I wanted to start a topic in light of the fact that Chris is releasing a lot of DVDs.

I was interested in what brands everyone uses and their experiances with each brand they have used.

For movies:

I have only used Riteks, both Ridata and the +r with the G05 Dye. I have never had any coasters with over 100 burns, and no data corruption at any point on the disk, on any of the burns.

Some things I have read: Lots of people have problems with memorex, you never know what kind of disk quality you are going to get some spindles you could get a rebranded Ritek and others you could get Jim Bobs Discount DVDs.

Maxell hasn't caused me a problem on the few burns I have done, and Sony has also been good on the 1 I have done.


I generally only use Ritek and Taiyo Uden, no substitute for the 2 best disk brands.

I've had great success with Sony and Fuji. I've only burned a few Riteks/Ridata's but they worked fine for me.

In a spindle of 50 Maxell or Memorex I usually end up with 3 or 4 coasters, but I don't complain because their price point is very attractive.

My next batch purchase is going to be Ritek. I've heard all the praise, now I'll see what happens with the laser hits the disc!

If you get 1 coaster my jaw will hit the ground in shock, I order mine of blankmedia because it has the best price 70 cents a disk or something. But they truly are the best brand IMO. I can't remember if its fuji but many of their disks might be rebranded Riteks
