    I have been out of the loop for a while. Is Ritek still the best dvd-r media to use? I have been backing up some movies on these cheap memorex pink dvdr's and I have noticed after watching the movie a couple of times, it starts skipping. I am wondering if its my 6 year old dvd player? or if its these cheap disks that easily get scratched and ruined. Anyway, what is the best media to by right now? This?

    Go with the Verbs like gamename said or Taiyo Yuden.
    The Ritek GO5's starting giving me problems - just my experience. I haven't used them in about 2 years.

    Check out http://supermediastore.com too.
    You can get better prices on media there - usually run specials with free shipping.

    I would say the best medias to buy right now are Taiyo Yuden(own brand or under other brands such as Sony,Fuji,Verbatim)followed by Verbatim(MCC)and then Maxell(MIJ).

    But i personally use TY Verbs which i find amazing,no problem and not a single coaster till now.I'm done with using cheap and crap medias like before,using cheap medias,it's always problem here or there,now or after,always a headache.

    1. Ty's
    2. Verbs
    3. Ritek G05's
    My usage is in order listed and I've had no coasters with any. When I first started to back up my movie collection, I used anything available. I know I am going to have to do some remakes and will probably use Ty's mostly. Later George
