Excellent Value!

There isn't a whole lot you can say about a particular brand of DVD+R media. If it works and there are no unusual issues one is pretty much the same as another.



That said there are two things that will keep me buying the AmazonBasics DVDs. One is the price....the price is lower than other brands and still a similar price even when the other brands are on sale. Factor in Amazon free shipping and sales tax considerations and their price is excellent.



The other reason I like these is the shipping. The double boxing and packing ensured the media got to me safely.



As far as performance that is driven mostly by your PC hardware and burner. I have used about 30 of these so far to store general data photos video etc. and have not had any issues. I have used some other brands (Sony) where I have run into the occasional bad DVD right out of the box.



I would rate the Amazon Basic DVDs right up there with the Panasonic media which from my experience tends to have no bad DVDs in a batch.

Try these you won't be disappointed!

best DVDs that I have found

I've tried several different brands and these are the best. I've burned over 700 DVDs and no coasters. Memorex is the worst and should be avoided like the plague. Peace.More detail ...

Superior! Superior! Superior!


I have used these Verbatim brand 16X disks in both my DMR-EH50S Panasonic DVD Recorder (recording content from the television to its hard drive and then after editing the content burning it to DVD media) as well as my pc computer's NEC ND-3500AG 16X DVD burner and all I can say is how pleased I have been.



These burn very very fast at 16X and I have not had any failures using them -- absolutely no errors so far!



I have used other popular brands of 16X speed DVD media including Taiyo Yuden Philips Maxell Memorex TDK and while those also have burned very dependably (with a few exceptions) there is one capability I have noticed that the Verbatim brand possesses that those other brands do not. And that is I can squeeze more video and file content onto these Verbatim disks whereas with those other brands I cannot! There is a little more storage space on these! That has made a difference at critical moments in which I needed to fit those extra few megabytes onto the same disk.



I am on my third 25 disk spindle and undoubtedly will opt for the 100 disk spindle when the time comes to replenish my supply.



I have decided that I won't use any of those other brands until either the manufacturing quality of these changes for the worse or they stop making them altogether -- I hope neither happens.



Anyway these are as near to perfection for burning video and files onto as I have been able to find and I recommend them to you heartily!

just as good as canon's

just as good as canon and at a fraction of the price! Thus far no complaints. Highly recommended although as a previous customer noted...thought was purchasing a 5 pack but it came as a 3 pack with the extra tapes put in. No biggy. I would buy it again.More detail ...

I had no problems so far

I too have a Sony RDR-VX500 VCR/DVD Recorder and the formating only took 5-7 min. Another reviewer said that the formatting took over 40 min. This is not normal. Either a disc is defective or the recorder has malfunctioned. I had no problems so far.



There's one thing that customers need to be aware of: That is the difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I didn't think there was a difference so I purchased a package of DVD-RW discs at Wal-mart. I learned the hard way that there is a difference. The DVD recorder will not create a menu on the DVD-RW discs. You can still create titles-but if you are playing the disc on a regular DVD player(I also have a Sony 5 disc DVD player)then playing the DVD-RW Disc is nearly impossiable. So when buying RW discs or R discs-Make sure you see the+sign. Either the DVD+R or the DVD+RW. It's the differnce between a menu or no menu. Just be careful.

The best of the mid-priced recordable DVDs

In a nutshell...



You can pay much bigger bucks for 100% burns every time with no coasters (i.e useless discs for sitting under your tea mug). If you can't afford pro-brand names then this is where you want to be the 50 Pack DVD-R from Sony. If I have a max of 6 bad discs in a 50 pack then that is the limit for bad discs that should be in a 50 pack for me. To be honest the only two mid-priced brands that generally stay under this benchmark are SONY and IMATION but SONY pips IMATION. The downside is that the plastic on the disc is hard to write on but SONY are producing a new type of disc that comes with a paper type top surface for easy writing. Anyway having used nearly every brand out there I can safely say that SONY DVD-R is where I reach on the shelf. Having dealt with other brands that even produced 100% defective DVDs in a 50 pack I am very happy that SONY maintain a somewhat high quality.



DVD-R is best for movies. DVD+R for data. I recommend PLEXTOR burners.More detail ...

Three packs and not one lost

These seem to burn really well. I've gone through three packs now without a single lost DVD. By the way if you have a lightscribe burner and haven't tried the actual label burning yet you've gotta try it. The labels look really good (considering that they're burned on) but the burning of the label can take more than 20 minutes if it's a complex label.



Overall a great product here in these DVDs.

Quality Tapes at An Affordable Price

I use these Mini DV Tapes for my Canon Vixia HV30 camera. I don't re-use the cassettes so I wind up going through a lot of tape and so I'm always looking for a good price. This set was it as buying in the store would have cost a whole lot more.More detail ...

Unsafe at Any Speed

Update January 2008.



