great for recording TV shows but I buy only inkjet printables. Thanks though

I don't care what you say. I am now a Ritek Bigot and I will not cheat and try other brands. Never. Wouldn't be right.

I have so far made 6 coasters out of 20 Riteks from a 50 sprindle.

Prices here are $29 for Ritek $60 for Taiyo Yuden and $70 for Maxell.

$19.99 for 509, that's 40c ea. Good price for Best Buy. What speed?

On the other hand, I refilled with the very good Ritek G05 8x inkjet-printable DVD-R recently for 37 cents each (@100), Supermediastore this time, there are many others.

If only the DL discs would get down to these prices :)

"Prices here are $29 for Ritek $60 for Taiyo Yuden and $70 for Maxell"

Are you in Canada? If so, you can get Verbatim 8x +/- R inkjet printable from Staples for $58.00/50 You must, however, wait two or three weeks because these are "special order".

HAHAHA

Good one

I tried Ritek based on recommendaitons in this forum. Last night I posted a thread asking about what sounded like a hardware problem. Odd, since I've used the drive in question to successfully burn 100's of DVD's without issue. Then yesterday two bad ones in a row. Yep, it was the media, Ritek. Upon very close examination some minor imperfections were seen on blank media in the remaining 22 I still had. Same location center relative to the edge on the discs that "went bad", actually, it seems more logical they WERE BAD to begin with.

Point being you can get bad media regardless of brand and I HATE bulk 50 or 100 spindles, they're the worst.
