Gets finicky above 6x. Have had 3 coasters this morning and have had a total of 5-6 coasters out of the pack of 50 and I've only used 25 so far. Have it on 4x this time because a burn at 6x sucked. Have had better luck with my brothers Imation with Daxon media. This Ricoh is the first time I've encountered it and I'm not impressed. Using Nero 6.6.

Good enough. Ignore Madkoifish's comments. The media do use a Ricoh dye. But they are manufactured by Ritek which is shown with the serial number (the inner most number is consistent with all Ritek media). So no, the media isnt made in japan, its made in Taiwan by Ritek for Ricoh.
My Maxell branded ones are better, but these are good enough for me!

Got these as a replacement (for a batch of bad memorex DVD-R CMC MAG AE3) straight from memorex. These are RICOHJPNR03 media code. Burns and reads well on all my DVD-Burners and players. If you have a bad batch of DVD's from Memorex call them up complain about them, they will give you a replacement after a few emails and phone calls and a few weeks of mailing time. I feel there DVD-R's are the worst and the DVD+R are so far one the best. I am not sure why Memorex has gotten on board with one of the worst and best for there products, dont they QC these things before they go on the market??? So I would stay away from Memorex DVD-R's and use there DVD+R's which work a hell of a lot better!!! Cheap too only 15 bucks at staples for 50....

Part#: 3202-5621
I was very surprised and satisfied to get this spindle of Memorex media discover that it was RICOHJPNR03 media and not the standard CMC MAG.M01 media that I have been getting. Now unlike most people I have had fantastic results with any of the CMC Magnetics media that I have used I have had far superior results with the Ricoh Japan media I have used (almost 1000 discs from Imation & Ricoh). I nice to know that some of this superion Memorex branded RICOHJPNR0x media is finally making its way into Canada via Futureshop and Best Buy. The only bad part that I have found is that there seems to be no way to tell this from the CMC Magnetics media.

Comments posted by Madkoifish from United States, May 12, 2006:
First off PLEASE read your media codes!!! Most of these reports read like CMC MAG discs. RICOH are the best media for error free burns and are JAPANESE not Taiwanese. Packaging “made in” lists the packaging not the CONTENTS!!!
The biggest issue with all these disc manufactures is they DO NOT list any sort of info pertaining to the media manufacturer inside. Sadly Fuji has now moved from Ricoh to CMC mag crap which means all video dvds burned go to hell on set top players. IE POOR quality of burn, about 30 minor errors per burn at the slowest speeds IE 2X or 4X depending on media.
NOW back to the Memorex. To tell if what you bought is a Ricoh look at the inner spindle you will see BLACK text on the innermost section of the disc as well as a code on the innermost of the chrome area. If there is laser etched (whitish burns) or white printed text in the middle those are the crappy CMC MAGs and will not burn above 12X and at 12X burn quality is utter rubbish. Only good for data backup and temp storage, if your lucky. Other than these visuals there is NO differentiation of packaging UPC etc are all the same on the cases. SO far Best Buy and Target are the only locales with these left. Staples Frys and other shops are all the CMC MAG junk.
Good luck to those out there because Ricoh are getting harder and harder to find!
Another tip for quality checks USE an old dvd player. My old Sony 7700 fails many discs that newer units will not. IE it sees errors more readily which means higher quality of burn, and in the end means better cleaner picture with minimal error correction artifacts.

Six coasters in a row. Not one burn has worked. Media was burned at 16x 12x 8x and 4x. None of the six discs worked. A seventh dvd was burned as data for computer files storage and worked great. I can only comment on the discs in combination with my computer equipment. These discs DO NOT WORK for burning movies using a SONY DRU-810A burner and a Playstation 2.
