I recently got these Ridata (a.k.a Ritek) discs, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817132321 . From what i have noticed, around 40% of the discs have a bad dye on it. Bad dye are usually white streaks that appear on the bottom side of a disc, they arent like scractches. I think this effects the load times of my ps2 backups. My main question is that has anyone else who has ridata disc notice a problem on the dyes?
Sometimes, old firmware can cause such high errors. But I used to average about 12% of errors on ritek. Now I only use Taiyo Yuden, which drop my errors to less than 1%.
I use Datawrite (Titanium) and Verbatim. Both brands are sweet. I haven't had one bad disc from them. Bulpaq are pretty good too and they're cheaper than most brands.
i use memorex

I share alot with friends too so need the label cover to write info on . Don't like the cheap brands you get what you pay for .
Memorex is the real mccoy, Fujifilm is good too.... dont know if they make dvd-R's/RW's tho.+
They don't manufacture there own media they just have there label put on. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia.ph...+or+List+Media people need to use the media code its a little more detailed...:OThe ty's are very good and usually any media that has a "made in japan label" is of better quality....I also find the sony brand + and - good quality..even though they are made in taiwan...:huh:Quote:

I have had, so far, perfect results from:
-> 8x Sony DVD-R (SONY08D1)
-> 8x Sony DVD+R (YUDEN000 T02)
Oh yea. I use sony DVD now too as i ran out of Memorex.
So far ive gotten perfect results from Verbatim and Sonic.
Had to get the Verbatim cause I needed to get cheap discs fast and those were the cheapest at Bestbut when I went. (50 pack for ~$23)
I usually get the Sonic from shop4tech.com; 100 for $23-25 shipped. :)
Work great on both my Sony DRU-510A, my new NEC 52-something (cant remember right now), and my friend's Sony burner.
I have been hearing alot of stuff about Taiyo Yuden dvdr's , does anyone know a good reliable website where i could buy these discs?
