Prodisc 4x DVD-R printable are AWESOME

[arcorob]

I have burned 55 of the 100 I purchased from RIMA and no issues !! Awesome burn and playback. Burns at 4x in my SONY flawlessly. Funny though, my ULEAD MF II only burns 2x ....Upgrade needed on ULEAD ?

I have also been using the Prodisc 4x media both Printable and the Matte versions, so far no coasters out of 150 matte and 75 printables. The media so far is aas good as the Ritek g04.

[arcorob]

Best part is RIMA dropped the price down to 56.00 for 100 discs plus 6 bucks shipping. 62 dollars is awesome.....

Same results here. I buy Ritek White top inkjet printables from Rima....currently $78US for 100ct. and have never had a coaster. I got some Prodisc white top inkjet printables from work for free and have had no burning or playback issues from them, so I may order a 100ct. pack from Rima for some more testing. Or see how much I can get them through work.

U should post about it in the Media topic on the left column, arcorob, too, so people know.

i burn these prodisks 4x from rima flawlessly at 8x with NEC ND-2500a!

Great quality, at first i was scared that 8x burns would deter the quality of the dvd, but i found out that on these prodisks, its actually better than burning at 4x!

*thread jack alert*

what is better Prodisc or BeAll? I really love the no stacking ring and hub printable of the BeAll's, does Prodisc have a version like that also?

[bluejazz]

I’ve tried Prodisc dvd-r, it’s good media.
I purchased it from supermediastore.com, at $44.91 for 100 pack.
I also use Ritek, but it a litte more expensive than Prodisc ($0.64 each)
