If you use a programme called dvd identifier you can fin out who the actually manufacturer is of the disc.Some maxell discs i bought in asda(walmart) were very good and they were identified as japan ricoh ,but cheaper maxell discs were made by ritek

There seems to be many disc manufacturers now coming onto the market that its difficult to know what your buying.
My mate uses the Tuff Discs, ....he never has a problem with those....but he cant seem to find any you can actually print on with a printer....!....still you cant have everything.

I always use VERBATIM as I found them the most reliable. Some discs that I burnt around 12 months ago ( Ritek) have deteriated so much that they are now unplayable. Apparently it's all to do with the dye used . Unfortunatley there are many 'fakes' on the market which are sub standrd and it's almost impossible to tell from the real thing, until that is you start burbing them.

I have 3 DVD playes, a Philips DVD recorder, a Sony DVD player and a Warfedale DVD player all 3 play both +R and -R.

I recomend joining one of the video forums and see the number of Q&A's asked regarding the problem of " which disc is best.."
