I have been using Ritek G05 full face printable - R X8 DVD'S for a while with no problem at all, however out of the latest batch i have bought the first 6 i have used have all failed at exactly 96%. Some of the discs were taken from the middle of the pack. Part of the error message that appears after the fail says something about " unrecognizable format ". I have burnt 2 of exactly the same disc obtained from a friend with no problem at all since. I am using a Pioneer 108. I am not too advanced on a p.c. but i think it is probably a bad batch of discs, could i be wrong. Thank you.

You could be right. Try using another brand media, or buy from a different batch :)

buy sony, maxell, memorex, benq. Brands like these. they usually are good in price and in quality. try to stay away from no-name discs as they can result in damaged burns as well as damaging your DVD burner! Remember one who saves on a purchase, pays twice!

Cheers. I think in future i'll just buy packs of 25 then i'll get less waste if it happens again. I emailed Ritek with details. They said they simulated burns and that they were ok and advised me to update my firmware but i still think it was a bad batch.
