Couldn't burn 1 right
(1 out of 5) by LarryLo on May 12, 2003 (Washington, DC)I don't know if it was the content or the software I used, but I went through 5 of these disks and could not get 1 to work.
I made 4 attempts at backing up some Data (4.2 Gig) and 1 at making a DVD of some home Video Clips. All failed.
As a comparison I tried the Memorex DVD+R for the same projects and they worked perfectly on the first try. I have a Sony DRU 500a burner and I used Roxio Easy CD 5 (updated). For the DVD movie I used Sonic My DVD.
Beware of this brand
(1 out of 5) by bsbuster on Oct 23, 2007I used their blank CDs to archive some irreplaceable music 4 or 5 years ago. They now all start to become unplayable and the outer part of the discs are starting to turn brown. I used many brands and this is the only one that does that. I will not touch this brand to store any valuable material, be it CD or DVD or any future type of media.
BAD
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 17, 20044 out of 10 works. JUST LEAVE IT. NOT EVEN WORTH OF A SINGLE STAR
Nothing but coasters.
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 2, 2004I've used different brands of DVD-R's before and never had problems burning DVD-R's. I have a Pioneer DVR-105 and use Nero Ultra Burning ROM as my CD/DVD burner of choice.
Every single one of the Khypermedia DVD-R discs I used were failures. I'm surprised, because I've had nothing but good luck with Khypermedia's CDR media.
Don't blame the media for your incompetence!
(5 out of 5) by Raphael Terrello on Dec 3, 2003 (Minneapolis, MN)I haven't had a problem using KHypermedia's DVD-R or DVD+R discs. I've been using a Lite-On LDW-411 with most recent firmware and Windows XP and these discs play fine in my very cheap AMW dvd player. I wasn't expecting much from the discs because of the reviews I've read and the fact that I got 4 10-packs for free (after rebates) from OfficeMax. They're not lightning fast but you can backup a full DVD in about 30-40 minutes with CloneCD (half the time for ripping the original DVD, half the time for burning), and if they work I really don't care about saving a few minutes on burning time.
I had one problem with a DVD-R disc, but I attribute it to another application which stalled my computer.
Make sure you know what you're doing before you blame the media. In my total burning experience with DVDs and CDs, I've had probably 2 coasters out of hundreds. And those were not necessarily even a problem with the media. I've never had compatibility problems, but maybe I'm just one lucky SOB. If you're using a burner with many known problems, then you might want to reconsider what the problem is when it won't accept your media. Lite-On has always worked perfectly for me.
