Poor Quality Control? [Posted on 2008-03-28] I've been using the Ridata brand of mini-DVD in my camcorder for nearly 3 years now, usually buying them 10 at a time. This time I bought the 50-pack since I've never had a problem with them. The first ones I've tried out of these appear to be unbalanced or out-of-round, though. My camcorder definitely vibrates more when the disks are up-to-speed. I have finished recording on one of them and it appeared to finalize okay. I'm just disappointed with Ritek's quality control system that would let these get out the door.
Good mini DVD [Posted on 2008-04-06] This is my second spindle batch. Had only one issue with one DVD. I was recording my daughter birthday. But when I went to play it, it said bad data. I don't know if it was the Hitachi DVD camcorder or the DVD itself. I bought a Sony DVD camcorder and so far no issues. I will keep you posted if any other issues arises. One thing for sure is that you can't beat the price of these mini DVDs. Excellent price.
Sony handicam user [Posted on 2008-04-28] Just bought a 50 pack of the Ridata mini dvd-r 4x, for my Sony Handicam. Very noticeable vibration with these disks, compared to a sony or fuji disk. I wonder if the disk is thinner or isn't as rigid as the other ones. Possibly out of round, but vusually can't tell. I tested one and it recorded fine and playback was normal on the computer, but for some reason a 2 minute video clip took 8 minutes to finalize, 2-3 times longer than other full 4x disks I've used. Vibration can't be good for the camcorder so I'm worried.
They work [Posted on 2008-06-16] I have used a little over half of the disks. One was bad and would not record. I use a Sony DCR-DVD108. These disk have to same issue as the Memorex I have used in the past which was a slight vibration when in use. They are not balanced correctly but are usabale and very economical.
Vibration Very Noticeable! [Posted on 2008-06-17] There is a Definite Vibration while using these discs!!! I am like another reviewer and am worried about what is going to happen to my camera, if i continue to use these discs. I will be contacting the seller for a refund/return. The ONLY plus I give these is that you DO NOT have to Format the disc before using it, unlike many other NON Sony discs, on my Sony DVD308.
