  1. Can I get the best overall media for Hub-printable DVD-R's?

    I have been using BEALL 4x and getting them from Meritline. I have been extremely happy with the disks. Hardly any burning problems, plus no compatibility problems. But I would like to be able to purchase them from another company if need be. Meritline has been out of stock for almost 2 weeks now.

    In the meantime they sent me PRODISK 4x silver printable. So far they seem to be a good disk. Once in awhile I get a group of disks in the spindle that are bad. (5-10 disks) in a row don't burn.

    Any help on what everyone else uses would be greatly appreciated. I use on average 1500-2000 disks per month.

    I've gone through about 2,000 of the silver printable Prodiscs with hardly any problems. About 1% failure rate, which is pretty good. I also used the BeAlls (white and silver printable), and they worked good too. The Prodiscs have been as compatible, but about 10 cents a disc cheaper.

  7. Taiyo Yuden dye is great but the top surface is poor in those "blank" discs (poor scratch resistance)...

  8. Printable I like Beall too, also prodisc is very good for hub printable.

    I ordered 500pack Beall last time. Now I still have 200pack. Wait Beall come back :P :P

    Beall are not available in Canada
    I've tried TY -R, Ritek (ridata) -R and Prodics +R.
    I have the best result with TY, in terms of what cd-dvd speed is telling me.

    However, best compatibility with dvd players was obtained with Ritek.

    Not happy with prodisc +R, but I might give a try with -R.

    BTW RiData uses Ritek B-grade dye. For example Traxdata uses Ritek A-grade dye and Arita uses Ritek C-grade dye... Maybe useless info, but I just had to say it 8)

    Thanks for the info. I am not sure but most of the Ritek I can find here are either ridata or unbranded.

    I will look for Traxdata but I must be honest that I was under the impression that Traxdata was garbage.
    Why?
    Traxdata sounds like Trashdata.
    They should change this name

    Excessive post suggesting advertising/banned. You are in breach of the forum rules and are being issued with a formal warning.
