    Same here. I have over 3000 movies burned on Ritek(both Blu-ray and DVD). I have had zero problems. Movies from as far back as 2002 play just fine. My children have played some of them over and over and they have a lot of scratches and still play fine. If you burn them slow with Image Burn or other reputable burning software, they work perfectly. Also you can`t beat the price.

    When I was burnning disc(now media player) I used Verbatim BD-R, x6 non htl or lth and never had a coaster or bad burn!

    They would burn at 6x with no problems! I used ImgBurn to burn the disc!

    Thanks dcc1048. I followed your last post regarding the OQ BD-R discs and started my research off that. I was looking at recent reviews on the discs you recommended and it seems like they fell drastically. Comments have been made about the disc quality getting thinner and more coasters. They say the coating is no longer purple. Now I'm worried about ordering these online and they were my #1 pick. Have you ordered any recently? One review said they are now calling them "Optical Quantum value" on the package.

    The OQ's are solid and Amazon has them a little cheaper than Newegg right now.

    Remember though, you need to keep the firmware on the drive up to date for the best results.

    Ritec (Memorex) disks won't burn in a lot of drives including my Pioneer drive.

    My best disks so far are the Digistor in 25G about $1.00 each and 50g about $4.50 each they are rated at 6x but can burn at 10x in my drive but fast burning isn't recommended for blurays so i burn at 4x and never had a coaster using hundreds over the years.Their made by TDK (MID: TDKBLD-RBD-000)

    I've done well with Ritek 4x inkjet printable BD-R media. No burning problems and no later playback problems or failures so far. I've gotten them from Newegg, Meritline & Fry's. They are frequently on sale for less than $1 per disc in 25 or 50 packages (the last batch of 50 I bought for less than $44 - shipped including sales tax). I've also used Imation inkjet printable media with no issues - but they were actually Ritek 4x BD-R media also.

    Best quality BD-R Blanks?

    Sorry for another new thread about BD blanks.
    I have been interested in doing BD for some time and I'm finally making the plunge on media. I have read many threads and have made some observations. Everyone has an opinion on media and I know that many drives out there are picky as to the media they like. I am also concerned about the lifetime of disc's as seen in the BD lifetime thread. So here it is...

    I have an LG WH14NS40 and I'm guessing that Optical Quantum 25GB 4X BD-R Blu-ray Disc Model OQBDR04LT will work as well as certain Verbatim like the Verbatim 25GB 6X BD-R 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model 97457.

    I don't think either of these are LTH which I'm not ready to experiment with yet but I'm looking for suggestions. Most importantly I'm looking for great pricing. Less than $1 disk preferably after shipping.

    I know Newegg has had some deals in the past but the best I can find is a 50 pack of Optical Quantum 25GB 4X BD-R Blu-ray Disc Model OQBDR04LT-50 for 39.99 + 4.99 shipping.


    Anyone seen any hot deals on 25 packs of good solid 25GB media?

    Thanks
Working...
