Very dependable and Inexpensive.......2007-12-12
After trying several other DVD Blank media and experiencing unsatisfactory results, I decided to try two other DVD blank media, Memorex and TDK DVD Electronics. I was satisfied with Memorex for a time but found the cost of this blank media had risen considerably..so I switched to TDK DVD blank media to try. After I purchased the TDK Electronics DVD 100 Pack Blank Media Spindle, I have had no problems in the short time I was using this product. If I continue to experience no problems, I will definitely rely on TDK Blank media because I find it dependable and the price is substantially lower than most other DVD blank media which I was buying here at Amazon. If you're like me and want to invest in good quality DVD blank media that meets today's low cost spending, then I suggest TDK Electronics. In any event, Amazon continues to give the customer a variety of great deals and free shipping.
Certain results.......2007-12-11
I enjoy making slideshow DVDs of the digital pictures we take of our travels and sharing them with family and friends. Many were having trouble playing them and I was talking with a very knowledgable friend who sells Video DVD's he makes and he told me he only uses TDK and has little or no complaints, soooo I tried them. They work great... I wouldn't change!!
Lost easily 33% of discs............2007-12-05
I thought that since these were TDK and people seem to rave about them they would be a worthy purchase. Wrong. Think again. From what I can read online of people's reviews of these discs- they either work REALLY well for some people, or REALLY poorly for others. I bought one spindle of these because they were on sale, and figured that it was at a price I just couldn't pass up. I wish I had, in retrospect.
The first five discs I burned? Lost THREE of them. By the time I finished the spindle, I had lost a whopping 35 discs to random burn errors. It always seemed to occur within the same area of the disc, leading me to believe it was more disc error than software/hardware. I could take the TDK disc that failed out and put in another brand and the same data would burn to completion. It always seemed that the discs either failed right at about half way done or right at about 90% done.
I won't be bothering with this poor quality discs again. I've had cheap off brand discs work better than these did.
Tons of defectives.......2007-12-04
I bought this just to back up the data I have on my two external HDs (500 + 400 gig), and I've ran through about 30 burns today. Unfortunately about 8-9 of those have not finalized or have just failed, a porous rate. Avoid if you can.
The Big Fib: Your Amazon Order Has Shipped.......2007-12-03
I have only one ongoing issue with Amazon.com: They lie about when they really ship items.
This has been an issue I've tried to resolve time after time with Amazon. Finally I've accepted that if you choose SuperSaver Shipping (free shipping) then don't expect the items to really ship until several days later. Forget even thinking that they'll ship sooner than 5 days. They will not.
Amazon will tell you they did. But the truth will usually be that Amazon just fibbed to you. Take my last order as an example that is representative of all my Amazon orders over the past three years:
Amazon Emailed me that my order had shipped on 11/29/07.
The freight company (the post office in this case) didn't actually receive the product until 12/2/07--three business days after Amazon reported they'd shipped the order.
Here are two lines of detail from the post office's tracking website about this shipment:
Processed, December 02, 2007, 10:17 am, ATLANTA, GA 30369
Electronic Shipping Info Received, November 29, 2007
I've had almost the same exact thing happen to more than 10 of my most recent orders with Amazon.
Shame on Amazon for lying to us.

Great recording media.......2007-12-12
I have bought this recording media before, and will by it again. I never have any difficulty with it, it doesn't matter if I'm making system backups, or burning old movies recorded from cable, It's always good quality, and if you look around you can find a price that makes it a bargain, too
OMG!.......2007-08-05
I wasn't happy at all with this item because when I tried to burn movies into this blank DVDs, some of them did not work! I completely wasted about 4 blank DVDs. They did not work properly. I would recommend others to use different DVDs.
Excellent Product! .......2006-11-07
I have used over three hundred of these disks, and have only found one flawed. Produces an extremely clear video product.

Customer Reviews:
Time consuming, but great results.......2007-05-11
>>>Your first copy WILL NOT be as dark as you expected.
<
<<
If you're still shopping around > get the Verbatim spindle, as it seems to print much darker on your first try.
If you're stuck with the HP spindle > here is the trick: don't panic if your first copy doesn't look good. The disks have a little ring in the middle that tells the burner exactly where to start/resume burning > this means you can put THE SAME disk in the burner and re-print the image, thus resulting in a much darker print. If you have the time to tinker with it, burn it 2-3 or even 4 times for the results you're looking for.
Trust me > I had the same exact reaction at first, but I love working with lightscribe now.
Problem solved.
*Update* Avoid printing the same image over 3 times. 2-3 times will balance contrast vs. sharpness.
professional and artistic.......2007-03-27
I love LightScribe! The final product is not only professional but artistic and very pleasing if done right. It by far beats the labels which do not look as good and don't play in all systems. They get stuck sometimes. Try LightScribe it is fun to use and rewarding!
agree with J Stern-not a very good copy.......2007-01-17
I made two data dvds and used the HP lightscribe discs. I wasn't very pleased with the outcome either. The pictures were dull and not very clear. To the person who gave it 5 stars don't think I don't know what I was doing..I checked all the color contrast from best to normal, picked what I wanted and the print still came out bad. I will be trying something else because the HP dvds aren't worth the money!
LightScribe ROCKS !!!!!.......2007-01-10
It is obvious the other reviewer does not know what he is talking about. LightScribe provides a professional looking label with enough shades to create some very cool looking labels. If you don't know which fonts to use or how to apply artwork, it can be very challenging to create a good looking label but is definately worth the little extra to buy LightScribe drive and have the option of a LightScribe label. Whats the alternative, a sharpie label? A inkjet self-stick label? Get a life dude and smell the coffee!
Not worth the extra money for Lightscribe.......2007-01-04
It really isn't worth the extra money to pay for Lightscribe CDs. When you do use Lightscribe, it does even look good. It is very faint and the writing is very small. Just use a label instead...

Customer Reviews:
Great deal. Great quality........2007-07-26
I've been totally satisfied with these DVDs. I use them for my upconverting DVD recorder and they work great.
what a waste of money.......2007-05-25
But even more than wasting money, it's the time I'm wasting. The disks appear to write, but my player chokes during finalization. I'm tossing out 1/4 of all disks. Stay away from these disks. If you have any on-hand, make sure you don't erase/delete your original data until the disk is finalized.
These are junk! AVOID!.......2007-05-15
A quarter of these were defective, with dye ripples across one half of the disc. Decent quality control would've caught it, but apparently they have none.
AVOID!
Low cost, high quality DVD blank media.......2007-03-21
We use a lot of DVD disks to record movies off of TV, save photos, etc., so I am always looking for inexpensive disks. The price was very, very competitive, and the disks are of high quality. We have not had any problems recording or playing back after recording to these disks.

Excellent. Works great on a Macbook.......2007-04-20
Other discs have given me trouble on my Macbook but these work well. Though I've not gone through the entire spindle, all the discs burned so far have worked perfectly. I'd highly recommend these discs, especially for the Macbook's drive.
Not very reliable.......2007-04-12
I had to go through five disks in order to write two recovery disks for my PC. At this rate, I might get 20 good disks out of the 50.

Customer Reviews:
Good DVDs Good Price, with the right burner.......2007-05-11
I've burned over 400 of these HP DVDs in the past year and have had fewer than 5 "coasters" out of the lot. All of these came from burning them in a Sony DVD Recorder. I've never had a single bad burn with this brand using the burner in a G5 Mac.
In my experience some DVDs don't work well with some burners. Some brands work well in the Sony and not on the Mac. If the only burner I had were the Sony I'd think these were bad DVDs too, but in the Mac burner they are flawless.
HOWEVER, these HP DVDs ship from TIGERDIRECT and they ruined an entire 50-pack spindle by POOR PACKING. Whoever packed my order made no attempt to put any sort of packing material in the box. Spindles of DVDs were simply placed in a large cardboard box and it was taped shut. One of the spindles broke apart spilling DVDs inside the box scratching them so badly they were unusable. This is potentially a serious problem and possibly a reason to avoid this brand unless you can find another supplier, or unless you're willing to deal with TigerDirect customer service.
Good deal.......2007-03-09
Great product, dependable with few errors if any at all. Nearly half the price on Amazon as at Best Buy.
NO! NO! NO! DON'T BUY THIS * * *.......2006-08-12
I have a DVD/CR duplicator that will burn anything in the world. I bought a 25 spindle of HP DVD+R, a 50 spindle of HP DVD-R & a 100 spindle of HP DVD-R. I started on the 25 pack of DVD+R. All but 3 burned. That means 88% burned OK & 12% didn't. An average should be 96% to 100% that burn good. Then I went onto the 50 spindle of the DVD-R. 7 did not burn right, meaning only a 86% burn rate. Next, I started on the 100 spindle pack. Out of 50 that I burned, 37 did not burn correctly & (that's only a 26% ratio of Good burns) When I looked at some of the ones that didn't burn correctly, you could SEE a visual defect on them that looked like a small finger mark burned into it, except it was on alot of them from 2 different batches. I got an extremely good price on these on sale at Office Max, but I took the remainder of the 100 pack back. They wanted to exchange them for me, but I held my ground, since I had the receipt & got a refund. These are the WORST, WORST, WORST DVDS in the world or at least the worse I've ever come across out of thousands that I've used. I contacted Hewlett Packard online & then on the phone & they said they've had alot of complaints, but they didn't actually make them. Well, DUH! Most companies don't make their own, but they sure slapped their name on them & profited by them. You'll do better to stick to Taiya Yoden or Sony or even Memorex, but forget these guys. And yes, I have the latest equipment & everything is up to date. I've used probably 30 different brands & these are the worst. Buyer Beware!

16x disks work well.......2007-10-01
I ordered 16x disks, and they work fine on Panasonic dvd player recorder. Good quality for price.
Wrong item - Don't order if you need 8x.......2007-04-10
I ordered these 8x disks specifically because my DVD burner only takes up to 8x disks. True to Amazon form, the disks arrived quickly, but they are 16x. This is the second time I've been burned like this. The last time was another Amazon product marked as 4x and it also was 16x. Can't win!
