 Great quality media October 12, 2005

I've burned a lot of these discs and haven't had a single problem yet using my Plextor PX-716UF drive. In my experience, these discs have been more reliable than other brands such as Memorex and TDK.
9 months later, still not a single problem.
The best of the mid-priced recordable DVDs March 6, 2006

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.
 Every burn is a guessing game January 11, 2006

I guess I'll be the first to say it. These sony discs weren't completely compatible with my dvd writer. The problem I ran into was that the memory buffer wouldn't properly load when I start burning, and the session would stall and ultimately fail. This happened about once every five discs. Sometimes the problem went away when I restarted my computer - and sometimes it didn't. To that end I always had my fingers crossed every time I started a session, because the results were completely unpredictable.
My dvd writer is manufactured by pioneer. I'm currently using maxell discs with much better success - no failures thus far. Obviously everyone's computer setup is different, so I can't tell you these discs are poor because it could be a technical problem on my end that I'm overlooking. But if you do end up having trouble burning discs, then you're not alone.

I usually use nothing but Sony DVD-R disks. They have aways performed better than the other brands. It's seems that in the past year I have been having increasing problems finding a spindle of these disks that doesn't have more than a few "bad" disks. I recently puchased a 25 pack spindle and every disk in it worked fine... then I just bought a 50 pack spindle and have already had 5 disks fail while dubbing. I don't know if Sony has done something different in manufacturing these disks? I'm kinda bummed because I can't find anything better... and these are too expensive to be chucking into the trash.

Sony makes a very reliable blank DVD-R that can handle up to 4.7 GB of data. Moreover, these blank DVD-Rs are capable of recording data at speeds up to 16x. The data I record onto these lasts for years, proving the test of time. I have used these as data discs, discs to record video and discs to record audio. Great!
The DVD-R discs are compact and easy to store, although 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. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. 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 that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the data onto the blank disc, 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. At least that's what I do.
Overall, Sony blank DVD-R discs store data reliably over the years and 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.
Use them in good health!
