I have a Sony DRU500A and even though these are not on the list of DVD-R that were tested with this unit I have had no problem burning these. I have also had excellent DVD-Video compatiblity with these blanks with Nero 5.5.x.x Burning ROM when using the DVD ISO/UDF Bridge record option. I have several DVD-Video players ranging from old to new and these discs work well in all of them.

Buyers beware! Don¡¦t buy any Imation DVD media. On Imation¡¦s website they claim the media is capable of writing speed of 4X but it is all lies. I have the latest Pioneer A06 4x dual format recorder and this sucker only burns at 1X and makes lots of coaster (15% failure rate). I strongly recommend the Memorex. Not only it burns blazingly fast at 4X but costs about the same. As a side note, the Memorex disc is completed flat on the surface thus makes labeling much easier and appears much more professional when comparing to the Imation with a raised ring at the center.

I bought 2 of these, and had problems with almost all of them. In the last 20% of each disc, I couldn't write anything that didn't have errors.

I used a lite-on 401s.

The media code was CMC MAG R01. I've read nothing good about this media code.

I have been all around the net, and everywhere that reviews dvd media pretty much says the same thing: "Don't buy Imation discs."

Now I've been using these discs to back-up my discs since I started, and the only problem I have encountered has been that they won't read on my son's DVD player (a Cyberhome 300). Other than that small problem I have nothing bad to say about these discs.

In fact, the only coasters I've created have been created via, poweroutages durring the burning process.

I am very satisfied with this product.
