Got a question about a certain brand of Ritek sold.

[freestylegreek]

I was calling around some computer stores to see which ones of Ritek/Ridata they sold. I contacted one PC store near me and they sell dvd-r 8X-12X 50 pack spindle. The guy said its in a purple wrapping, the top of the disc is frosty white while the bottom of the disk is purple.

Has anyone came across this type of dvd-r disc?

Any comments?

Look at comments to the left "DVD Media"

[freestylegreek]

Ya maybe but it didnt say cake box he said purple wrapping. Plus i dont think those discs have a white label on top.

One place i called said it doesnt matter the colour of the top or bottom there all the same Ritek.

Wrong. Many media sub-IDs for RITEK (G04, M0x, etc)

[freestylegreek]

So the Ritek i mentioned above the one with the white topping and the purple bottom is what exactly?

[lordsmurf]

Inkjet media, probably. Assuming it's not fake.

[freestylegreek]

What I mean is the media code. Do you think they are under the "G"?

[Sifaga]

ask the guy at the store,

only way to be sure

[freestylegreek]

Ya i could do that but of course he could just play stupid and say "I dont know" or he could just tell me the truth.

As I said before in a post I called another store and asked them about the other brand and the guy said it doesnt matter about the colour on the top of bottom of the disc. Someone just told me on the topic that what he said is a lie so who's to say if the other guy from the computer store im going will lie about what the disc quality is.

So maybe someone out there has used the type of dvd-r discs im talking about in my post and can tell me what there comments are on them.

[lordsmurf]

I HIGHLY doubt the salesman knows anything at all. Most do not.

[freestylegreek]

Ya thats what I think that's why I dont trust alot when it comes to DVD-R's most places I called didnt know anything.

What a waste of money im going to be spending soon on these discs.

Does anyone even have one slight of info on the discs i mention.

BTW here is the link for the DVD-R's im talking about.

[glockjs]

there really is no way to tell. you'd basically have to buy em and run em through dvdinfopro.

[freestylegreek]

Ya and then be stuck with 50 dvd-r's that wont do anything for me.

[glockjs]

welcome to the club. thats the way it is. if you dont want crap media pay the money and get taiyo yuden so you know what your getting.

[freestylegreek]

Still with that Ive heard bad things.

[stiltman]

High quality organic 05 dye ?????

[freestylegreek]

Well thats what im wondering about.

[freestylegreek]

Look what I found at http://www.blankmedia.ca/proddetail3.asp?id=305

I think these are the same ones at the computer store near me.

Yep, if you are going by the guy that works there you are SOL. This IS the only TRUE source of the correct info. Seriously.

[freestylegreek]

Well i think the ones at the store are the same ones at the blankmedia site.

[glockjs]

High quality organic 05 dye ?????

wasnt naked geek advertised as "high quality" c'mon now, we all know what it means when somebody is trying to push their product as high quality

[freestylegreek]

What glockjs?

[glockjs]

usually means it's crap...the worst media is almost always advertised as "great" or "high" quality media. i dont think ive ever seen taiyo yuden or maxell's advertised like that and they are the best media you can buy

[freestylegreek]

Well i heard bad and good things about Ritek. Well i found blankmedia had the same dvd-r's on there site.

Dood.. I have never even see an ad for TY or Ritek or even Prodisc, just goes to show.. word of mouth is ALWAYS a breaker or a maker!!

You worded that perfect. Only Ritek, Prodisc and a few selected others, and mostly what LS recommends is what I buy!!!

[freestylegreek]

So what he is saying is Ritek basically is crap if someone says they are high quality.

Well maybe my orginal quastion can still get answered? If anyone out there has used the brand that I mentioned.

i didnt say that ritek is crap. it has been great media in the past. but lately ritek has been a hit or miss. im sayin most of the brands in the past that were advertised as "great media" were crap...example: princo. im saying who knows what that media actually is. i tend to pay more money so i know what im getting so there are no questions about it. but do what you like.

[freestylegreek]

That link I showed was going to show with the white top and purple bottom thats what they have at the computer store near me.

So I guess someone out there has used the type of ritek media im talking about and can let me know how it went for them.
