Ridata works just as good... made 50 backups with RiData +DL with no coasters.

I don't pay for disks not burnt properly.
If they are burnt and then working, they would not detoriate would they? IE, so the only difference in DVD brands is the failure rate of burning?

Dyes do deteriate over time. The same generation of dye can have different batches, where one deteriorates faster than another. If you download a program called CDspeed you can run a Disc Quality test on your burned media. Preferable if you use a Lite-on DVD drive(one of the best readers).

Even though the Xbox360 might be working fine with the games, you might want to run a Disc Quality test on a few of your games every 6 months or so to see how they are holding up. If they are getting pretty bad, then might be time to reburn them.

Verbatim +DL is known to be the best and is the only one that burns pretty good quality DL Movies. I've noticed that DVD Players reading movies tend to be a lot more picky. When the computer is just reading the data then it is fairly fast and there are few problems, generally only when there is a huge scratch or something. I figure the Xbox360 is just reading data off the DVD so it probably isn't as picky as a DVD Player. So most likely you can just go with any DL. Just be sure to check a couple every 6 months to test their deterioration rate.

Edit: Forgot to say that bad media/errors will make your laser work extra hard. PS2s had the problem with dying lasers, and if you used a lot of crappy media you could end up killing your laser prematurely.

Ganjaman, u are lucky!
Ive just coastered 5 ridata's.  None of them can be read on my 360.  I tried with all different burn speeds, clone cd, nero, no luck.
I'm going to try some verbatims today.  smile.gif

You are obviously doing something wrong.  I have dozens of Riteks, no coasters.
Dont blame the media.


Greenhouse, you are correct, ive seen allot of users having success with ridata.
Can you check my post below and offer any suggestions as I am now also having trouble with verbatims:
