Excellent media [Posted on 2005-01-10]
Works well with Pioneer 106D and NEC 2510A DVD writers. Writes at 4x with the Pioneer and 6x with the NEC.

How to get good media... [Posted on 2005-02-17]
Dunno about the RiData's sold here on Amazon, but a certain major online retailer with name beginning with "N" and last letters "gg" sells this exact same media (RiData "always right" DVD+R 4x 50-pack), and the last two 50-packs I've gotten were both RICOHJPNR01 media. My advice would be to go with this other well-known retailer, as apparently your chances of getting the grade-A media are much better. Anyway, I give this media 5 stars, but be warned that with branded media like RiData (or Memorex, or Sony, etc) it will always vary as to who makes the discs -- this is a perfectly normal practice and there's no grounds to complain since this has been going on a long time with both CD and DVD recordable media. If you want guaranteed quality, I'd go with an OEM name like Taiyo Yuden.

Excellent product. [Posted on 2005-04-25]
Great discs. I always set Nero to check for errors after burning, and do post-burn CRC checks. I've burnt about 25 so far most at 4x and had zero errors.
I read some reviews where people somehow try to justify faulty media but I just don't understand it. If the pack says 50 discs I expect to make 50 copies. Well, maybe one or two coasters, but not 10, or 15! I would rather pay a few $$ extra as long as I know that I'm getting reliable discs. Otherwise what's the point of even bothering to make DVDs if you don't care about the data that's written on them right? I bought Velocity DVD-Rs before and had to return them because they were completely unusable junk. Paid a few more bux for these 4x Ridata and so far happy I did!

Great Cost Gets Your Attention BUT...Product didn't Work [Posted on 2005-05-11]
I bought the 50 pack definitely for the price and the specs seemed to be ok. I got them and had them on reserve for when my current supply of a different brand runs out. Finally I went to use a disk out of the 50 pack in this years model of the Panaonic Home DVD Recorder. Not one single disk out of the top five was detected by the recorder. Now I am stuck with useless disks since my return date is passed with Amazon and I can't get a refund. Now I am glad I paid so little for them.

Jagged Edges [Posted on 2005-07-01]
Stay away from these if you have a slot loading dvddrive like on an iMac. They have very unsmooth edges, and get stuck in the slot loading drives. I currently have one stuck in there, and it has pretty much disabled my iMac because all it tries to do is eject the disk whenever its turned on.
