hi everyone.

i've always used ridata dvds because i've never had any problems with them
and scans were always good.

but i haven't burned anything for quite a while and didn't know about the bad
quality the g05s were and bought another 50pk of ritek to find out they were
g05s.

initially, my firmware was the first released us01 and did not like these dvds
at all. i updated my firmware to the latest us0s and it did not like it, either.
i crossflashed to the vs0j (i think it is) 832s and was able to burn a readable
dvd -- but the pi/po scan barely changed, if it did at all. so now i was able
to burn readable, but badly burned, dvds.

i tried different speeds, reset rlm and am now trying different writing
strategies. it seemed that people were getting very good results with g06
strat, but.. well, i got barely better than default strat. i've tried MXLRG03
and produced a dvd that wasn't readable.

i'm currently testing TTG02 as i've seen someone else who had a good
experience with it.

i was wondering what else i should try that was good for a RitekG05 8x?
i've already wasted more than 10 dvds and i'm no longer willing to waste
anymore trying things and want to minimize losses now.

any suggestions?
if anything, here are my first burns and tests:
