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.

Excellent.......2007-12-25
My friends and I have our own small production studio and we've literally gone through hundreds of these. Out of all of them, only one "coaster". That's a heck of a good track record.
not TDK.......2007-12-06
These are only TDK branded, made by Daxon. Media code Daxon AZ3. Those expecting TDK quality, prepare to be let down. I've had better luck with HP and CompUSA branded media.
Reliable.......2007-11-22
Delivered on time. A huge amount of discs for my backups. It really worked at 16x. It only takes less than 6 minutes to burn a full capacity DVD
Worked every time, good playback.......2007-11-12
Maybe I just got lucky - I'm not sure why these got such bad reviews. I am on my second spindle of these and I have yet to have a bad DVD. Great, especially for the price!
TDK is AOK!.......2007-11-02
The requirements for my use are basic. I've been using TDK DVD's (and CD's for that matter) for several years. I've screwed some of 'em up but I've never had a defect. Cant ask for more than that! (Well, I probably could but I wouldn't get it...)
Product Description
TDK 4.7GB DVD-R media offers the widest compatibility with computer drives and home DVD players. Ideal for general purpose recording, a single TDK DVD-R has ample capacity for thousands of digital photos, up to 6 hours of video data files. Each DVD-R disc can be fully recorded once. TDK metallic alloys change between crystalline and amorphous states in response to the heat generated by a laser for phase-change recording. The differences in reflectivity exhibited by the alloy in its crystalline and amorphous states are read as data. TDK alloys are designed for the most precise laser response, resulting in perfect data marks and superior recording and playback performance.
Customer Reviews:
all right by me !!!.......2007-12-18
TDK makes a very reliable blank DVD-R that can handle up to 4.7 GB of data including up to 120 minutes of video with or without sound. Moreover, these blank DVD-Rs are capable of recording data at speeds up to 16x. These are very useful blank discs to record video. Great!
The DVD-R discs are compact and easy to store and easy to copy to another blank DVD-R if you need to do that. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your burn data onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your DVD-Rs that have data stored on them. Don't store these discs, burnt or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose data over time.
There are two caveats about any brand of this product: when you burn the data onto the blank DVD-R, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than 16x. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra minute or two (tops) that you wait to get your DVD-R completed is worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink can seep through the top coating of the DVD-R disc and slowly but surely compromise your data--and you wouldn't want that, now would you? If you need to label the discs, label its' jewel case using a post-it note.
Overall, TDK blank DVD-R discs store data reliably over long periods of time. I believe that an extra minute to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it in the event that it doesn't actually burn at 16x.
Nice to have.......2007-10-19
Very good brand, I've tried Maxell and half of the package didn't work. Amazon does have quick shipping (free) to FPO address.
3 spool a year habit.......2007-10-11
While I'm not an expert on writable media, I've certainly used a lot of it over the past 10 years or so. In the past, particularly in my college days, I bought as much as i could while spending as little as possible. Over the years, i have found this to be a short-sighted strategy for backing up my important files. Many brands are not very reliable over long periods of time. I've also moved many times and my disks have suffered some abuse int he process.
In my more mature years, i decided to stop wasting money on cheap disks that often resulted in burn errors and easily scratched disks and find a brand to which I could be loyal. So far, TDK has been my brand. I have been through 3 spools of 50-dvd for this DVD-r type in the past year and have gotten great results with these disks. These disks seemed to have more substance (i.e, weight / thickness) to them than some of the flimsier generic brands often found online. The price is fairly comparable to many of the other brands of the same quantity and seems to yield more consistantly successful burning and more durable results.
Won't burn at 16x--or 8x--or 4x..........2007-09-08
I have a Plextor DVD writer which never has any trouble writing to generic store-bought DVD-R or DVD+R blanks at the fastest-rated speed--yet these from TDK won't burn at any speed above 2x. Attempts with a higher rate result in erratic failure (sometimes at 20%, or 10%; or sometimes at 99%!). More than half a dozen wasted blanks later I'd ruled out all other factors; disappointing for a well-touted brand like TDK but they *ARE* cheap blanks. btw the media/manufacturer ID is TTH02
Not One Coaster in the Entire Pack.......2007-07-23
For how little this spindle costs, I'm both surprised and delighted to report every single disc was written successfully. Used in an LG DVD burner and a Panasonic ES15 DVD Player/Recorder, there was no problem writing, reading, or closing any of the discs. Unless you specifically need +R for adjusting the book type field, this is a great value.

Perfect.......2007-12-07
This is the best price for how many you get we could find and the shipping was super quick!
Great Amazon Experience!.......2007-11-25
Paid about what I would have paid at the store. Minus Sales Tax of course. Ordered a book I had been looking for and got free shipping. Did not have to go to two stores (or more) shopping for the best deals. Saved the gas and the time.
Thanks Amazon!!
The Best Made.......2007-07-02
I record 10-15 videos per week, this is the only brand I can always count on.
CHEAP-JUNK.......2007-06-13
I CAN COPY VIDEOS ON THEM BUT, NOT FROM THEM...
Good.......2006-11-08
These TDK DVDs are always on sale (around $9 to $12), so the price enticed me to purchase and try them out.
I have an 8x DVD burner, so I was surprised when these TDK DVD+Rs burned at a maximum of only 4x, which is considerably slower. I've checked with an expert, and they've told me it's about the compatibility of the DVD media with the DVD drive being used. So obviously the TDK DVDs aren't compatible with all drives, and you may end up burning a disc at slow speeds like me. The surface of the discs have a grey color to it, which I like very much. Markers used to write on it really stand out, especially colored ones.
I have had no other problems with these discs. Everything I have burned onto them turned out great, with no errors or skipping of any kind. If it weren't for the slow burning speed, I would absolutely be a lifelong TDK user. Let's hope they produce better versions soon!
