dbminter Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Got some Sony DVD-R's and they've started using Ritek as their manufacturer. The MID used to be SONYD16 or something like that; it is now RITEKF1. I've not had problems with Ritek, even using TDK Ritek DVD+R DL. But, I know some people have had trouble with Ritek before, so, I'm passing this piece of information along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm using MAXELL DVD-R's that have RITEKF1 MID and have no problem at all with them. Two burners are dead now, one was LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1L the other was ASUS 0001 DRW-2014L1 the discs have no problems reading back. Now I'm stuck with TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S203D from a disasambled computer and still burn RITEKF1 without problems. When this will go out I'll get an Optiarc.

dbminter Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I've not had any issues with Ritek media either. I've used several kinds ranging from Office Depot CD to DVD media. It's just I've heard a lot of people apparently outside of the US have had quality control problems with Ritek. As I said, I didn't have any issues even with their DVD+R DL that was TDK branded from Office Depot. (No longer made, it seems. I still use Verbatim MKM as my primary source of DVD+R DL, though.) I've used Optiarcs for several years now. I don't know if Optiarc is even still a brand actually. They may all be branded as Sony drives now. I know when I do searches for them on NewEgg, I usually use the term Sony Optiarc. Or sometimes just Optiarc. I violate even my own systems.
