I've heard that Ritek's are Ritek's, but I don't understand why the price difference in these?

The difference I'm looking for is the difference between the two 25 packs...

Ritek/RiDATA DVD-R 4.7GB, 4X, $1.10 ea., 25-Pack
Code: 1633-25
Price: $27.50

Ritek DVD-R 4.7GB, 4X, Printable, $1.30 ea., 25-Pack
Code: 1618-25
Price: $32.50

Is the only difference the top of the disk???

If that's the case, I'll order the ones for 27.50...., just wanting to make sure I get the right kind :)

Thanks

Yup, one set of discs are Ink Jet printable and the others are just the silver/frosted top. Other than that they are the exact same discs.

Thanks Jesterrace.

Oh, one more question if anyone else reads this.. I've tried burning with 2 separate types of DVD+R's (TDK and FujiFilm). With both of the DVD+R's, I tried to burn a DVD movie, and with both brands, I got an error saying it couldn't finalize the disk. Couldn't write the lead out of the disc at once, or couldn't finalize disk at once. Well, I burnt the same files onto a cheapo Khypermedia DVD-r and it worked fine. My drive is a dual format and says it will burn DVD+R's fine, it even didn't work with the disk that was sent with my drive. Any ideas???

Sorry, forgot to include that...

It's a TDK 840G.