As I note in some of the commentary things can change a lot in two years. It's entirely possible that the "same product" that I had such bad experience with two years ago is actually very different today. While I avoid TDK products because they burned me with poor quality users seeking cost-effective and reliable media would probably be better off giving more weight to more recent reviews (which might better reflect whatever they are currently putting in this package) and/or a site that tracks media quality such as http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm (although they don't seem to be updating that one any more) where among many other details you can find that TDK-branded packages have included media actually manufactured by TDK CMC Moser Baer and Philips.



My original review follows. FYI I have no interest in TDK or any other media mfr other than as a user.



------------------------



These disks are not made by TDK (they only make -R type) they are rebranded trash from CMC. I had 15% with obvious naked-eye visible defects (delaminations and voids in the dye layer) and for the "good" ones needed to burn at a sluggish 4X to get a decent quality of burn. Having burned more than 1000 disks using various brands I assure you - these are not a bargain they are garbage. Unless of course you burn at slow speeds and don't ever use the outer 20% of a disk.



UPDATE [late 2006]: I have been re-reviewing the burn quality of the disks that I did use. I am now finding hundreds of thousands of parity errors on every TDK disk (vs a typical 2 to 4 thousand on good disks e.g. Sony). THESE ARE WITHOUT DOUBT THE WORST DVD MEDIA I HAVE EVER USED. ANYONE WHO ENTRUSTS THEIR DATA TO THIS GARBAGE IS DOOMED TO DISASTER IF THEY EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO READ THE DATA IN AS LITTLE AS A YEAR OR TWO.

"Premium" means "average" in non-Sony speak

Don't be fooled "premium" means "average consumer grade" in non-Sony speak. But that being said it's a perfectly fine tape for taping your kids at the local park or a ball game.



The main difference is that consumer tape isn't designed for archival storage so you may experience more drop-outs or tape delaminating as it gets older.More detail ...

Excellent Value

In the past I've found DVDs from different companies may or may not be usable in all my equipment. Sony DVDs were compatible with all my equipment but they can be pricey. I was happy to find that these Amazon DVD were compatible with a wide range of equipment. We've already burned DVDs on an Apple IMac G5 Dell Inspirion 15 Sony DRX-840U DVD burner and Toshiba DR410 DVD player/burner. No compatibility problems. And they are priced less than $19 for a 100 disc spindle! Excellent!



And although Amazon touts their new "Frustration Free - Ready to Ship" packaging I received my package of DVDs in a small neat box marked "Ready for Shipping" INSIDE a huge box labeled C3 that was 19 X 13 X 8. I don't think the warehouses are clear on the concept yet. Although my account page allows Packaging Feedback on products I ordered none of my Amazon Vine products including this one are on the feedback page. But this minor flub did not change my mind or rating for these DVDs they are an excellent product.More detail ...

Sony dvc premium mini dv 60

Sony put so many different labels on these blue covered tapes it's hard to know if you're dealing with the same item. I've been using a lot of these tapes and have had a lot of problems mostly in the VCR mode where the tape just hangs for a few seconds and starts again. I do my editing directly to a DVD recorder and this is very annoying because these stops are transferred to the final product. Sometines the camera stops working and tells me to reinsert the tape. This happens with no other tapes.More detail ...

Works great with a PROPER burner

I have a 16x NEC-3540a. Burns fine at 16x. They should be reliable also considering the 2 year old 4x Memorex DVDRs I have still work perfectly. Though those are 4x but I'll see. For those with problems upgrade... to a good burner (Plextor NEC etc.) Burners are too cheap now to own anything below a 16x.More detail ...

awesome deal

I see a lot of negative reviews here but I've been using these discs for a couple months now with my PowerBook G4's Superdrive and I've had no problems at least none that I would attribute to the discs themselves. One review laments Toast Titanium 7 which in my experience is a very finnicky buggy program. I too had a number of failed burns with that program but I was able to remedy the situation by saving my dvd projects as disc images and then burning them later with disc utility after I had a chance to mount them and check them out. For the price I payed for these discs if I remember right almost half the price of a 25 pack from other companies for a 50 pack from memorex I am very very pleased. If you're looking to play around with dvd burning and I guarantee you you will make a few mistakes and have to throw away a few discs before you get it right this is the best deal you'll find anywhere.More detail ...

Discs are unusable

I have burned 6 DVDs from this batch and *all* of them have a significant amount of errors (even with different speeds). None of the burned DVDs can be played in a regular DVD player without errors hickups etc.



Earlier I used verbatim DVDs with the same burner and with those other batches I never had errors.



I use KProbe to check the quality of the burn and with this batch it's always awful. PI is consistently over 277 (which makes the disc useless).



UPDATE 3/17/2009: I forgot to mention that quickly after the sale I notified the seller and asked them how to return the disks. They responded quickly but I was too busy to actually send the disks back. They refunded my money nevertheless. Excellent service!More detail ...
