What is DVD-R/RW?
DVD-R (which is pronounced "dash R" not "minus R") uses organic dye technology, like CD-R, and is compatible with most DVD drives and players. DVD-RW (formerly DVD-R/W and also briefly known as DVD-ER) is a phase-change erasable format. Developed by Pioneer based on DVD-R, using similar track pitch, mark length, and rotation control, DVD-RW is playable in many DVD drives and players. Capacity is 4.7 billion bytes. DVD-RW discs can be rewritten about 1,000 times. Many companies now produce DVD-RW drives, all of which write CD-R/RW. Most DVD-RAM drives also write DVD-R discs, while some also write DVD-RW discs. Some newer drives write both DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW formats.

5 out of 5 stars No coasters anymore!.......2005-08-19

This is great media. I am sold on Ritek now! Do not look for anything else. Ritek also have inkjet printable media that I use now most of the times.

5 out of 5 stars Exelente producto.......2004-11-29

hace 2 meses compre una torre de 100 y todos salieron bien, ademas es compatible con todas las marcas de quemadores y dvds.

5 out of 5 stars Works FLAWLESSLY with Apple G5 dual 2.0 Rev B.......2004-10-13

I've gone through 125 of these DVD-Rs by Ridata, and so far the burn success rate has been 100%. Not only did the burned discs play in my Apple computer, it also worked on two other DVD players (a Sony 5 disc DVD player and a Toshiba SD1200). I burned my discs using Apple's iDVD software which came bundled with the computer; While burning, I even used the computer to surf the web, and noticed the DVDs were burned perfectly without any problems <although that's probably a testament to the awesome G5 rather than the Ridatas =)>. I'd highly recommend them! (I just placed an order for another 50!)

1 out of 5 stars ridata is just plain poor quality media.......2004-10-10

I ordered ridata 4x dvd-rw and ridata 4x dvd-r, and im dead serious when I say both batches of discs were corrupt. However crazy that is, the quality of ridata labeled media is the same as the garbage you bring outside. I have a pioneer a05 and the discs are not even recognized by any software in the drive. When I burned the 4x dvd-r discs, I had like 4 out of 5 coasters. Ritek used to make quality and affordable media, but this ridata labeled media is just plain junk, avoid it. Look at every else reviews, its no secret that you shouldnt buy this stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Great Media.......2004-09-07

I've used Memorex, Fuji, Maxell,TDK and this Ridata brands hangs with the best out there, I've used over 25 dvd-r disks and so far no duds or coasters, great media at a unbeatable price at Amazon!

What is DVD+R/RW?
DVD+R/RW is an erasable format based on CD-RW technology that became available in late 2001. It is supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, though it is not supported by the DVD Forum. DVD+RW drives read DVD-ROMs and CDs, and usually read DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, but do not read or write DVD-RAM discs. DVD+RW drives also write CD-Rs and CD-RWs. The DVD+RW format uses phase-change media with a high-frequency wobbled groove that allows it to eliminate linking sectors. This, plus the option of no defect management, allows DVD+RW discs to be written in a way that is compatible with many existing DVD readers. DVD+R/RW discs hold 4.7 gigabytes (GB) per side and are readable in many existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives.

1 out of 5 stars Was good, but not anymore.......2005-03-01

I used to buy 25-packs of these all the time with only a problem with a few of them. Just after Christmas I bought a 50-pack of them. After the first dozen, the rest wouldn't work at all in my Akai stand-alone burner, or the plextor burner on my computer. Other brands are working fine in them so it's NOT the machines or firmware. I bought a 25-pack last month because I didn't have problems with them before. About 2 out of every 3 of the 25-pack have problems with dropouts, skips, freezes, locking up the players, or didn't record at all. They definitely downgraded their quality, or are shipping out more of that "bad batch".

1 out of 5 stars Not good for Philips DVD recorder.......2005-01-31

Too many "disc errors" when trying to use them in a Philips DVD
recorder. Most other dvd+r/rw discs worked fine.

5 out of 5 stars Good stuff .......2005-01-27

I just bought a new computer with a dvd burner built in so i wanted to try it out. I was advised to buy these first and they worked great. I've bought 2-50 packs and have only messed up about 1 disc from each pack. So that seems pretty good to me. Maybe the other people who gave them bad reviews just had crappy dvd burners. The quality is great and the errors are minimal, and you cant beat the price anywhere.

2 out of 5 stars Not work for Philips SDVD6004.......2004-11-16

My DVD drive is Philips SDVD6004(firmware 1.06). The drive is installed in Dell Dimension 4600C and some inspiron notebooks. I failed in buring first 6 discs. There's no singal example of success bruing. So I give up. But other bands (HP, Khypermedia, Verbatim) work perfect for my case. Maybe only crap discs from CMC match the crap Philips burnner.

5 out of 5 stars Cheap media? BenQ not a good drive? LOL.......2004-10-19

Some of you people crack me up. I have a BenQ 8X drive that I have burned over 100 disks on so far with no problems. I use Ritek (RIDATA), Memorex (Mostly CMC a few Ricoh) and Maxell (Ricoh is all I have seen from Maxell) disks.

Before the BenQ, I had a Cyberdrive 8X that I recorded well over 400 disks on using the same brands as stated above. Both of these drives are branded and sold by KHypermedia.

You don't have to spend a lot of money for a decent drive folks. Most of what people are paying for is the name. You would be surprised to know who makes many of the "top" name drives.

The same holds true for DVD media. The majority of media is made by only a few companies. The reason that you can't use a certain disk is not because the media is bad, but because your firmware is not up to date. Some companies update their firmware faster than others so check the website and see if there is an update for your drive. Don't blame the media when it is your burner that is at fault.

I use DVD Shrink to rip and Nero 6.3.1.25 to burn. This version of Nero supposedly sets the code on your movies to ROM. So far, it has set every one I have burned with this version to ROM.

I have owned four drives so far and have not had any problems out of any of them. The first drive I had was an NEC. I sold this one after a few hundred burns and bought a Cyberdrive. I sold this one also after a few hundred burns. I now own a KHypermedia (BenQ) 8X in one computer and a MicroAdvantage (TopG - I think) 8X in another computer. They both work great because I keep them updated. when something new comes along, I sell the old drive cheap and get a new one.

So, Instead of badmouthing the media because it will not work in your drive, find a way to make it work if possible. Keep your firmware updated and ask the maker of your drive for a list of acceptable media that your drive can use. This will save you some trouble as you will know what will and what will not work with your particular drive. If you still decide to purchase media, even though it is not recommended by the manufacturer of your drive for the firmware version you have, you wil be taking a chance that it will plain out give you trouble.
