[chudm]

Hi what's up everyone, i got a lg gsa-4120b, but the drive was having problems so i took it to the warranty 2 weeks ago, now tomorrow they will give me a gsa-4160b, any suggestion of media that i could use in this drive? I used befor ritek g04, should i keep using those?, , anyway i'm from venezuela and cant find here any fuji dvd media so i only can find ritek, optodisc, skc, gygablock, v-max, ridex, stuff like that, ritek are the best of those right? for an lg gsa-4160b drive, thanks for yours suggestion

Hi I own the 5120D by LG and everything I put at it, it likes.

The media tested:

TY 8X dvd+r (from Rima)
Prodisc 4x dvd-r (from Supermedia)
Optodisc 4x dvd+r (from Supermeia)
Memorex 4x dvd+r (from Compusa which are Prodisc03 media)
Also own Memorex 8x dvd-r from Wal-Mart that are Ritek G05's which burn great, but only at 4x.

I think on all 8x dvd-r media on our model LGs it will burn only at 4x speeds, but dvd+r's it will due up to 12X. I perfer you stick w/ the dvd+r medias.

4x speed is not a problem for me man , so i should buy ritek right?, cause it's a good brand and works on ur lg right? i ask u cause latelty i couldnt find good media dvd-r here only those riteks, and dvd+r are really expensive here :P dnt know why :S

ridata media is good at this lg drive?

Yea, I got Go5 Ritek dvd-r and also Prodisc dvd-r and none have failed on me.

Every Hypermedia(yeh I know - cheap) it rejected, but burnt fine on a lite-on!
Also memorex didn;t like the lg's.
The discount "named" brands +R's are good from tiger direct, Philips/HP but lg 4160 doesn't do Book types.

thanks regal cause i cant still decide with dvd-r should i buy for this 4160b the g04 or the ridata ritek g05, what do u think g04 or g05?

Don't use Ritek with this drive, stick with media id: MXL; TY or RICOHJPN

Actually, the thread you cite winds up exonerating Riteks; the OP had made a mistake with cache allocation and had assumed the resulting bad burns were the media's fault. Upon fixing his system the Riteks performed flawlessly.
