Ritek vs. Taiyo Yuden

[lufcfan]

I prefer either Taiyo Yuden discs or TDKs new TTG02 Taiwan dye

I like the Taiyo Yuden dvd-r. All my PS2, Xbox and movie backups work great.

Good to hear from you dust, I pay $0.37 for Ritek 4x dvd-r and $0.48 for 8x TY. BTW, are you talking about using a mini Ritek that will fit into the gamecube??

no full size dvdr ritek

minis with ritek dye not been able to find
datawrite red or datasafe minis work fine but £1 disc basically


ps good see me old m8s still remember me, lets look to the future, past is the past

I have done more research on this. It seems that with games that burn close to the edge (Def Jam Fight for NY, 4.6GB; Starwars Battlefront 4.5GB and other large games like Mercenaries) the Taiyo Yuden media out performs the Ritek G05 media. How is this possible if the Taiyo Yuden dye is G02 and my Ritek dye is G05.

[dust2dust]

bad quality at edge normally b grade should be sold as such
were your go5 branded? a grade? bought from someone you trust ie unbranded are u sure they a grade

personally i using g04 inkjet printables, burns to 4.5gb np everytime,

ty i rate highly never had problem, just gamecube cant read them, well 1 i did my testing on couldnt, would be interesting to get some feedback on other peoples gamecube
