Apparently this guy discovered after their dye change the discs are only reliable up to 75% of the disc.

I've got TY's here that burned at the end far better than any Ritek I have, and I've known about that since last march.

Personally, I would rate TY's twice a good as Ritek's and Ritek's 4 times as good as princo's.

Dang man, shoulda let us all in. In the latest "What's the best DVD's?" threads people are still touting Ritek's as the leader.

So what does TY stand for?

TY = Taiyo Yuden

I have some Ritek CD-R and my new writer is very hit and miss with them, I must say, but the DVD-R I have from Ritek is excellent - as it always has been might I add...

Well if Taiyo Yuden seems to be the good stuff. They'll be my next purchase.

These guys have a good proce. $0.55 each.

But the guy who is doing the review wasn't reviewing the G04 or G05, he was reviewing a different dye from Ritek, RitekM02.

"Its over a year ago I published an article referring to Ritek discontinuing the well loved G03, G04 & G05 dye formulation, and on the forum I published it in I was ridiculed that Ritek would even think of such a thing.
Well it has happened and the first disc I come across is RIDATA printable media with the MID code RITEKM02 it is recognised as a 4x speed disc and the writing layer is a light purple and not the deep purple we all love. "

That doesn't mean that Riteks aren't good or anything, just that the newer RitekM02 suck. The G04 and G05 may still be the hot **** to some! At least in my book it is

They still do sell the G04 and G05 media......

I think this thread is a bit misleading......
