IMPORTANT NOTICE - BAD MEDIA - UK

That information was given to me by Ritek themselves on the telephone. I have also been told this by other companies not to mention other people mentioning it on other boards on the web.

If it is untrue, then it is ritek giving out the false information, not me.

 

.....

 

As I stated, you are not a customer and have not used my disks, I believe you to be making this up. You have not provided me with your details, because you know damn well you will not show on my database. Furthermore, if you had had problems with my media you would have contacted me to complain about it, and you certainly would have taken advantage of the guarantee. You have done none of these things. You have never contacted me to my knowledge, so keep your opinions to yourself, unless you are willing to provide a name so we can check our records.

As for the end of my disks locking up, this is not the case and is one of the main reasons people return to buy it again and again and again because they are sick of their backups freezing and they are sick of their disks degrading quickly.

Jasus guys.

come on we all know well I think we do that most disks are made by other obscure companys in asia as it is cheap to do this.

Example:Verbatim the dogs nuts but if you are in the know you will be aware that Verbatim no longer produce there own disk and have not since MCC sold that side of the company out to CMC, but the majority of there disk are made by MBI which has to be said are Sh*t to say the least.

Know you would be quite happy to pay £60.0 quid for 100 4 speed Verbs but would you pay the same for 100 Bulkpaq no I dont think so.

And MBI do produce disk for load's of companys out there as it is cheaper to produce a disk in Bombay than it is in Tiwan.

Ritek is the Placebo effect most poeple think they are the nads even if they are not but there is a old saying "if it aint broken well you know the rest :.)"

 

No that will not be anything like sufficient. I do not believe you are a customer, if you are, give up your name in private message so I can confirm it. There are several scans dotted around the web that you could just download.

If you are a customer, prove you are a customer. Then if you are a customer, perhaps you could take the time to explain why you never contacted me about problems, why you never took advantage of the guarantee?

You want to sit here making comments without backing it up. If you had a problem with an order, how am I supposed to fix it, or prevent it happening again in the future, if you don't tell me about it?

I react to feedback in a very positive way. The first shipment of disks I brought in had some cosmetic issues caused by the stamper. As soon as the customer pointed it out to me, I was in a video conference with the factory getting the problem fixed. They replaced the stamper and the cosmetic flaw is no more. If you are not willing to tell me when something is wrong, I cannot fix it. When people do tell me something is wrong, I do fix it.

The only way I believe you are a customer, is if you give me your details. The more you refuse, the more I disbelive you are genuine. And you still failed to answer my other questions.

Posted by NakedGeek "the an32 disks I use are produced on one of the top of the range production lines in the world. Singulus are regarded as one of the top companies in the world in their field." As has been stated earlier in this thread by Dave22, the AN31/32 dyes are considered to be average at best & the notion that the worlds best production line can turn an average dye into a worldbeater is hard to believe surely.
It's like saying that using the best paint & materials will turn a bad decorator into a good one, using the best tools will turn a bad car mechanic into a good one .
Not the best analogy but you get my point, all the production line can do is eliminate manufacturing defects & therefore make the most of what you have. I have to say that I have not used any NakedGeek discs & in no way am I criticising his product specifically.

What is of more interest is that the allegations made in this thread are a cause for concern. If it can be proved that a distributor is importing C or D grade discs & rebadging as A grade then there must be some recourse in law? Not only by Ritek but also by the paying custumers who have been duped into buying misrepresented goods.
Another allegation is that flash is in the pocket of said distributor, is there any proof apart from heresay & rumour? Flash is a well respected media tester & to say that he has connections with or is in the employ of the above distributor is to say that all his published media tests are worthless. Can these allegations be backed up?

On another note it is true that DVD-recordable.org (& a certain other forum) is owned or funded by Total Media Distribution, Edinburgh, the owners of Datasafe/write & Bulkpaq amongst others. It would therefore be safe to assume that any tests published on dvd-recordable will have a slight leaning towards those products

Like I said previously, your opinion means jack to me funbobby as I do not believe you are a customer. Until you are willing to give me your details so I can check you truly are a customer, I am not interested in anything you have to say.

I would suggest to everyone reading this thread that you are a liar and the results you have posted are fake. Until you prove otherwise, that is what you look you like. If you truly were a customer and you truly were having bad results you would have reported the problems to me earlier and taken advantage of the guarantee. As it is you did neither, you have refused to give me your details to confirm you identity so you look like nothing less than lying stirring piece of excrement.

There is no way on this world, that I am willing to believe you would not have contacted me about this for your money back, based on how verbal you are being on this forum about it.

