i had the same problem with a new 100 stack of riteks...appears to be a bad batch..if u look at the stack...the edges are very rough...and the dye towards the outer edge is uneven and bubbled...just did signs...used all but a few mb's...picture broke up at the last minute of the movie...reburned the same vob's using a better ritek...played well to the end...it's been my observation that the bulk packs tend to be of lower quality than say the 25 pack's...perhaps because your paying less for the quantity...they tend to throw in a few rejects in the bulk packs...ive never had a prblem with 25 packs of ritek...look carefully at the outer edges of the dye before you burn...if your going to use the full capacity of the disc...choose one without the edge defects...that way u'll get no skipping...save the edge distorted discs for smaller burns...
