Reviews around pack (3.61 of 5)

  • Quite simply the WORST pack of blank dvds I've ever purchased- of the 100, not one did't skip - or worse yet,the film burned on each and every one had to be thrown out....a complete waste of $$$
  • I have a laptop, the dvd in the laptop died and will not read a disk.strike two: while readying the pack for return, the spindle broke from the base, and scattered the disks across the floor for distance
  • The spindle pack is not well constructed and will fall apart if not handled carefully.
  • I've burned none of the disks as of this writing, but how bad can they be

Reviews around amazon (3.49 of 5)

  • Not Amazon's fault, but...be careful when buying these in bulk
  • Amazon should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a clearly defective product that in no way functions as it is advertised to

Reviews around brand (3.41 of 5)

  • The quality of video is the same as with more expensive brands of DVDs.

  • Can't burn to them at all, so it's back to more expensive brands from now on
  • These DVD's work fine and seem to be just a good as other brands I've tried.

Reviews around dvd (3.07 of 5)

  • I have had no problem using these DVDS on my home computer when I want to burn a DVD from a disc image
  • You get 100 DVDs, most of them will work and they burn just as well as any other DVD I've used.
  • Blank DVD's should work in any type of DVD writer, at their rated recording speed, but in reality they don't.
  • If you have a DVD burner which will only burn at 4X or 8X speed, then that's all you're going to get out of these blank DVD's.

Reviews around datum (2.54 of 5)

  • They play just beautifully even in my mother's 6 year old DVD player, make great data backups, just all around top notch
  • I'm down to the last ten discs on the spindle and haven't had one problem burning any of them!Those who report multiple burning errors might be attempting to burn the discs at too high a speed - or have not enough RAM to allow for a smooth and uninterupted data stream
  • Control room temps carefully and recommended data be transferred immediately
  • The DVDs have a good life to them as well, after a year the discs still work perfect as if I had burned the data onto them yesterday
