What is the problems manufacturing blank DVD disks?

[roberson]

:mad: Are some manufacture that produce blank DVD disk just out to cheat the buyer? What is so hard to correctly place good dye on these disk? Dye that is not week toward the edge of the disk. Why can they get it correct? I hope that someone here on this forum can tell me why. I would be willing to pay a little more to get quality blanks DVD disks. I am using Ritek G04 but still it the pack of 100 I find several that are bad disks. This is what I can not understand. Please some info on this subject.:confused:

Its all down to what works best with your burner/pc! Ritek, Verbatim and Datawrite are all popular discs, but they all do various qualities of disc. You mention Ritek GO4 discs, if you use the orange ones with purple go4 dye then you may not be aware that these discs (and all Ritek discs with the "landscape" pattern) are rejected discs from Ritek's Taiwan production line.
These graded discs may contain dye imperfections that will prevent them from working as well as an A grade disc. They do however use the Ritek G04 dye, so the discs that do not have imperfections will work well. This may be your problem.

3 solutions. 1. Pay a little extra and get the branded Riteks.
2. Try a different brand of disc.
3. Compress yor file size down a bit to say 4.4gb and avoid problems with burning on the outer edge.

I use branded ritek go4'4x and it costs under £12 for a pack of 25.
