Linky poo


Not sure of the media code on these?

supposedly more and more people are getting ritek r03's instead of the ricohjp discs.

 

[dealseaker]

my last ones were R03's

 

[dealseaker]

oh, these are the 8x ones, my last G03's came from a 4x cakebox

how are the ritek r03's?

 

[chinkgai]

so is this deal not hot? how come no flood of posts?

As far as I know, the R03s are just as good as the Ricohs, and they burn at 8X instead of 4 on most drives.

I bought about 400 of these Ritek DVD+Rs as well as about 100 of the -Rs so I've burned both Ricohs and R03s. No coaster so far (atleast not any from the media's fault).

I would have bought some more but I still have about 200 of these Riteks (both + and -) and I just bought another 250 of the TDK ones that were on sale for $10 (25-pack).

This is a good deal if you guys are in need of some new blank DVDs. However, DVD-/+ Rs are dropping in prices recently (probably due to dual-layer discs) so that would make this an OK deal instead of a hot deal.

Any success burning these guys at 12x or 16x?

I have a 4x burner and purchased the 25 pack of 8x +R's from staples last week. They would not burn, because I did not have an 8x burner.

Is this typical? Im new to this whole thing.

Nope, in a 4x burner 8x DVDs will merely drop back and burn at 4x. My guess is that you bought +R DVDs and you have a -R burner.

deal dead

 

[LordSnailz]

hot deal ... these gets cheaper and cheaper ... depending on your burner riteks are still good.

I always thought they were the same too. Like one company owns the other.
