Hi,

I just come from this poll :
http://www.cdfreaks.com/poll/26

and near half of the people voted for a manufacturer I don't even know.
Can someone tell me under which brand(s) they are sold ?

TY is just about the best there is, that's very much true. You'll just have to watch out for the fake TY discs - when the price is very cheap, you can be sure it's a fake.

Verbatim is one brand which has TY's in some discs.

See here: http://www.os-mediatrade.de/ (they sell genuine TY's)

It's amazing that I never read about this manufacturer before.
Thanks Boulder.

Edit: I browse a couple of online site and they all write "These are authentic Taiyo Yuden (made in Japan, media code TYG02)"

I've heard of this manufacturer and imho the genuine Disc's are the best. I use Disc's with their dye.

Taiyo Yuden is (was) also a distributor for TDK.

According to the IDs:
Yuden's
TTD (TDK)
MCC (Mitsubishi) like Verbatims
Ritek G04

do have a nice Quality.
But MCC did on the Verbatim DVD-R 8x a bad job. As the Dye is recognisably worse than on the 4x versions.

Normally here in germany the prices fo very good medias are about 17-24€ for a Cake Box containing 25pc.

That's exactly what puzzles me !
Guenuine TY are sold near 0.8-1€/disc. That is more than £20 a 50pcs cakebox. So I wonder about the quality of these Ritek.

Do someone know a link where I can check which disc ID is a TY (guenuine or EOM) or not ?

A good Online CD/DVD Media Distributor does mention those IDs on each Media product page. I would keep hands off from Distris which doesnt mention IDs.
Anyhow .... Fakes are not only Brand-Labeled, also Brand ID faked

This one is german BUT you can choose french blabla
http://www.dvdrohlinge24.com/catalog...hp/language/fr

And I found silver blanks Taiyo Yuden in 100pc. boxes for 68,73 € (0,69 € each): http://www.dvdrohlinge24.com/catalog...2A/language/fr

I think shipping is no issue?!

I also have no Problems using RITEK G04 as I always no exceed 4x speed when burning using my Pioneer Burner:

I bought my last disc from there
But you surely did a mistake then has you said Ritek G04 are TY but you can find them on dvdrohlinge for 17.5€ / 50pcs
http://www.dvdrohlinge24.com/catalog...roducts_id/701

BTW, I saw last week discs with a blue dye (not the commun purple or deep purple). Does anyone tried some like that ?

I wouldn't touch RiDiscs, they are Grade B in Ritek's books.

I meant that I never had Problems with the Manufacturer Ritek G04 (the ID, like Taiyo Yuden).

17,50€ for 50pcs is very cheap.
EDIT: Boulder just mentioned why

People do often report bad issues on cheaper DVD Medias AFTER! they labeled their disks. Thats something I would never do anymore, exept direct printing on the printable surface.
Till spring last year I did label my disks so they look like a very good safe backup. And then the experiences:

- Labeled using inkjetprinted labels, directly putted after outgoing of the inkjetprinter
= after 2 Days ca. 80% SAP read failures!!!

- Labeled using inkjetprinted labels, waiting 1 Day after prinitng so the lables are "desert" dry
= after ca. 5 Days ca. 60% SAP read failures!!!

- Labeled using Colorlasercopier Labels, dry printed by a CANON CLC 1130
= after ca. 2 Months ca. 40% SAP read failures!!!

- NO labeling (or printing directly on the printing surface)
= NO problems at all.

So these paper-Labels seem to arch those Medias so the Laser can't focus the right points on the Media anymore.

I did begin to put my old backups into warm water incl. a bit of dish liquid *and after 1 Day the old paper label did "fall" off
After drying and cleaning the Media surfaces I testet them again in the SAP and ..... probems solved!

Also any "printable" discs don't appear to be as good as non-printable ones. This is not just my opinion but many others' as well.

I agree with you on that one, I have found this to be true also.
