Don't bother trying to use these DVDs with a Mac, they won't work. I foolishly bought two spindles of blank Memorex media - CDs and DVDs - and not a single disc in either pack works. It's not my optical drive that's the problem, because other brands of media do work in my machine. So again, if you have a Mac, a Macbook, or a Macbook Pro, don't buy these discs - you'll just be throwing your money away. I've had very good luck with Sony products and will go back to using them exclusively.

I've tried burning various types of files using various burning applications and 4 out of 5 discs are coasters. The sony burner I'm using has worked fine with Fuji and TDK DVD+R discs, but so far the Memorex ones are no good.

On a new Macbook Pro, using Toast vers. 8, every other disk is a coaster, and that is burning at 2x. I usually use Verbatim media and see near 100% success rates.

I have tried just about every brand of dvd's. This is by far the best, great price, too!

I use these DVDs exclusively and just love them. I can go through a couple of spindles before getting a bad disc error. I only bought them the first time because they were on sale at my local Fry's, but I had such good results that I now buy them no matter what the price and am not tempted by sales of other brands.
