Good blank media [Posted on 2005-04-03]
I had no problems burning with these discs on a Sony burner. Just make sure to set your software to 2.4x max burn speed or else you'll have problems.
Works great with Nero and a Philips burner.. [Posted on 2005-04-10]
I've used 5 of these Ridata DL discs to store home movies and have had no problems. I use Nero Burning ROM version 6.6.0.8 along with a Philips DVD8631 burner and have always burned at the slow 2.4X speed. The resulting discs play fine in both DVD players in my home theater and on my PC.
Ridata quality [Posted on 2005-06-21]
I'm using Roxio 7 with a NEC burner and have no problems playing these disks in my PC or Home theater system. These disks are great for the price.
Very low quality. Beware! [Posted on 2005-07-14]
Purchased this item in May. I'm updating this review in September. Here's the life story of all 5 DL disks from this package:
Disk #1: Massive CRC errors immediately after burn. Coaster.
Disk #2: Massive CRC errors immediately after burn. Coaster.
Disk #3: Tried to read it in June. Half of it read OK, half (2nd layer I assume) did not. Fortunately, I had a copy of all the data. Coaster.
Disk #4: Tried to read it in September. DVD-Multi Drive LG-GSA4163B will not even recognize the disk. Was able to recover it in my laptop's Sony DS-D65A drive. Coaster.
Disk #5: Tried to read it in September. DVD-Multi Drive LG-GSA4163B reads it fine, albeit slowly; I suspect CRC errors are mounting. Will re-record it to other disks.
Bottom line: 4 very expensive coasters out of 5, and 5th seems to be going the same way. Beware!
Its hit or miss when you get these [Posted on 2005-11-01]
I had a batch of these with media ID: Ritek D01, and the discs are pure garbage. When you do a quality scan of the scan, the errors on the second layer are crazy. Even though the disc played fine in my dvd player, I honestly expect data integrity loss within a year, theyre that bad.
I also got a batch with media ID: RichoJPN D00, which are much better quality than the previous discs i mentioned, but still not amazing. The quality of 2nd layer burns are much better than the previous especially. For the price of cake boxes, its not too bad a deal, but for just a few, I'd tell you to save your money. Ive had similar hit or miss experiences with verbatim dual layer dvd+r as well. From what ive read and used myself, theres no clear best media for dual layer yet as there is in single layer media.
