Burned 10 fine, but 2 month later NONE are readable in any DVD drive or player. Absolute disaster!!

Ritek DVD-R 4x (G04) are fine though.

Comments posted by Mbones from Other, December 20, 2003:
The TDKG02 media is an excellent media. It is 100% compatable with TDK and NEC burners. DVDinforPRO indicates a zero error rate. Please check your media with DVDinfoPro before you post comments. This media is indicated as DVD-R47/ACB25 (Taiwan) and may be easy confused with the TDK branded Ritek (G04) media. Ritek does not recomend using their media with TDK or NEC burners. Ritek media should be used with Pioneer burners.

Buyer beware because TDK has not indicated the difference on thier package between TDK and TDK branded Ritek media on either their CD-R or DVD-R media. I recommend that you contact TDK at their web site and and ask them why? Good Luck.

Great media. Movies play without any skipping and loads fast. I burned some movies and when the credits at the end of the movie come up, the dvd player would have a hard time reading the media.
I might buy some more but until then I'm going to stick with BeAll 1x media for now because they still gives me the best results of any dvd media.

Burns well at 2x & no problems on playback all the way to edge of disc. Did burn one coaster but I blame that on Nero, not the media. Best buy has these on special for 29.99 for 25 discs this week.

This is the best DVD media....
If you're going to burn movies this is the one to use.
Yes it's more expensive, yes you'll get some coasters, but it works consistently OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
After trying princo 1x, 4x, optodisk 1x, 2x, 4x.
After experimenting with at least 10 different DvD players I've come to conclusion that TDK is far more supperior to others.
Beware, that even if other media works fine with your player the question is will it work again in 6 month or more.
Something happens to it that as time goes by even if its ok in the begining the DVD players I've tryed eventually stopped somewhere in the middle of the movie. This happened to me countless times with non-TDK media. I've wasted countless hours of recording and testing DVD players for compatability. I've simply should have stock with TDK ftom the begining.
Don't make the mistake I've made.
Too bad you can't give this a score.
On a scale of 1-10 this is 20!!!

Same comment goes for TDK 4x+R

DVD writers used Sony DRU500A, DRU500AX, DRU510a, Pioneer A03,A04
Best of luck.

P.S. This comment applies only to DVD VIDEO recording and not Data

Great media. bought a 25 pack at bestbuy for 49.99 (bef. tax). Burned 20 DVD movies and PS2 backups with only one fail burned (my fault, bad disk image was used).

On PS2 use: in game videos play smoothly and load times are extremely fast.
