Fujifilm Media 25303100 DVD+R 4.7 GB 120 Minutes 16X Storage Media - 100 Pack Spindle Review

i've gone through my 100 pack spindle and not a single coaster. i find for the best results on any burn [CDR or DVDR] is to burn at slow speeds. sure it takes longer , but it's done right. no unreadable DVD's. i burned mine at 8x without any problems.

Ridata 1.46 GB 4x Mini DVD-R Cake Box (25 Discs) Review

These discs seem to be in every way just as good as the ones in Walmart that you would pay 3 for $12.00 for. If you dont mind buying on-line, and you have the time to wait for shipping, this is definately the way to go...PERIOD!

Sony DVP-FX930/R 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Red Review

We had an old Insignia product that was not working well which we have since revived and a two hour road trip to Cape Cod. Therefore, I decided to look at what Amazon had to offer. After reading the reviews of many current and previous owners, this is the DVD player I chose to purchase. We have only used it twice thus far going to and from the Cape, however I have to say that the sound is superior as is the picture. My child in the third row of our minivan could both see and hear the movie from the console it was resting on between the front seats of the car. The swivel factor is also very helpful to adjust the picture when driving with sun as factor for screen visability. Thus far, I would give this machine an A+. How long it functions remains to be seen as we take great care of our equipment. We have used the Insignia for four years going back and forth to the Cape. Now we have two machines and can make everyone happy! I will say the Sony is far superior to the Insignia.

Both products were delivered incrediably fast. The CD's were here within 2 days and the DVD's within 4 days as I had ordered the product on a Thursday as I remember the CD's were here by Saturday and the DVD's by the following Tuesday. I'll NEVER hesitate to order through your services, TNX, Jerry S.

Verbatim DVD-R 4.7GB 16X Glossy White Inkjet Printable Spindle Review

No problem with the product, but order it instead from B&H or some place else. USPS states that Amazon shipped this product 'bound printed material' rate, first of all it doesn't qualify for that rate, is the very slowest the USPS offers. CS at Amazon said that it was because I choose to use their Super Saver shipping. Okay, it shows it shipped a week ago from a town 75 minutes away from me and I still didn't have it. Amazon, never again.

Memorex DVD+R 16x 4.7GB 50 Pack Spindle Review

Don't bother trying to use these DVDs with a Mac, they won't work. I foolishly bought two spindles of blank Memorex media - CDs and DVDs - and not a single disc in either pack works. It's not my optical drive that's the problem, because other brands of media do work in my machine. So again, if you have a Mac, a Macbook, or a Macbook Pro, don't buy these discs - you'll just be throwing your money away. I've had very good luck with Sony products and will go back to using them exclusively.

Ridata Double Layer 8.5GB DVD+R 2.4X Inkjet Printable in 25 piece cakebox Review

1 out of every 2 discs actually burned successfully. That's 12 or so out of 25 discs and considering some took 30mins or longer to burn, the error rate wasted so much of my time. Definitely would not buy again.

Verbatim 95355 4.7 GB 8X UltraLife Gold Archival Grade DVD-R, 50-Disc Spindle Review

The reason you should be looking at these DVD blanks is to make archival storage discs. Regular DVD's, or really inexpensive ones, are reported to have a very short life after burning - even if you store them properly - even in the one or two year range. It's been reported that these Gold foil DVD blanks will last longer. There is also evidence that says the Taiyo Yuden blanks last a very good long time. The blanks do appear to be tougher than my usual Sony discs, but I didn't do any Brillo pad tests.

I purchased these Verbatim blanks to back up some irreplacable video files, which had been converted from VHS to DVD. What can be said about the 24 I burned, they burned beautifully, were extremely high contrast when you look at the business side of the disc, and play on every single DVD player we've ever thrown at these. There wasn't a single coaster burn in the set (my coaster rate using Sony DVD blanks is around 1 in 100). I've burned maybe 3 or 4,000 DVD's on every imaginable brand of DVD, and these are the sharpest looking burns I have ever seen.

On longevity, well that's almost impossible to comment on today. Verbatim says some incredible number of years. Nobody should ever believe that claim, dyes just cannot last that long. But they should be good until the next storage media arrives.

One sensitive point with DVD blanks is the reflective layer behind the dye layer. Most are aluminum, which if ever exposed to air, will tarnish and lose reflectivity rendering the disc useless (depending of course on the location of that tarnish). These Verbatim discs avoid that problem from ever happening, gold will not tarnish and lose it's reflectivity.

What a person really has to consider when they look at a digital archive strategy, is using multiple back up places. DVD's can fail over time, or become unreadable. I don't subscribe to the format nonsense or scare tactics many like to toss around about incompatible reading formats where drives to read a particular media will cease to exist. A person can still get 5 1/4 inch floppies converted to other formats (8.5 inch discs are almost impossible to convert now), and that size floppy has been gone for well over 10 years now (if you were asleep for 10 years you could still get that data off those floppies). In the case of these irreplaceable movie files, I chose to use these Verbatim discs. Made three copies of each DVD on Taiyo Yuden blanks for day to day viewing (they are lacquer based discs and are so optically flat that you can see all the way to the bottom of a 100 spindle through the center - they are also about 1/4 the price). I saved the Video_TS folders on two separate hard drives, one of which is only turned on to copy to or from for critical backups. And one day I will copy all these files up to a service like Mozy. I will then have 5 separate copies in three different physical locations. Ah most would say overkill, but these are important files. I'm following the exact same strategy for my 25,000 digital images.

These are without question excellent DVD blanks. In my experiece I've never seen a better blank for critical archival work. They are expensive, but they are cheaper on a per gigabyte basis than a hard drive. If they last 1/4 of the 100 years Verbatim claims, I'd be super happy. Just remember, hedge your bets with critical files - put them in multiple places on different media.

TDK16x DVD+R Lightscribe 30 Pack Spindle Review

Lighstcribe labeling is a great way to create beautiful images on your disks using your own photos and text. However, do not purchase this product if you want to see the best quality. I previously used Verbatim DVD media and my images printed very crisp and dark. Using the TDK media I lost a significant amount of contrast. If you want your images to look good, try a different brand.

TDK Electronics DVD-R14RGACB20 8CM Mini DVD-R 20 Pack Review

If you do a lot of home movies with a Mini DVD camcorder, as far as I'm concerned this product is the ONLY way to go to save on the cost of the Mini DVD's from the Big Boxes or even Wal-Mart! A 20 pack, at long record/play that's 20 hours of whatever you're taking on whatever trip you're on! Like the days of VHS, most people will never watch most of it again, but you can! If you have it! And don't forget the Mini DVD cases, also from Amazon and I reviewed the 25 pack of those I bought.
