RiDATA 8.5GB 2.4X DVD+R DL White Inkjet Printable 25 Packs Spindle Dual Layer Disc Model DRD+85-RDIW-CB25

Pros: I bought 100 of these and have had no quality control problems-If you research layer breaks you will see ALOT of commercial DVD players have an issue. The burn/image process is CRITICAL. Slysoft CloneDVD is the most idiot proof method.DVD Decryptor(ISO mode usually preserves it) and Nero mangle the layer break and alot of players lose tracking at this point.

Cons: If you want to be more technical use ImgBurn with PGCEdit (google these for instructions) You can then MANUALLY set your layer break. I am using a new LG LDA-511 with HDMI and Upconvert for 720 and 1080 HDTV output from DVDs. It works flawlessly.

Overall Review: I had a Toshiba before and I THOUGHT I was making coasters, but it was the player that just didn't like back-ups. I have a standard Pioneer as well that works fine. Some NEW discs have layer 1 SMALLER than layer 2-effective copy protection since WINDOWS see this as big error and moves the break.

Pros: works fine using TSSTcorp IDE ATA DVD burner

Cons: unable to burn with $40 ASUS SATA DVD burner.

Overall Review: nice price & prints look kewl~ the only coasters i've made were from the ASUS burner i stoped using.

Pros: None

Cons: Only made coasters with this media. I bought 2 pks b/c it seemed like a great deal at the time. Both of them were faulty. I thought the only difference between these and the regular DVD+R DLs was the inkjet printable compatibility b/c with the regular RiData DVD+R DLs, I got no coasters. Used an NEC ND-3540A (Mad Dog). When playback gets to the 2nd layer, both my computer's video player and three different set-top players froze.

Overall Review: Go with the regular DLs, not the inkjets.

Pros: decent price

Cons: not as good as the verbatum DL media i have used, I was 10 for 10 with NEC 3520. 4 out out of 25 were coasters for the RiData DL

Pros: Only one coaster out of 25 pack

Cons: One coaster

Overall Review: I'm finding that most coasters are made due to certain burners not liking some brands of discs. Find a disc that works great with your burner and stick to them.

Pros: About one in every 5 will fail at writing.

Cons: I had 5 just refuse to burn anything.

Overall Review: I got them cheap. So i can't complain really however a failure rate of 20% is kinda high... Oh well Microsoft has a 33.5 % on Red Rings so RiDate has a bit of catching up to do!

Pros: works as expected I like the ability just to print right onto the disc

Cons: none thus far

Pros: Hopefully work in new drive im getting.

Cons: Would not world at all in my Sony DRU-810A. It made me order an LG drive and hope it works better. Probably should have went with a more trusted name, but maybe i can get lucky on the new drive.

Overall Review: It was worth it to try these out instead of buying the ones that cost twice as much. Those may have failed in my sony as well. At least this way ill know ahead of time.
