most of my backups skip or act a little shaky 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the movie ,and i think thats a media problem if am correct...
i use regular $1.00 white tops...they work real good on my ps2 backups but not my movies backups...
please anyone know the good ones for movie and where can i get then here in the u.s.


thanks

Ritek discs can be found (1x or 2x depending on your burner and firmware) at www.allmediaoutlet.com in a 25 pack for $1.40 a disc (with free fedex ground shipping included in the price) or www.rima.com in a 25 pack for $1.20 a disc+shipping. They also have them in for less per disc if you order in larger quantities. The discs are unbranded silvertops with the dark purple Ritek dye on the bottom. I will second the vote for Ritek dye discs I have used the unbranded silvertops both for movies and for my XBOX backups with absolutely no trouble and for movies they work in even the pickiest DVD players. I hope this helps.

depends on your writer Nest, they all use their own best media. the dvd forum has a sticky on this for pioneers. meritline.com lists media by drive so you know what to use.
