I'm using a Pansonic DVD recorder, and was using TDK DVD-R & DVD+R disks, but when they changed them about a year or two ago they started to fail regularly, often half a package of them would be no good, so I was forced to search for another brand. I tried several including Memorex, HP, Sony, Verbatim, & some store brands, and they all had a higher failure rate than I could accept, so I suspected a problem with the recorder - but when I tried these Magnavox DVDs, to my surprise the DVD-Rs have all worked perfectly and only 1 out of 100 of the DVD+Rs failed. Occasionally I've tried one of the other brands I still have left over and they still fail sometimes, then these work, so it's not just the recorder.

I was given these discs as a back to school type gift so that I could back up all my lectures- I'm in medical school so between mp3's of lectures, corresponding powerpoints, and handout materials; my hard drive fills up pretty quickly every semester. However, the material has to be saved because we will need it for board exams. Basically the discs were for backing up all that material. I've used them to back up my movies as well. I've not had one disc yet turn out to be a coaster, and I've used over half the spindle so far. When used for movies, playback has been superb. I would recommend these discs to anyone!

i was very happy with this product. i used all 100 of them and only one was bad. the playback is great.no problems
