5.0 out of 5 stars Works w/my Panasonic DMR-ES10K DVD Recorder, June 2, 2005

I bought these so I could offload my TiVo shows that I wanted to keep forever using my newly purchased Panasonic DMR-ES10K DVD Recorder. It works great. These MCC discs are perfect for video recording. My co-worker loves that he can keep his VHS tapes at home now so when he misses an episode of 24, I can record it to DVD for him :) At Amazon's price of $0.32/each, it's hard to beat. I'd never pay more than $.40/each though, for any blank DVD-R's.

I've also recently put 4 of my wife's exercise VHS tapes onto a single DVD and it burned flawlessly and the DVD video looks great. I've also begun transferring some of my other concert VHS tapes to these and they again work perfectly.

** My first UPS delivery resulted in a shattered spindle(poor packing in my opinion). Amazon was great though and they shipped out a replacement with 2-day delivery and paid to ship back the busted up spindle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great at 8x!, January 10, 2005

I have an NEC burner and these discs work great at 8X. Some people buy them because some Verbatim's carry an MMC003 media code and can burn at 12X. The truth is, Verbatim use to make their own media, but now just rebadges them with thier name and are actually made by varied media manufacturers. In the end, you get varied results when you burn faster than what the media is rated, becuase the media is not always the same, even though it was packaged as Verbatim. If you intend to burn at 8x, then these will be fine for your purposes. But if your intent is to burn these at above 8x, be careful, different burners will get varied and unstable results, becuase you'll never know what you'll end up with.

I was a little skeptical at first, based on some of the reviews, but my media checks out as MCC, which is supposedly Mitsubishi Chemical, one of the best manufacturers of quality media. So far, no problems and no coasters. Plays perfectly on 3 DVD players in my house. Only complaint is that the writing surface is not very accepting of my Sharpie. It stays on, but looks like it isn't sticking at all. Media code on these is the same as Verbatim's high-end Data-life Plus series. Very satisfied.
