I'm about to purchase a whole lot of 4xDVD-R, at least 500. I would like to go for prodisc or Linkyo since I heard that it's pretty reliable and cheaper than Ritek [175(prodisc) < 190(Linkyo) < 285(ritek)]on Supermediastore)
I have Pioneer DVR105/A05 burner 4x DVD-R/-RW
I'll mainly back up of Movies.
I just want to know how reliable are prodisc and linkyo media, (coasters, standable dvd player compatibility, etc). I've been a ritek fan since ever.
Also, what is the life storage on these media? I'm planning to make a purchase in 2 weeks, so I need opinions ASAP.
Also, Supermediastore: Do you offer any freeshiping with Prodisc and Linkyo, because I didn't see it on your website?
Thanks everyone.

The white top inkjets print great and look pretty good.
Both versions burned all the way to the end with out any errors. They both play fine on my standalones. I burn with a pioneer 106
I also had great sucess with Ritek (orange top landscape design) in the past. I only stopped using them because I wanted inkjet printables and ProDiscs were less expensive
Never tried the Linkyos -

You gonna start sounding like an "as seen on TV" comercail again like in that locked thread you started??
Like what is your problem,

One bad thing about the Silver top CD though is you can't get a good scan very easily if you want to upload a pic somewhere, I tried a few times and it looked like crap because of the reflections.
I think it was the Prodsisk I was looking to buy next, Nec 2500A 8x burner here and I don't care if I burn any faster than 4x or not. -
I like the G04 printables the best.
The silver Prodiscs have a cool effect, and I choose the colors to print on them to achieve the best "WOW" effect. Experiment with bright colors and you'll be surprised how cool it looks.
The white prodiscs are OK, not as silky smooth as the G04. -

I would also recommend getting a small qualtity to test (don't they have a "sampler pack"??).
Then plunk down the big $$ on the ones you find you like.Panasonic DMR-ES45VS, keep those discs a burnin' -
Rima.com will send you a sample at no charge if you email. They have done it for me 3 times and I rewarded them with multiple orders.
Still a few bugs in the system...
