HP DVD-R DISK

The HP DVD-R 8X disks work very good on my DVR writer. However, I did not keep the ones I ordered from AMAZON because their 50 pack cost a few cents more that what the 100 pack cost at Micro Center. plus tax. When I ordered it I saw the picture of the 100 case package, so I thought I would get the 100 pack for the $30.00. The 100 pack cost $27.00 here at micro center puls 6.75% tax make it $29 and some change. But they are very hard to come by. I think maybe PH stop making 8X, However I found ouy that the higher ones like 16X and 32X work just as good or even better. It just can't use anything under 8X.

But the HP brand works very well for my Writer.

A good blank DVD-R at the right price--but a few coasters...

This was an item I originally decided to try on sale at a store here in New York--and overall, I am pretty much satisfied with it. It records images and audio very faithfully and the audio and images have not decreased in quality over time on any of my disks!

You occasionally get a surprise coaster, however. It seems like as many as one out of ten disks turns into a coaster after the recording process goes seemingly uneventfully. This can be a nasty surprise, especially if you've just copied oh, say, six hours of VCR tape onto the DVD-R disk. So, what do you do? You already knew it--you're stuck back at square one and you have to burn the DVD-R all over again from the beginning--on another blank disk.

On the other hand, I suppose that at least nine out of ten disks being absolutely fine (in other words, at least a 90% performance rate) isn't too bad BUT for a person who just can't be bothered with this drawback I honestly have to recommend you try another brand of DVD-R media.

Nevertheless, the price IS right and for those of us on a budget such as college students (or me!) you really can't go too wrong with this brand of DVD-R media. If you don't mind an infrequent coaster I would go with this brand, especially when on sale, unless your needs are more professional or you have a time deadline to get a project done. It has never damaged any of my three DVD players! Moreover, the packaging is excellent--very sturdy.
