Best dvd media... Ritek, Memorex or other?

Just as a tidbit, the ricoh +R's are manufactured at Ritek's factories under the Quality Control of the Ricoh folks.

Dvd-r/rw questions

a) I think all those models are top quality so it depends on personal preferences b) A 1X burner takes 60 minutes to burn a full DVD. An 8x burner will take 7.5 minutes. Plus, you gotta add a minute or 2 for the open and closing sessions. -Shmorq

5 pack of Ritek G04 DVD-R's for $5.99, Microcenter

2 weeks ago when they had this deal, I got the G03's in Long Island. Maybe it's re-stocked and I'll get the G04's. -Shmorq

DVD Media question

The Memorex 4x DVD+R is made by Ricoh which is one of the best. I've bought some from Office Depot on past deals and have no problems burning them and playing them on my Pioneer 434 standalone player. And just as a little tidbit, from what I've been reading, the Memorex 4X DVD-R isn't of...

Wireless Keyboard and Mice with KVM Switch

I use a Logitech Wireless Duo with my IOGear KVM switch and everything works perfectly. The only thing I can't do is monitor the battery life. I don't know what your problem can be, but wireless devices can be used with a KVM switch.

Pioneer a06 or Sony DRU-510ak????

My Pioneer DVR-106 rips at 2x which I believe all burners do because of legal reasons. From what I hear though, there are hacked firmware that will allow you to rip much faster. But like Todd33 said, just get a separate DVD-ROM for ripping.

NEC 1300A vs Pioneer DVR-106.. which is the better dvd burner?

I have the Pioneer DVR106 and I've had no problems burning to the edges on Memorex (Ricoh) +R medias and Ritek -R medias and they all play fine on my DVD player. I believe that when the DVD can't be read past 4GB, it's more a function of crappy media rather than the burner. -Shmorq

DVD+R/RW Media

Amazon also has a deal on the Memorex 4x DVD+R for $29.99 and it qualifies for free shipping. It's the same Ricoh media that FFactory0x linked to.

How long does it take to burn a dvd?

1x = 60 minutes 2x = 30 minutes These are the time minus the lead-in and lead-out burning time which adds a couple of more minutes. -Shmorq [Edit] I thought you were asking about burning a full DVD+/-R. I'm too lazy to do the math to see high much faster a 2x DVD burn is compared to a 2x CD...

Thoughts on my almost finalized new P4 system.

I would go with 2 x 512MB since in the long haul (as you mentioned), you'll need more than 512MB. Plus, you should go with 2 RAM modules to take advantage of the dual channel memory controller. You can go with 2 x 256MB now and upgrade later, but the i875 chipset performs slightly better when...
