If you want to get depressed, use a program like DVD Decrypter that tells you the manufacturer of your media. Don't be surprised if your "Verbatims" are really repackaged Ritek G05s.

I've been using Riteks for over a year now...so does Fuji, Imation and Memorex in addition to Verbatim.

Personally I'd scrap the 8x burning part ... the burn quality is just not consistent enough yet. I'd wait for firmware improvements ...

I have never ever seen Verbatims that are Ritek branded. If they are available they are certainly not genuine as Verbs will always be either MCC (Mitsubishi Chemical Company) or the slightly inferior CMC which I think are produced by Verbatims European sister company. Mitsubishi would never stoop so low :p

I've recently bought spindle printable 4X DVD-R Verbatims as well as jewel case full-face printables and they're both MCC. The "anti-scratch surface" spindled might be CMC, but I've never heard of verbatim using ritek.. sounds like a fake job.

Ritek G03 is 2x max. - no reason to be disappointed.
