Are Ricoh DVDs Poor Quality Now...?

[SteyrAUG]

Been using them for the last couple years since I learned the hard way that Memorex, Ritek, and TDK were junk.

All the DVDs I made freeze up and won't copy to my hard drive.

So I started using Ricoh DVDs. Played great and I could copy them to my hard drive without issue.

Except for the ones in the last batch of 200 I ordered. They freeze up and fail any attempt to copy to my hard drive.

I thought Ricoh as some kind of quality standard.

Anyone have any advice?

Might be a bad batch, and bad luck on your part for getting it...

I think Ricoh is what Ritek used to use, before ritek regretfully turned into crap-brand media.

Do yourself a favor and just get Tayou Yuden, and transfer all those ricoh's to them before they become unreadable enough. Seems you cannot go wrong with Tayou Yuden.

Maybe you need a new burner and/or new firmware.
