In my experience, they've been excellent. I've probably burned 200 of them and haven't burned a coaster yet. I haven't experienced compatibility issues with standalone dvd players either.

I also like the +R's better for a simple reason: The -R's that I've used seem to have a lip on the outer edge that makes it so you can't grab the edges easily when taking the disc out of a case. Maybe it was the brand of disc because I've only used one brand/manufacturer of -R's. It's annoying to me though if you're trying not to manhandle the disc to remove it from the (slim) case.

Damn! I just spent $46 for a 100pk of Taiyo Yudens......

Shoulda waited a bit I guess. I've burned 250 of the Riteks with no coasters. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

Dude, you paid $45 for TY without rebate, thats a pretty decent deal. The Ritek deal is AR, and I dont think it is as hot as the TY deal that you got. And for the QUALITY, you bought the best media out there. Maxell might be on the same bar with TY. And if you like rebate, amazon also has the verbatim 8X, for $29.99 AR, free shipping and no tax for most states. And I would take verbatim over those Ritek any day.
 
On my NEC-3520a I bought 8x DVD+R Ritek and I only get 4x speed using Nero and Record Now. I bought the Fuji 8x +R from Best Buy and I get 16x...??
 
If this is the RitekR03 (the 100pk 8x I got a few weeks ago was) then these aren't the near as good as the Ritek 4x ones. I get lots of PI/PIF errors with both my NEC 2500A and LiteON 411@811.

I agree $45 for 100 TY is not bad at all. But what makes you think Verbatims are so much better than Riteks? Verbatim doesn't make its own discs, if you get MCCs you are good. If you get CMCs you are screwed. Trust me, I wouldn't take CMCs for free.
 
Didnt realize the TY's were so well respected.....but a bit of googling proved you guys right. Also noticed that I paid 48 (not 46 like I mentioned earlier) With shipping it was around $54.

Here is the link if anyone is interested in the TY's

There's a difference between the 4x and 8x version of these discs? I guess I've been using the 4x, but burning them at 8x.

I've just been reading some reviews saying that the ritek r03's are complete crap.. can anyone confirm this? I sure hope they aren't...

Actually, it's been reported on various media/firmware forums that Ritek has started using inferior dyes in their manufacturing process, and some think that this is what explains the sudden increase in reports of people having read/write problems with these disks.

I myself have had consistent problems with multiple batches of Ritek's G04 disks. All burn fine, but READING is where the problem occurs, as movies that i watch will experience freezing/skipping/pixellation . Now I don't have these problems with other brands, so i'll probably stay away from Ritek from now on and go with Fuji/Verbatim and its proven Azo dye. And of course there's TY, which i hear is among the best in quality.

Posted by "Dog" over @altbinariesdvdr:
"Verbatim DATALIFE are alleged to be the highest consumer grade available. These are the ones with Mitsubishi dye and very strict quality control.
Non-Datalife have CMC dye and production is outsourced to contract manufacturers.

TYs are also of very high quality but AFAIK the Datalife brand is the gold standard for consumers."

For those that want TY's, BB is selling Fuji 50 packs of +R for 19.99 after IR.... new sale has the 25 packs of Fuji +R for 9.99 after IR. I am not sure when the old sale ends and the new one starts but the price per disk is the same. I checked both (50/pack and 25/pack) at BB in Rancho and they were made in Japan (ie TY's). Have fun!
