I did a little test after I ran into some problems with ritek media. Found some interesting things. Maybe my drive just likes the memorex stuff? Bad batch of ritek stuff? What do you think?

lots of pictures and I am serving this at home so please be patient.

if you want good quality burns on dvd-r go TY TYG02 media

might not be as cheap as ritek but you do get what you pay for

Well, Ritek is somewhat inconsistant, so that kind of difference between two discs in the same spindle isn't that surprising to me.

Damn, I thought ritek was some of the best, that's why I bought that in particular.

Is there a particular brand name for "TY TYG02 media" I should look for?

you can buy online, and know your getting TY media:

those are the ones I buy and print on them with my epson r300 printer

Either buy online or go to Best Buy this week and pick up 8X Sony DVD-R (50 for $19.99) that say Made In Japan on the back.

Ehh sony made in Japan can be made by SONY themselves on weird occasions. Still in that case you get very high quality Sony disc's.

not for Canada though

The rumor is that the Sony coded 8X DVD-R discs come from the Taiyo Yuden plant.

Speaking of Memorex and Ritek, sometimes Memorex 8x DVD-R IS RitekG05. Or it could be ProdiscF01, or Fujifilm03, or CMC's 8x media.

Thanks for the info. To bad I have to search out for good media, still it should be getting better though.
