I ordered my first 50 pack of Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R silver tops.

Next payday I'm ordering printables

I never had a problem with 4x pro-disc but I started to get a bunch of problems when i switched to the 8x. Now the only thing I buy is TY.

My burner won't burn Taiyo Yuden's, but it has no problems with Prodiscs.

Jen - Is that the Digicopier that won't burn TYs? I can't burn Fuji media in my Digicopier, either. Won't even recognize there's a blank disc in the drive.

So far, I've been having consistently good luck with Verbatim discs.

Fuji's Japanese media are TY. Sounds like the "Digicopier" has a drive that cannot see TY media, which isn't a good thing.

It's an LG 8X drive, too. I don't have problems with the read drive, but the write drive just won't recognize 'em. So I use Maxells and Fujis for my masters, Verbatim for copies, and for people who have old fussy players, CompUSA.

Ritek are not that great in the USA. Some of the RIDISC UK stock may be alright, but I would still just avoid it in general if you can. RITEK hasn't been good media in 18 months or longer.

I can atest to how bad Ritek is. My last batch of DVDs were Ritek and they were maybe 5 out of every 10 discs of Id say fifty percent bad, on the good side.

Deb,

Yes, my DigiCopier either won't recognize TYs or gives me a coaster. By the way, I sent my burner into the company last month for the second time. Both times it died on me after about 300 DVDs. But I love it when it works!
