ridata problems

[A1M]

I am getting a lot of problem with the ridata. Everytime I burn one
with the ridata it plays once and then it goes blank and no DVD player
or DVD drive can read it.

which one is the original.

What are you talking about? This question immediately brings a few questions to mind, such as: What are you trying to burn? What kind of burner are you trying to burn it with? What application created the files you're trying to burn. What application are you trying to burn these files with? Hardware problems? Software problems?

Take a spin, again, through the Forum Rules at the top of the page so you can keep yourself out of trouble from that direction, then you might want to go to Doom9's homepage and do some reading up on the "Basics".

We'll help you out, but you've got to give us much better information to work with.

I merged the two threads that you'd posted on the same topic; this is covered in the Forum Rules that I've pointed you to.

I am burning dvd movies, the format is dvd-r ,the software is nero 6 and the burner is a LG GWA-4164B

Now we're starting to get somewhere.

Are you trying to do a straight backup of some of your DVD's? If so, your DVD collection will be predominantly DVD9-dual layer and the discs you have in hand might be DVD5-single layer. Is this the case? Your burner supports burning to dual layer media, as I'm sure you know, so let us know which format you're trying to burn to.

You won't be able to send the contents of a dual layer-DVD9 disc straight to a single layer-DVD5 disc with your burning app.

If you're running files through an encoder or transcoder, such as DVD Shrink, let us know that, too.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Rule 6 so that you don't bring us a topic we can't help you with.

Hi!

ridata or riadiata which one is the Knockoff

"Ridata" is a legitimate brand name.

I have never heard of "riadiata"...

What speed are you burning the disks at?

[A1M]

the speed is 4x but i dont think that is the problem i think it is the redata blank that i am using because i am having the same problem with data DVDs and other movies on other dvd brands work. what do you think

I think you've answered your own question. If other DVD brands work, you should just stick with them.

*Edit: Always proofread to be sure you don't any words out.

redata

This is the THIRD different spelling you've used regarding the brand name of your media. Would you please CAREFULLY type the actual name here?

[A1M]

yes RIDATA is the correct spelling i am watching it right now

[setarip_old]

And what is the CORRECT spelling of the media that you believe is a "knockoff" - "riadiata" or "redata" - and where did you obtain them?