I said previously I would not comment further on your posts, this time, is the last.

Again, that proves nothing. Flash could have easily taken those pictures himself. Furthermore, there is no evidence that the disc graphs you showed are my product, or that you did not deliberatly damage the media before burning onto it.

I put it to you again that if you truly were a dissatisfied customer, with the amount of venom you have injected into this thread, I refuse to believe you would not have contacted me sooner to complain. Also, if you actively chose not to bring problems to my attention, once again you have no right to complain now, since if you had told me of your problems I could have made efforts to correct them. Go crawl back into your deceitful little hole with your chum flash.

You mean I must have scribbled on top of the PRINTABLE ONES you sent me and produced the horrible design. I don't think so! I can do better than that. You can see by the design that they are NOT PRINTABLES and you know yourself you sent me a pack of printable ones.
I would imagine that funbobby purchased just the 1 tub to sample the discs and the loss will hardly break the bank, I am sure if he had purchased a large quantity of the discs you would have heard from him. Don’t you understand the reason for him not revealing his name and address to you so that you can hound him at home as well as here. The fact that potential customers have to log onto your site before they can purchase is off-putting to say the least!

 

Flash, I have no interest in anything you have to say, you are a liar, you already proved that much by saying i requested you to remove the G05 scans, which your own post proves I did not. You work for e-net, the one company responsible for the problems with media in the UK. You endorse their products, despite the fact that they have proved to be severely lacking time and time and time again. You are a dishonest person.

As for hounding him, he came here and jumped in on my products, i did not seek him out at all. Also to suggest I would do such a thing is ludicrous. He will not give me his details, because he did not purchase.

If he is a genuine case, then he is an idiot. I can not be held responsible for the problems he may or may not have had if he does not bring them to my attention. There are facilities in place for dealing with problems if he refuses to use these facilities, he has no right to complain period. Even if his results are genuine (and I still do not believe they are) there are many reasons why he may have had those results and most of them are correctable, the ones that are not are refunded (to date no refunds have had to made).

The proof of whether my media is high quality or not is in the reviews from my customers, my genuine customers, who take the time to leave a review. The same customers that keep getting blocked by dvdrhelp.com for wanting to share their experience with my media. As I stated before, they have no outside incentive to lie about my media, you do.

I think it is about time a mod took control of this thread again, the pair of you have done nothing but hijack it. The thread was originally about e-net, my response was about e-net, you are the two people that turned it into a "lets flame naked geek" fest. Grow up and go get a real life instead of taking snide back handers from one of the most unethical businessmen I have ever heard about.

I do not expect a reply to this but I am going to repeat myself anyway. Your suggestion that the G05 was 8x media and yours was 4x media was an indication to me you did not want it being compared with far superior media of a different speed rating The actual text of your email is posted earlier. To show no ill feelings I have posted the original pre post review on here for others to see. It’s you who is the liar trying to twist whatever is adversely posted about your media to your advantage. Have you thought of going into politics

I work for no-one I am early retired on medical grounds and live several hundreds of miles from e-net.

I am supplied samples of media which may or may not be their products and do test reviews in my old age which you in a minority consider to be worthless. I do not give a shit about your opinion or your media

Had this been true I could have easily swung the test review on media-help in your favour. It would have been a great moral booster for your company and the forum. I did agree against my better judgement to delay the review so that you could get other opinions but even this did not satisfy you as the other reviews were not all that favourable and in fact several of them were worse than mine, but you chose to have them removed. I must assume that all the good reviews you have mentioned in this thread are the ones that you did not remove

 

There is a long discussion about blank dvd's.
Today I tried to burn on a -R at X4 of a known brand more than 2 times but with no success. Right after I inserted a noname -R X2 disk which burned successfully! My nightmare was a 3 letter well knowing firm. I spend a lot og money with that firm (which was known since the analog era fabricating cassette tapes). And finaly I descovered that the burning media of the same firm was burning at 33% (one successful compilation out of three)!
Beware about the suggested write speed. Choose the writing speed of the disk manufacturer and not the one suggested by the burn programm (a lot og X4 +R disks are prompted to burn at X8 from new models or s/w upgrades.

 

Nacked geek man take time out can you not see that you are digging yourself a big fat hole and there is only one place you can go and that is in it.

You keep slatting other companys for the media they supply i.e the company in Scotland, but you have got to remeber the guy who own's this comapny if he got a head on for the comments on this thread he could drag you through the courts for years just for the pure slander you are stating on this thread and this would be out of his pocket money.

Call it a day and go forward all poeple should be able to defend there selves but you are just bitting know and it is starting to look verry sad.

Peace
