LiquidusX posted this site on the PS2 backup forum, so I figured it'd be useful to some of you guys here. http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm Apparently the media (Verbatim DVD-r) I use wasn't bad at all, and my GC laser was just funky.
I've never actually seen Ritek sold in major retail outlets. That's why I figured it be nice for people to know what other kinds of media are top quality so they aren't restricted to ordering off the Internet.
