On about the 8th disk in the spindle the disks stopped working in my Sony camcoder - they give "recovering data" message about 1 or 2 minutes into the recording and never work again. I tried a Sony disk and it worked fine. Then I figured I might have gotten a bad disk and openned the second spindle I bought (I bough 2 about 2 weeks apart as the disks seemed to work fine) and tried a couple of disks from there - same bad result. I put the Sony disk back in and it still works. So the camcoder is fine. These are just defective disks (and you do not know about that right away!). Also note that it is just the name "TDK" - the disk are actually made by Imation (says so in small print on the packaging) - I did not have a good experience with Imation disks on my PC in the past either - they are somewhat low quality. So here TDK makes money because their name is used and Imation makes money because even if you would not buy Imation Corp. disks - you might buy them labeled as "TDK". Both companies make money (by a deceiving branding method) and you pay for one thing and get another.

I have a couple of Sony mini DVD camcorders. I use them to video my son's hockey games for his coach. When you put in anything other than a Sony DVD it say "Sony DVD recommended". Nice marketing. Because I go through so many DVDs (I don't use DVD-RWs because the coach wants to keep the DVDs). I bought a few of these spindles. On the first spindle I threw away at least half the DVDs because I got a "Disc Error" message when the CamCorder tried to initialize the dics. You are not saving money if you can only use 50% of them. The Sony individual discs work great, but very pricy. I have found the indvidually packed Fuji or Memorex to work every time. This product may work ok for data, but don't bother for a CamCorder. I think the CamCorders are just more sensitive with the the real-time video recording and require a higher quality disc.

I bought these to go with my wifes new Sony mini-DVD camcorder .. A good bargan comparied to the local stores .. Every disk has worked so far with the only draw back of having the Sony camcorder remind me to use Sony media .. Also found a good deal on Amazon for Slim Jewel Cases for 8-cm Mini CDs too :) KHypermedia Slim Jewel Cases for 8-cm Mini CDs (Black, 25-Pack)
