Customer Reviews:

Excellent value for the low price [Posted on 2005-09-27]
I have burned 2 DVD's till now to store pictures and songs. I had no issues at all. Worked neatly. I am able to retrieve the data without any problems. The burning time was also not too long.
There is a nice plastic case to store the DVD's. It would be have been great if we got seperate covers for each DVD. But that is asking for too much!
I received the mail-in rebate too.
Its a good buy.

Great for TV shows [Posted on 2005-10-14]
These work great for recording your favorite TV shows, you can watch them later, and then record over them so you do not have to buy 1000 DVDs. Word of warning though, check to make sure your DVD players can read the RW format, our household has 3 DVD players and only 2 of them can play the DVD+RWs.

Can't we have Zero Stars? This is for Ridata "16x" DVD+R's  [Posted on 2005-11-23]
If you are playing back your recorded DVD's on very forgiving equipment then you may not notice the errors, but should you burn using Nero with the "verify disc writes" feature checked, you may see a string of errors that takes hours to log. Or they would take hours if you could sit there for it, which I didn't.

I don't know if I have just got (un)lucky, but after using two different, new burners (Lite-On 1693S and N.E.C. 3540A), burning at various speeds with the source data cached on fast IDE drives, using both NERO and DVD Shrink to burn both ISO and VOB files, I have produced about 15 to 20 useless coasters with Ridata DVD+R 16x media.

There have been some DVD's that have actually played all the way through, but enough haven't so that I have lost confidence in this product to keep anything valuable.

Having tried everything else, we've finally decided it's the discs and not the burners or software.

If the success of the DVD depended on this Ridata media, we'd still be using VHS tapes.

Works great and surely recommend for others [Posted on 2006-02-18]
I have been using this media for almost 1 year and so far they never gave me problems. Surely recommend for others.

No errors - totally reliable on my NEC ND-3500AG  [Posted on 2007-01-10]
I bought this item 2 years ago and used it to make Ghost image backups of my drive. As luck would have it I finally needed to recover my main partition. My backup was on 10 of these DVD+RWs and worked fine. I also use the "verify data" options and never see errors with these.

P.S. Please include your DVD model number when reviewing stuff like this. Sometimes problems depend on your machine.
