Don't even try at 16x.......2007-09-15
I bought a 16x compatible spindle, have to burn at 8x or even 4x on 2 different PCs/burners. Next time I will stick with Memorex and TDK.
Always test compatibility before buying bulk!.......2007-08-30
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.
EXCELLENT DISCS.......2007-07-21
I burn roughly 50 DVD's a month for work projects. I've gone through two 100 piece spindles with only one coaster. For playback on home theater DVD players, these have proven the most reliable of any brand out there. I typically burn videos at 4X, but these have worked perfectly at 8X and 16X. If you've found your HP Lighscribe drive a bit finiky with other brands, the Sony's have been 100% in both of mine. I'd put them in my top 3 choices for DVD media along with TDK and HP.
many bad discs.......2007-06-17
I have had skips and stalls on almost all of the dvds in this pack so far. I previously had a 100 pack of memorex and they were great. I wouldn't buy these sony dvd's again
dvd disc.......2007-05-14
DVD machine purchased was not compatible, and the discs were rendered unusable. I opened the spindle bundle and felt I couldn't return the discs.

Works every time!.......2007-12-16
I love this product!
I'm not sure why this has only has a three star rating. I have burned over 150 DVD's in the last few months and haven't had a single Sony brand DVD fail. I have tried the other brands and receive failure rates up to 25% as well as playback issues on burned DVD movies. Now the only DVD-R's I will use are Sony. I use a LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive on Vista Professional.
Inadequate packaging.......2007-12-11
Whether it's Sony's fault for constructing a flimsy case, or Amazon's fault for inadequate wrapping, this product arrived with the case in shards. I put in a replacement order, and its condition upon arrival was worse. I'd hold off ordering this until one or the other or both are corrected.
Made in Taiwan........2007-11-27
I've always bought Sony blank media for my burners. Sony discs are fast, reliable, and made in Japan.....Quality stuff. I Just picked up a 100 pack and noticed on the label that it said made in Taiwan? Did Sony go low rent with their media? Needless to say I'm a little upset. Now anyone who burns media will tell you that Japanese manufactured discs are the way to go. I use to buy Memorex (Memosux) discs, burned fine, after 2 years I started to get data loss on my discs. After reading the forums on afterdawn I found out that cheap media, particularly stuff from China, is manufactured using the substandard dyes and other low quality materials. Basically the discs lose the data that's stored on them over time. DVD's are supposed to last 50 - 100 years, lets say you have the birth of your first child on a DVD disc, wouldn't it suck after a couple of years if the disc lost the data? This is why you buy quality media, Made in Japan stuff.
Now I don't know how Taiwan rates compared to China, but when I see cost cutting I see poor quality. Sony media is reliable, but I've been using the Japanese manufactured discs, these seem to be good but how long they last remains to be seen.
Buyer beware, if your looking for Japanese made media, look elsewhere. Taiyo Yuden discs are supposed to be the best, after I burn through these I guess I'll buy those.
Nothing Unusual .......2007-09-13
Have gone thru several of these spindles for business use. The tyipcal number of bad discs is pretty low...
say 5-10 for each set of 100. The average has been about 5 per 100. Of course reviewing the discs does not take into account the quality of your burner. I also have no idea if Sony makes their own discs or if they purchase from one of the other disc manufacturers... Welcome to the consumer shell game. At any rate, so far so good and the percentage of bad discs is reasonable.
Best DVD-Rs Available.......2007-09-11
I have had a lot of bad experiences with "cheap" DVDs offered as "loss leaders" at places like OfficeMax and Best Buy. Don't go cheap on DVDs. You will regret it.

Sony Write-once DVD+r Discs .......2007-12-19
I have found that the Sony DVD+r Discs have been excellent.
We have had very few problems writing to them, using Liteon or Sony DVD PC writers, in comparison to Memorex and other brands that seem to produce quite a few bad Discs.
I always recommend Sony DVD+r & CD-R to everyone I know.
Been through hundreds no problems yet.......2007-08-22
I spent a lot of time burning movies. From all the brands I have used these are my prefered. I could be mistaken but I am pretty sure some if not all dvd drives have to have + or - dvds. So this is a review for + and the one negative review said none of these dvds were recognized and the - ones did. Probably bought the wrong dvds so I wouldnt blame sony for that. When looking for dvds I look for sonys first. Never had a problem yet.
What's up with this DVD?.......2007-03-26
My friend bought these dvd's so I could burn her wedding video...not ONE of these dvd's were recognized by my Toshiba DVD burner...I use Velocity DVD-R's with no problem...go figure!
terrible, terrible dvds.......2007-03-12
I bought these disks investing money and trust into the sony name, I am sorely dissapointed in this purchase, one out of every 4 or 5 disks actually shows up as a disk to be burned, meaning that while I spent money on a 50 pack, I actually got a 10 or 15 pack. Absolute trash, DO NOT BUY THIS.
i agree, they SUCK!!.......2006-12-03
right now i can't even get my burner to open because one of these dvd's is in it, caused an error while burning... now, stuck. i thought for a few days that my burner was broken, but figured out that it is the sony dvd's... i don't get it either because my dvd burner is also sony, you would think they would be compatible. i am so annoyed that i bought two big stacks of these...

Work on my powerbook..........2005-12-01
These are the only dvd-r's I've been able to get working on my powerbook (1.33Ghz aluminum).
I would love to find some cheaper ones, but these do a pretty reliable job. I'd rate them higher if they weren't so expensive.

Just like Memorex it says 16x but.............2007-02-09
When will I learn to not try these other brands that claim 16x capability just because they're on sale. DVD Identifier even listed 16x as possible but when I actually tried it, you guessed it.....coaster. 4x for stable recording. I mean it this time, it's Verbatim or nothing for me.
