Okay. All you freaky people who are state side and are just itching for some dual layer media to mess around with but don’ want to blow & to 10 bucks a disk…then here ya go…
CompUSA is offering a 3 pack of Memorex 2.4x +R dual layer discks for $9.99…alright so that not cheap but by dual layer standards it ain’t to bad.
Link to CompUSA
This disks appear to be RitekD01 (according to videohelp.com)
If you have a Staples near by…you can print that web page out and go there and get them to price match it. Staples currently sells this item for $29.99 so with a 110% pricematch - your final cost is $7.99 a 3pack.
Not shabby for dual layer…easy pricematch too…just did it tonight, no problem.

Good deal, but my burner hates these disks. Good luck using them. I’ll stick with Verbatim DVDs.

Tell me about it. IMHO the Ritek D/L media has recieved so many mixed reviews that unless they were 30 cents a peice I wouldn’t bother with them. I will pay the extra money to save the headache, not to mention the ability to burn them at 6x vs. 2.4x. As for $10 a pop, I realize you were exaggerating but you can get a 3 pack of Verbatim D/L DVD+R discs for $20 shipped from www.newegg.com. That is still significantly more than the Memorex (Ritek) discs but as mentioned above, you get what you pay for.

Well now that I have looked through the different posts…
It seems that using my NEC with Liggy_Dees firmware is probably my best bet. I’ll try to post a quality scan this evening.

Yup, that combo seems to really be the only one that really gets along well with the Ritek D/L media.

Staples only price match the competators, they only guarantee 110% price match if it is an office supply store. Since CompUSA is not an office supply, they will only price match it, so it is still $9.99. So dont bother to go to Staples for 110% price guaranteed.

Hmmm… that’s interesting…they gave me a 110% pricematch…
Can’t find any mention of that in their policy either…

I bought a pack today at Staples on a price match. The ones I got are Riteks.
My Plextor 716A burned one at 4x, and here is the scan. It’s not as good as I get on the Verbatims, but plenty good enough for a movie.
