One thing I really like about this media is the quality of the print surface. It is not hub printable, but the printable surface is among the best I have used. Many other printable media smear when touching the surface with moist fingers, this media seems to completely dry quickly, doesn't smear, seems to be very durable. I use Epson R200 to print on surface.

As far as burn quality, I have had no problems. These discs show a MFG ID as OPTODISCR004. I burn these in a Sony DRU-500A with firmware 2.1a without a problem. I use Philips DVP-642 for playback, they play fine, but this player seems to play everything. Haven't tried the media in any other player, will update review later if I find problems, but for now this seems to be a great deal!

I purchased a pack and used them all, not one was bad. Each recorded just great, using MyDVD and then printed perfectly on my Epson R300. Not one coaster in the pack! I was buying only Verbatim because they were the only ones I could count on to work all the time. If the price stays down, I'll buy these instead.

I ordered 100 of these and after using over half of them have not had one bad disc yet so I ordered 300 more. I am sure there is better media to be had but not for $.30 delivered to your house and printable. My only complaint is that the media is not hub printable.

Radius Technology DVDs ID as "OPTODISC" brand media. (That is, OPTODISC makes the discs for Radius). OPTODISC media are generally found to be lousy: poor compatibility with many burners and many "coaster" (unreadable) burns. Amazon has high quality RIDATA blanks for a little more money. I highly recommend you buy them instead. Save yourself a lot of headaches and (if you store anything of importance) heartbreak. There really *IS* a significant difference between very cheap DVD media (like these) and better DVD media (like the Ridata).
