Hi gang,

Does anyone know the difference between the Meritline and Ritek double sided blanks. Are they the same or is the Ritek better?

Thank Guys

John

Anyone have an opinion on this?

Thank You

John

I haven't used the MERITLINE disks but I have the RITEK which I bought from MERITLINE. Worked well on my SONY DRU-500A. Use XPRESS to back up movies that fit on one disk easily ( under 180 minutes ) and then use DVDXCOPY to put the extras on the back side.

I have used the meritline double sided blanks. They worked fine for me, with one exception. On one of the blanks there was a blemish on the recording surface. I didn't catch it until I burned the movie and it started hanging up. Aside from that one problem they seem to be working just fine. i am using a Toshiba SDR 5002.

Don't for get no lables get a very very small marker and write on the edges.and get a good pair of glasses to read.

Thanks for the info guys, Since their is almost no difference in the price (and they are back in stock) I am going to order the Ritek. I already got my dvd hub labels. So I don't have to go the marker route.

Just got my 9.4 GB Ritek's and my pioneer A05 only recognizes them as 1x :(

I am running the latest firmware for the drive also. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

John
