Amazon.com Product Description
Ridata DVD+RW media is known for excellent performance and stable, reliable data writing. This spindle features 50 DVD+RW rewriteable discs that are compatible with 4x speed recordings. Designed for personal or professional use, Ridata's DVD+RW discs utilize a high-performance phase change material which is ideal for mass storage and long archival life. Each disc holds up to 4.7 GB of data--which can store up to 120 minutes of high-quality video, or your collection of high-resolution photos or digital audio files. What is DVD+R/RW?
DVD+R/RW is an erasable format based on CD-RW technology that became available in late 2001. It is supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha, and others, though it is not supported by the DVD Forum. DVD+RW drives read DVD-ROMs and CDs, and usually read DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, but do not read or write DVD-RAM discs. DVD+RW drives also write CD-Rs and CD-RWs. The DVD+RW format uses phase-change media with a high-frequency wobbled groove that allows it to eliminate linking sectors. This, plus the option of no defect management, allows DVD+RW discs to be written in a way that is compatible with many existing DVD readers. DVD+R/RW discs hold 4.7 gigabytes (GB) per side and are readable in many existing DVD-Video players and DVD-ROM drives. About the Company

 50 pack just as good as 25 pack June 10, 2008
amazon customer (CA)
I had used up 2 25-packs of Ridata +RW's with no problem, and then I bought a 50-pack in Oct '06, despite some negative reviews. I just used up the last of that pack and ordered another 50-pack from Amazon. I'm happy to report that all discs of the first 50-pack were trouble-free (for Liteon and Philips recorders), and so far the first few discs of the second batch as well. I should add that I'm no connoiseur of DVD recording and can't comment on the recording quality of these discs, but for recording off of TV and VHS, they serve my purpose just fine.

I just purchased the 25-pack spindle of this disc from Amazon. I had read the negative reviews here stating numerous problems/errors with them. Since there was a rebate involved, I wanted to verify the quality of the discs before I mailed off the UPC (and thereby nullify the possibility of returning them).
Using Nero on my Benq DW1620 drive, I ran a full-disc test burn w/verify at 4X on all 25 discs. Each and every one of them verified successfully.
BTW, here are some of the specifics of the discs that I received, as reported by Nero CD Speed:Manufacturer: Ricoh
Code: RICOHJPN W11Remember that not all drives, nor all media, are created equal. They don't always work well together. CD-R/RW had this same problem earlier on, but improved over time. It just so happens that Ritek/Ridata is a recommended brand of media for my drive.
A quick web search should provide CD/DVD resources that can help pair your drive with a brand of media that has given good results. Manufacturers, too, sometimes list media that has been tested and "approved" for use with their drive(s).
Almost 75 perfect disks December 18, 2004

I've almost finished burning my 3rd 25-pack spindle of these with no problems. I burned them using my Akai DVDRW120 stand-alone burning deck & my Plextor burner on my computer. I see the 25-pack has been discontinued! Why is it every time I'm happy with a product they stop carrying it? I just ordered the 50-pack spindle instead.
Update- Jan. 24, 2005
Only about half of the first dozen or so of the 50-pack spindle worked... & then just barely with many of the working discs skipping or locking up on parts. Not 1 of the rest of the spindle worked. They wouldn't even format! "Invalid Disk" error messages on most blank discs. These problems were observed on both my computer & my stand alone burner. About the 15th from the bottom I found 1 with a deep gouge & several deep scatches in it, but the rest looked spotless.
I've also used up almost half of their 25-packs of DVD+R, DVD-R, & their DVD-RW with no problems on my computer, but my stand-alone burner will only burn on DVD+R & DVD+RW.
There's definitlely something wrong with their 50-packs folks. They may be bad batches or they're too fragile to be packed on a 50-pack spindle & withstand the ruthless banging around of shipping. I noticed the 100 pack got 1 good review out of only 1 review. I'll wait to see more reviews on it. In the meantime, I did notice they're carrying the 25 pack spindles again... I'll stick with those.
Very pleased! September 29, 2004

I was worried by the bad experience others had with this media. Mine shipped from KY and the first thing I did was visually inspect the media to see if there were any obvious flaws. All was well on this front.
The media code is RICOHJPNW11. I've burnt four DVD+RW's from this spindle in a NEC 2500A and Benq 800 drive. Verification was perfect. Nice to have 4x media after using 1x DVD-Rw Optodisc media (which redefines the meeting of unreliable!). My hard drive backups have now become a whole lot easier!
Do check your spindles when they arrive given other peoples experiences - Amazon has a good return policy.
I highly recommend these!
