This review is from: Ridata DVD+R 8x 25-pack Spindle (Electronics)

I have now successfully burned over 10 DVDs on these discs, and all have played perfectly in both my Samsung stand-alone DVD player and the DVD Burner on my computer. The burner I use is a Sony DRU540a. I have used Disc Identifier on these discs and in case you people want to know, it is manufactured by Ritek and the media code is RitekR03. You can look that up on digitalfaq.com, then click on a link that says www.nomorecoasters.com (that is not the actual url, so you have to go to digitalfaq.com first) and it will show you where that media ranks according to some "expert". To him, it is 2nd class media with an 80 to 95% success rate, but to me and it sounds like the other people here, it is first class media with 100% success rate at an exceptional value. I have burned ZERO coasters and I don't foresee myself burning any soon. There is one problem, however. Like I said, I am using a Sony DRU540a for my burning and these discs will only burn at 4x with this burner. Disc identifier says they are compatabile up to 8x, so I think this is just a problem with the firmware with my burner. Once a firmware update is released I am sure they will all burn at 8x. (I know my burner works at 8x because the first blank DVD+R's I bought were Verbatim and they worked at 8x). That being said, it's not that big of a deal. 4x takes about 14 minutes, 8x takes about 7 minutes. Overall, the quality and value is excellent and I would recommend these discs to anyone and everyone. Tip...since the 50 pack doesn't ship for a couple weeks, but 2 25 packs and get free shipping. That is what I did, I selected the free shipping, and I got both packs in one shipment 4 business days later. You should be happy with these discs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not One Coaster In The Entire Stack....., July 30, 2004

I am on my second pack of these discs and highly recommend them. I have been using Nero Recode or CloneDVD to back-up my children's dvd movies; and I have not burned one "coaster" thru my first 25-pack of these dvd+r's. They play flawlessly on all three of our household dvd players as well as our 2 computers. For the price they are a great value.

A few reviews of other blank DVDs on Amazon have touched on a troubling issue: scratched discs. Some people claim to be getting scratched discs from Amazon. Well, I received these discs by themselves, in a too-large box which they were rattling around in. I was ready to have to return them, but the discs themselves are absolutely flawless. No imperfections of any kind on the bottom, and I analyzed each of them carefully.
I've also burned four of these discs at 8x with no problems whatsoever. I'm very pleased with them, and at this price they're a steal.
