lufcfan, it must be my burner then (Sony DW-U18a) it only likes the RiData.

I noticed that on DVDDecrypter it stated the RiDisc (Top Image) as being G05, when on the site i bought them it said G04 and now it says G05 (must be because of my complaint).

They were truly awful...on two batches...so i put it down to the dye...or the burner eiether way the RiData is the best for me...its just that the specific ones i get (bottom pic) are so hard to find.

I've been using RiData discs and thus far no problems. But the ones I'm using has the same label design but only in gold/matt gold colors (not purple/white)...so what are those that I'm using?

Hey skykid, found the Ridatas you are looking for at this place Ridata DVD-R G04 where they sell them for 25 Euro per 50x cakebox. If you live in Europe that should be okay for you, donīt you think? Has got just a german and an italian laguage version, but I suppose everything selfexplaining. I ordered the Ritek ones (see the picture of my yesterdays post) today at a different site and hope they are perfect. Ritek-label on them should guarantee A-grade, though Ridisc was a lot cheaper.

@Skykid
Nope, you must have had some clones then as 4x RiDisc are always G04 - if it was indeed G05, then you must have had the 8x version, in which case, you have the wrong picture, lol

Not sure of that, lufcfan. In another forum a guy reported major problems with Ridiscs that looked exactly that way and were 4x labeled. He had bought them as G04s, but checking the dye-type they obviously were G05s. When he reported this to the reseller they took them back and changed the dye-info on their website to G05. And quite often you can find ads with Ridiscs that say "G04/G05" and show pictures of 4 x DVD-Rs. So there seem to be 4x out there with G05-dyes, strange world!
