5.0 out of 5 stars I had no problems so far, November 20, 2006

This review is from: Sony 25DPW47RS2 DVD+RW Re-Recordable DVD (25-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)

I too have a Sony RDR-VX500 VCR/DVD Recorder and the formating only took 5-7 min. Another reviewer said that the formatting took over 40 min. This is not normal. Either a disc is defective or the recorder has malfunctioned. I had no problems so far.

There's one thing that customers need to be aware of: That is the difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I didn't think there was a difference, so I purchased a package of DVD-RW discs at Wal-mart. I learned the hard way that there is a difference. The DVD recorder will not create a menu on the DVD-RW discs. You can still create titles-but if you are playing the disc on a regular DVD player(I also have a Sony 5 disc DVD player)then playing the DVD-RW Disc is nearly impossiable. So when buying RW discs or R discs-Make sure you see the+sign. Either the DVD+R or the DVD+RW. It's the differnce between a menu or no menu. Just be careful.

I'm no expert in the field-I'm a buyer with experience.

These are the best recordable DVDs I have found. I have used several other brands, and none have been as consistent, and trouble-free as these. For some reason, the stores I normally buy them from have stopped carrying them. Thank goodness that Amazon still has them!!! I really don't want to use any other kind. Am a firm beliver in the product!!!!

I'm converting my very large tape library to disk and while filling the first fifty or so I've never had a problem with this product and I'm buying another stack. If the other guy who wrote a review had formatting problems he should take his defective machine back to the store and not blame the manufacturer of these excellent disks.
