Ritek are about the best out there for making backups, just make sure it has the ritek g05 dye and they will work on 99% of standalone players.
Never had a failure with a ritek dvd-r yet, used over 200 of them.
Yup, that dye is spot on, no complaints from me either.
It depends what kind of burner/firmware you have.
I've gone off Riteks and much prefer discs with a Taiyo Yuden TYG02 dyes like these:

They're a bit more expensive, but the quality is perfect on my NEC burner.
I tend to check out the cdfreaks forum before buying:

ever since i started making backup's / burning DVD's ive used Ritek disks and like the boys said above the g05 dye is second to none :mrgreen:
I've been using Verbatim disks here and at work for a while, never had a problem with them.

seems to slate ritek pretty bad
People who have a problem with something are always going to be more vocal than those who are totally happy, i can only speak from personal experience and having used a lot of ritek g05 dvd`s i am vey happy with them, not a coaster yet.Quote:

Taiyo Yuden are overall more consistant, assuming you are getting the real thing ;)
It is also worth noting that a *good* burn is not just a burn that does not end with a coaster :)
bingo :)Quote:

always had good results with ritek, for me, failiure rates seem to be very low (only 2 duffers out of 200, and they were the marked), ive had some of the R1 recently and they have been good, but i have had slightly more duff ones than the G05.
well yeah i also want a disc that last a long time too in storage.Quote:

Marcos, if you look at the my post earlier in this thread you'll see a link there to SVP. :) Basically you want any dye with TYG02 as the media code. These are 8x Tayo Yuden discs.
And if it's important stuff I always verify the disc after burning. Most software has this built in but CDCheck is good as a stand alone programme to verify a burn.
