 Beware lot quality Jan 23, 2006
By C. Epifanio
I work a lot with DVDs, and have observed wide variance in quality, even from the same vendor. I had good luck with Sony when purchased from local stores, but most of the disks in my 100 stack from Amazon exhibit significant popping and stalling, regardless of write speed. Its impossible to say whether Amazon just got a bad lot, or if there was damage during shipping (the stack was rolling around in the box on arrival). My advice is to buy smaller stacks. Bigger stacks are cheaper, but if you get a bad stack, you lose a lot more money.

 Always test compatibility before buying bulk! Aug 30, 2007
By Amozarte
For the last few years I have always bought these DVD+Rs. I've probably bought a dozen spindles and I've never had a problem. Some of the other reviewers have mentioned needing to throw an entire spindle away and I don't recall throwing more than an occasional disc away. Of course, if you've burned discs of any sort you'll know that regardless of brand you're going to produce the occasional "coaster."
That being said, it's important to realise that recordable drives and discs are similar to people in terms of compatibility. By that I mean that one type of disc may be in true love with a certain drive, but absolutely loathe another. Even if you've had great success with a certain brand of discs, you may not have the same success if you change drives.
My sincere recommendation is that you start small. Buy a few single discs or perhaps a ten pack until you're confident that the discs are working well with your drive. Then, you can start buying the 50 and 100 spindles. Sure, you may lose the "bulk discount" for the one or two "test" discs but you're saving yourself from losing an entire spindle of possibly incompatible discs.

 Quality Gone Down Hill Apr 03, 2011
By Ms Maiden
I have been using these now for several years, have burned well over five packages of these 100 disc spindles using an LG SATA drive on my PC.
Only a few were coasters. Decent quality, decent price - until now.
I bought a new 100 pack at a national office supply chain a couple weeks ago. I have bought them there before as well as BJ's but they no longer carry them.
After buring my final disc of the previous pack last night I opened the new one, popped in a disc and the trouble began.
Disc after disc failed to burn. I tried burning discs from the middle as well as bottom of the stack.
I tried different software (Ashampoo etc) still didnt work. At the suggestion of another reviewer here I installed DVD Identifier and sure enough, while the old discs say manufactured by SONY, these new ones say RITEK. Even though the package shrink wrap says MADE IN TAIWAN (which I look for as opposed to MAYLAYSIA) they are RITEK junk.
They will work in my stand alone Sony DVD Direct but Im throwing them out.
Guess it's back to Verbatim which by the way ARE burning just fine. They are an older pack, hope they havent changed the quality on those too.
Im sorry that Sony had to go this route

Best blanks short of Taiyo Dec 31, 2006
By simlife
Taiyo Yuden media blanks are considered the best - I think Sony makes the second best. You can't go wrong with these. I've gone through 2 100-disk spindles so far and haven't had a single dud.

99% perfect Oct 18, 2010
By Andrew M. Moursund
"Andy Moursund"
Since I got the Turner Classic Movies bug a little over a year ago, I've recorded about 1200 movies, using about 600 or 700 Sony DVD+R disks. I have an old fashioned conventional DVD recorder and record in the SP (2 hour), LP (4 hour) and EP (6 hour) modes.
To date, I've have no more than 3 or 4 bad disks, about 1 out of every 200, and both the sound and the picture quality are identical to the original movies as seen on TCM. I couldn't recommend this product more highly, at least for building up a library of classic movies.
