Just purchase 50 of the PrimeDisc with DVD cases and they work just fine. I'm not happy with the DVD cases, they're a bit difficult to get a DVD back into, but the discs are working great. Will probably order more.
I'm using the Pioneer A03 w/1.80 flash. Last edited by padre; 11th May 2002 at 04:40. |

TDK Cheap?
And what about the TDK media that they're selling in bulk for cheap?
Are those "real" TDK media (like the jewel case ones) ?? Have anyone tried it? Here goes the link: TDK 2X DVD-R Discs for General Use 4.7 GB - 4.7GB Bulk w/case box 50 Pack Thanks for any help. |

Meritline too!
Meritline is selling TDKs at a good price too.
Check this out: TDK DVD-R Blank Media 4.7 GB 2X for General Use in Jewel Case (DVD-R47AAX) And it is the jewel cased ones. Has anyone tried this media? It is as good as Verbatim? Thanks. |

I just ordered some of those TDK's from meritline and I also ordered some of the double sided ones they're selling now. I don't know how accurate their pictures are on the web site, but the pic looks like it says Primedisc. I haven't tried those yet, but I'll let you know when I get it.

Well, the only way to tell what they are (TDK or not) is using Advdinfo. First thing I'd do would be check one, verify it's TDK before going anywhere near them. But I think they're (Shop4Tech) going to be checking what they send, since the PrimeDisc mishap cost them alot in reshipping/replacement.
Let us know how they work! Padre |

I have received my Primediscs from Shop4Tech...
They are in bulk. Silver on top and dark purple on bottom side. ADVDInfo says they are Ritek Generation 3... Are what they are supposed to be ? Currently compiling one of my work... Going to burn one of them in a couple minutes.. Will edit this message when the job'll finish! _______________________________________________________ My burned dvd seems to work perfectly from the beginning 'till the end! It seems that I only have a little problems with branching and command sequence in Maestro I have to take a look! Anyway, that's another problem, and is out of topic! Keep us informed about the TDKs ... I want to order again from them.. They ship via UPS and in Canada it seems that Duties and taxes are bypassed.. (dunno why!)

Tatjahna,
Yes, PrimeDisc show up as Ritek generation 3 under ADVDinfo. I've just recieved another 50 from Shop4tech and they've been working perfectly (with the exception of the 1 disc that got toasted during the electrical storm! ) You know, I've heard the same about UPS and shipping to the UK. I send some stuff over there last week, and was advised by our administrator to use UPS rather than Fedex because when it goes UPS, it has less 'questions' at customs. Interesting.... Padre |

OFF: Taxes
Here in Brasil there's no way to bypass taxes when u ship via FedEx, UPS Via USPS Air Mail chances are 50/50
Shure bypass only for orders under U$50,00 and not from a Company. The sender must be an individual. And the worst: the taxes are 60% over the invoice total. That's why I'm ( as many are ) seeking for the better/cheaper deal on media. On local stores all we have is some printable media named "Net Perfect" that costs U$3,30 per disc in bulk. My results with this media seems to be kinda good for video and 50/50 for PS2 games. ADVDinfo says ".....GSC001.." Does anyone know about those? Cya! |

Padre, in fact I have noticed that Shop4Tech have sent me the wrong package.
They have sent me Ritek dvd-r thermal-printable instead of retail Primediscs. I don't really bother about that since I don't use the cd cases and it worth the same price. Just beware, I have read somewhere that they seems to have frequently problems with our orders by sending us wrong contents. @5150: No I don't know these ones.. But about your amount of taxes : It's monstruous!! Well guys, we haven't choose a hobby that is cost-free huh?

I'm the one who notified everyone of the shipping problem ( with Shop4Tech). They said they were fixing it, and they took care of everyone who were shipped 'other' brand discs instead of PrimeDisc.
What does the surface of a thermal printable disc look like? All the ones I've been getting from them are just silver topped. They used to have the PrimeDisc logo etched into the label, but now they're just blank (but they have the same inner serial number of C1-xxxxx). |

I have the same as you (silver-top) and it seems that I have the same serial as you : C1-3L16K2XXXXXXXX
Well.. If they work great... All I want is that my dvd-rs works perfectly. I only hope that in a month or 2 they will still work. There is a thread about that problem from CommanderXJL on that forum, take a look, and as he says, believe it or not! Me, for having noticed the same, I believe it!

TDK media
I received last week 25 TDK DVD-R from meritline, in jewel case at $2.79...
This media is great !!! I can finally burn in x2. It plays perfect everywhere I can tell the difference of quality, I think "made in japan" is usually a guaranty of good stuff.
