These rewritable discs are fantastic for recording television shows and movies. Before I bought these, I had discs that you could not re-use and had to be thrown out after being used only one time. Now, I record programs over and over again - defintely worth the ptrice.

We do a LOT of recording of TV shows. My husband has been using these for months. Very happy. He has 3 dvd recorders. Had problems in the past with a lot of discs of different brand - unusuable or rejected. Very very happy with these.

Just as I have come to expect, Maxell is still #1. I have been a Maxell fan for years, considering that I used to sell their products. They were the best then, and are the best now. Matched with my new Pioneer DVD writer, it's an awesome combination.

I have been recording and erasing these for about 2 months now and they don't dissappoint. I have been using them with my Toshiba DVR660 DVD/VCR and my LG GH22LP20 DVD Writer. They work every time.

I record on average about 10 hours a week ,,, while using these RW discs.

And while I have not measured exactly or compared with other manufacturers ,,, each disc does last months of rewriting ,,, most done at LP speed.

I am happy and have no complaints using and reusing ,,, writing and rewriting.

When it comes to changing media, everyone is getting their hands on a DVD recorder for their home, or if you have a computer. It is now standard, when it comes to recording. But when it comes to high quality storage, Maxell is one of those brand names that people can trust. Their DVD-RW discs are easy to store phots, media files, music, or your favorite television shows and movies on your home DVD recorder. They work great and last a very long time. While there are others that might be only be worth just the hype, Maxell is a quality name you can trust for all today for all your electronic needs.

I've been using these little gems for burning movies from a Tivo in a Toshiba 570 DVD recorder with excellent results. There have been no write error messages and I have not seen any instances of drop-outs for either video or audio. Movies which were saved at best quality then recorded at best quality seem to be identical. The only difference I have noted is some degradation of signal when recording in SP mode or slower but I believe that is more a function of the lower quality of recording at the slower speeds, not the fault of the media. I have experienced similar signal loss when using other brands of media when recorded at SP or slower.

To date, I have not had any issues or quality drop-off when re-writing over an already used disc. I doubt I'll ever re-write enough to find the acual limitations which most manufacturers claim to be up to 1000 times.

I can confidently recommend these Maxell media.

I have been using Maxell products for many years not just the recent creation of digital disc but audio cassette tapes VHS video tapes, and computer floppy discs 3.5 in and 5.25 in. They consistently exhibit a high, reliable quality that I have grown accustomed to. I am more than satisfied with the product, and the online purchasing experience, as well as the timely arrival of my product including the condition upon arrival. I will be coming back for a reorder when I begin to get low on my stock that I maintain on a routine basis.

Only recently have I started using RW discs so I don't have a lot of other brands to compare to but so far it's been nothing but great.

I've rewritten the discs a few times and I have no run into any problems. I tend to keep my discs clean and scratch free so that helps.

Price was good and I hope to recycle these discs for data storage and burning movies that I don't intend to keep. It's great for these purposes.

The first and so far the only pack of 25 Maxwell DVD-RW's I have opened contained DVD's that were unusable. The DVD blanks would not record, over fifteen of them had to be thrown away. I have not contacted the vendor since I no longer have that info handy, but I will research it and contact him (or her). So far the few DVD's that did record, when played back, the DVD froze ever few minutes, making it unwatchable and so unusable. I have not opened the other three packs of 25 Maxwell DVD's I purchased, but anticipate the identical thing happening with them. Something is very wrong here. Aren't DVD's tested before being sent from the factory?
