  1. Never heard before about this DVD-R, there`s a 100 spindle a very good price, the cashier in the computer shop told me that they`re made by Fuji,or at least by the people who makes the DVD for Fuji, but I heard that they`re really cheap Ritek media, is that true?

  2. Depends... Rivision used to be Ritek, but nowadays they seem to be anyone (well, insofar as their overprints are concerned):

    Ridisc continue to be sourced from various different companies too:

    ... but are generally the better quality, first generation product... ie not overprints or surplus / QA rejected stock.

    The media list to the left details 3 manufacturers used for Rivision in the past:

    Personally I don't have a problem with Ritek, but I find the Rivision discs regardless of manufacturer work best in "disposable" applications like on my standalone DVD recorder, where throwaway prices make programmes that might get watched a couple of times better suited to a permanent medium than rewritables or clogging up hard disc space. There are better looking and better quality discs out there, but hey - if the price is right...

    I'm on my third spindle(25) of 8x +R Ridisc's purchased here in Germany with no problems yet. All have shown up as RITEK-R03-02 and burn well in both my old LG and my BenQ1620 Pro....though my BenQ is biting the big one fast.

  4. Hey thanks for the replies, the 100 unit RiVision spindle is available at 30$ , but I`d keep my trust on Verbatim, altough the 50 unit spindle costs 35$, but quality is quality

    Is supermediastore.com unavailable for you?

    The Taiyo Yuden 4x or 8x are reliable, for virtually the same price online - when you can get free shipping.

    FYI - IMHO

  6. Supermediastore.com doesn`t ship outside US or Puerto Rico, so isn`t an option to me, for now.

  8. Well just wanted to say that a friend of mine bought the 100 spindle, so I checked out one of them with Smartburn :

    Drive Type = DVD DUAL
    Disc Type = DVD-R (Single Layer)
    Disc MID = 50 72 6F 64 69 73 (Prodis)
    Disc TID = 63 46 30 31 00 00 (cF01..)
    Nominal Capacity = 3.18GB
    Manufacturer Maybe = Prodisc Technology Inc.
    SMART-BURN Speed Limit = 8.0X (Write)

    Well it says that is made by Prodisc (cF01), but I realized one thing, took a close look at the media , and it says "Fujifilm" Oxolife DVD-R for Video 1-8x, that is covered by the RiVision blue impression with a lot of clovers as a relief, so that means that this RiVision are some Fujifilm DVD-R with some poor quality, so they just impressed the RiVision logos and a lot of clovers to hide that?
