slight difference than before). |
