TDK Double Layer DVD+R 25 Pack Discs with 8.5 GB of Data, 8x Recording Speed, and 4 Hours of Video in Cakebox

Over the years, I've become increasingly frustrated by the poor quality of blank DVDs. Many of the finished products were defective, and they skipped or froze. I've never had a problem like this with TDK before. The print quality is fantastic!.

They burned faster and were of comparable quality for about half the price, with a dud ratio of about 1:10. Because I went through so many spindles, I used to buy them in pairs. br>br>However, the rest of the group is correct. The quality has essentially collapsed since the manufacturer switched production outlets. I wasn't convinced at first, so I ordered two more spindles, and I should have known they were correct from the start. For a more affordable look, the label, spindle pack, and disk decals were changed, and the product's performance suffered even more. br>br>The disks are pathetic, despite the fact that I have yet to make a coaster. The type of burner/player you had used to be a factor in the layer bridge freeze. For example, I've never had a problem with a layer bridge. Since then, it's happened on every single disk I've burned. Surprisingly, if you try to fast-forward OVER the bridge on my player (a Sony), it freezes even more. br>br>These disks used to be great, but they've changed their manufacturing methods and locations, and now they're just a waste of time. Unfortunately, you'll almost certainly have to do what I'm doing, which is paying more for the more reliable but slower Sony and Verbatim DL disks. Neither of those two brands has ever given me any problems.

I hoped the quality would improve after reading the reviews. Not true. I needed these DVDs to back up a few of my DVD collections. There are nine films that are entirely original. Before starting the burns, I copied DVD images to a hard drive. At 4x speed, five blanks were required to produce two burns with no errors. Even with the expectation of some failure, the high failure rate was disappointing.

I was astounded by how many discs in this spindle were defective, so I put them through their paces on several machines to rule out any potential problems with my setup.

I thought these would be a good deal, but after wasting a few discs before figuring out that I can only burn these at 4x on a Mac, I'll stick with another brand. At 6x and 2, I'm attempting to burn. On a Mac, 4x causes severe burns, but it appears to work fine on Windows. Burning went much more smoothly on a desktop PC, and 4x works just as well as 2x. 4x. br>br>I bought these because they were reasonably priced and I thought they would be an improvement over Memorex discs. When burn after burn failed on a brand-new iMac, I was taken aback. As a result, I attempted to burn them at the slowest speed possible. 4x speed helped to finish the burn in some cases, but it still warned me that there were errors during the burn. Other times, no matter what, burns will completely fail. br>br>Fortunately, I've had no issues burning these at the cautious 2 level on my desktop PC. 4x speed. They also burn well at 4x, which is the speed at which I prefer to burn because it has worked with everything else I've tried. br>br>While accounting for the finicky nature of the cheaper discs, Memorex discs are a better value for the price-conscious buyer. However, a few bad burns on these can quickly drive up the cost per working disc, making Verbatim discs a better choice. If you're burning any of these on a laptop or a Mac, better quality discs aren't that much more expensive.

I simply copied a video with a rating of 7. 5 GB. It's extremely effective. br>.

This set of discs is satisfactory. The issue is the large number of discs that are defective. Every pack of blank dvds I've seen has a few defective ones, but these appear to have a higher rate of defects than the average. One strange thing has happened in the past: after I finish recording on my DVD burner, it will play once with my Power DVD software, but then it will no longer play on the computer or in a DVD player. But, so far, I've had more good ones than bad, so I suppose it's worth getting for the price; just make sure you don't overpay if you do.

This is the first time I've ever used dual-layer DVDs. Before I realized I needed to update the firmware on my DVD burner, I had a few coasters. Depending on the model of burner you have, this can be simple or difficult, but from what I've read, it's a fairly common thing to have to do to get dual layer DVDs to burn properly, especially with older burners like mine. br>br>I had no problems once the firmware was updated. I burned without making any mistakes.
