I've been using this for over a year now. Have been very happy with it. But the latest 2 spindles that I got, most failed either on burning the 2nd layer or reading the 2nd layer after successful burn. So I'm thinking of switching over to Verbatum.

I have now burned 3 out of this spindle of 25 and not one will play on any drive except the Pioneer DVR-109 that burned it - neither the 3 PowerBooks' internal drives, the three PowerMacs I tried it on, nor the Jaston DVD player that previously would recognize and try to play anything I put into it.

The discs also burned incredibly slowly - 45minutes for 6.5Gb. The DVR-109 has the current firmware and continues to burn the Verbatim 2.4x DL discs I normally use as it previously did.

I am going to try to get these RiDATA discs exchanged for the reliable Verbatim 2.4x 10-packs I had been using with a 90%+ success rate.

So much for "knowledgable" co-workers singing the praises of RiDATA media's value...

No more Ritek/Ridata DL + or - R DLs for me. Purchased a 25 count spindle 02-28-'06 from Supermediastore.com @$2.00 ea. Media failed on every attempt (about a dozen total) with my NEC-3550A and LG GWA-4164B. Verbatim DL media works without a hitch (so far) on both burners. I've also had no success with Ridata +R DL. Too bad; it's the lowest priced DL media around, and I've had good luck with their 4.7G -Rs. Hopefully, they'll get their act together, or Verbatim will lower their prices.

Comments posted by Henrique from United States, December 27, 2005:
Completely unreliable media! I had a really bad feeling when my Pioneer DVR110D recognized this media as 2X only, even using the latest firmware from Nov. 30 2005.

Burnt two discs (at 2X - what a pain!) with both Nero and Alcohol 120% and the results are really disappointing. My dad's Philips DVP642 won't even start the disc and it works poorly on my Xbox - chapters at the beginning and ending of the disc play well, but the problem seems to be around the layer break.

Before trying these I had burnt a dozen of Verbatim's 4X DVD-R DL with excellent compatibility results and no problem at all.

NOT RECOMMENDED! Get Verbatim instead, they're twice the price but deliver what they promise.
