most people who are recommending ritek have u actually tried copying one of the riteks again from the ritek media???

this is where the problems with them arise as i stated... burning to them isnt an issue and neither is playing them... ive been using princos for years now even their CDs before i got a burner but started having issues with them however at least i was able to copy from them again.

that test u did was interesting.... im guessing the higher the rating the better? i know the TDKs i was using were awesome... no issues at all... but they werent printable which makes my printer redundant ;)

inark:

I had a neighbour just drop over 2 Ritek's that he was trying to watch/copy that were both skipping (didn't skip for me on 2 different DVD Players 2wks ago when I first burnt them) and he couldn't copy them either.

I'm re-doing them right now with these Verbatims.

Yes the higher the rating the better. The spikes on the graphs are where you get skips, pauses, etc when watching the movies (or could be the parts that stop them from being duplicated again).

I must have used different RiTEK's maybe?? I burn all of my stuff @ 4x (I have an 8x burner)

All my masters are RiTEK's and ive burnt off them 100s of times :)

Could the burner have anything to do with it?

Yes the burner plays a part in how successful the burn is. Some burners perform well on media that other burners hate. The firmware plays a bigger part in it though as firmware revisions are generally only released as new media becomes available (brand, speed and dye content). Ie v1 of a firmware might be really good at 4x Ritek's but bad at 8x Riteks so they release a v2 to cover that problem. But then Ritek could change the dye chemical content midway through production and v2 could be worse than v1.

You just have to find a media (and model of that media) and stick to it until either you buy a new dvd burner or they stop making that particular media.

My choice! :D

I used to sell these things, I mean alot of them probably about 50000 peices a month easily I can tell u that princo's are not as good a disk as ritek. If you actually analyse the write quality, the riteks will win easily. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your dvd writer. Also note that each writer has different issues with different branded disks. Eg Sony/Liteon (they are the same drive) will be different than NEC/Pioneer (they also are pretty much the same) . Im not too sure which is the best drive right now but 3 months ago I bought a pioneer cause it was the best at that stage. After selling princos, I myself wouldn't use them. I only use riteks cause they are the cheapest high quality stuff out. Also be careful with dodgy media, ie branded riteks that aren't really riteks, grey imports etc. just my opinion.

I believe only 'current stock' is being sold with no more being ordered until the legal stuff is over.

Very interesting, I just ordered 5000 princo 8x -R media.

Will look into Riteks but at this point I have had very little problems with them and all my customers seem very happy.

We are selling the Pioneer, LG and Samsung DVD Writers. (must say Im very happy with the samsung drives! Cheap and seem to do the job very well.)

I'd skip straight past the Ritek (G05's) and go straight to something like TDK/Verbatim/Fuji. I believe Ritek has gone out of business anyhow, not sure how long stock will last (or of another company has bought them out).

Hearing very bad reports about Ritek's (both A grade genuine and other Ritek branded disc's).

Ive had TDK in the past ( DVD+R RW and DVD-R RW and both have failed after about 4 - 5 burns. Havent used the non RW form so will probably give them a try.

Stay clear of LASER I got 500 in ( 10 x 50 pcks ) and had 4 customers complain about more than half not working at all.

hmmmm i use 2 different burners and the riteks all do the same thing... ive just ordered 300 blank TDK printables.... f*k the yum cha brands im getting sick of their dodginess... like everything i spose u get what u pay for ;)

Where are u guys getting RiTEKs from? Ive tried numerous shops in the west side of Melbourne an no more RiTEKS for months, dunno how u guys can still get them now!?!?!

In the meantime, im using RiDATA, probably burnt off a good 5-600 none have failed me yet on 4x Even though i can i dont burn faster than that, just to be safe.

Isnt a good way of telling a good blank from a bad one is the colour of it? The darker the better? Thats what u mean by dye content isnt it Hippy? They did the test for PS2 laser compatibility!?! Princos hurt ur PS2 people!

Whats a cake of 50 TDK worth Narky?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
