Just bought a 100 pack of G03 Retiks from All Media Outlet and when I opened them up I found that the have this very powerful smell to them. Is this normal? Should I send them back?

No, it's not a mold smell... it's more of a maple syrup sort of smell... I have never smelled anything like it before.

It's a new dimension in Multimedia. First there were
movies, then talking movies, now we have the full sensory
experience smello-vision. The DVD spec will be modified
to include smell tracks and a guide will be published
on how to fix video/smell sync problems. -

Closed environment can lenger the production smell. probally packaged too soon. Let them air seprately then see if it still has the same smell when you stack them back together.

That's normal. I have a 50 pack of CDs that smell like brown sugar - at least that was the closest smell. Fresh DVDs also have this smell. Perhaps we are the only ones with 'the gift' of smelling this.
-
Hmmm... yeah, brown sugar is a good description for the smell. The crazy thing is I've never encountered anything like this in all my years.
Well, as long the data is okay I don't care. Thanks for all the meaningful replies guyshttp://encoding.n3.net <-- for all your DVD and CD backup needs! -
I can see the headline now.
Police crack illegal DVD ring.
Police have cracked an illegal DVD ring last thursday. No not a pirating ring, but much worse. Kids these days are now looking to DVD's to get their quick fix. DVD's usually are sniffed, but may also be injected or smoked. Police have in custody.........
btw, every office xp cd that i have gotten from dell has had the ihop smell, people in the office thought i was crazy when i asked them to smell the cd. -
I think it was Pink Flamingos with Divine that was played in theaters in Smell-O-Vision.

DVD burning IS fun.
Like a Caribbean vacation.
Close your eyes and smell:
coconut trees, brown sugar(babes), pancake with maple syrup (this one is from Canada)...You stop me again whilst I'm walking and I'll cut your fv<king Jacob's off. -
Everytime I buy Ritek discs I notice the syrup smell too. I guess it's the glue they use to make the discs.
Doesn't smell too bad! -
I sort of thought that the TDK 4X +R spindle and a lot of the cdrom blanks i bought in the past reminded me of the smell of celery.
I assumed it was a cleaner they used after the manufacturing process myself.

Ok, time to put this in the DVD Media compatibilty list. I just checked all of my spindles, here's what I've come up with:
Fuji (rebadged G03) --> Celery (I definitely agree w/ Tboneit here)
2x TDK --> almost brown sugar, but not quite
BeAlls --> Plastic
2x Maxell --> celery coated w/ brown sugar
Can we add this to the DVD Media section? -
Am I the only one that thinks it's a bit odd for someone to be smelling their DVDR media? :0

I'd like DVD-R discs that smell like pizza.
Mmmm .... PIZZA Good ... mmmmmmm

Yes Meritline?
OK well I'd like 1 spindle of 100 DVD-R pizza scented discs and what the hell throw in 1 spindle of 25 DVD-R brown sugar scented discs. I might want desert after my pizza."The eyes are the first thing that you have to destroy ... because they have seen too many bad things" - Lucio Fulci

Does the pizza disc come in 30 min or its free? Cause with meritline that would be alot of free disc.

Yeah, lately I've been getting batches of CD's, the kind that have the white inkjet printable surface, and they smell like burnt vanilla / maple syrup. It must be going around...
Hey, maybe there will be an upsurge in the demand for Aroma discs again.
