Wat media do you use?

[lufcfan]

Hmm. I don't know Ihaveanosebleed. I have used many Ritek G04 discs above 4GB, and they've been superb...

Like I said, I often wonder if I have a substandard burner. Either that or very bad luck finding good media. My V7 reads Ritek G04 fine, even on the 4.3 gig edge. However, I’ve seen a few V4 and V9’s struggle with the edge data of a Ritek. Even if it does not lock up completely, you can hear it. It really helps separate the good from the mediocre when you own a few crappy DVD ROM drives.

Well whether burning or reading the last bytes at the end of a dvdr will more than likley be the problem areas. I have had cases where over years of use, I switched out a burner and got better burns with the same media. It even looked more solid when 2 discs were compaired.

Just something I thought Id post up.

i can see that people clearly prefer ritek for DVD-R discs. My question is where do u get them(dont say on the internet, i mean what stores carry them). i live in texas, but i am in california all the time,so i have acsess to a load of stores but nobody has them. ive been to CompUSA, Circuit City, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and i cant find them anywhere. thanks for any help in advance

i think the web is the only place to purchase Ritek. I've never seen then in any local store.

Someone claims that the Home Depot brand dvdr's are actually Ritek. You may wanna try those out at your own risk.

That's Office Depot, not Home Depot... You might wind up with a couple of sheets of plywood if you go there asking for blank media...
