Product Description

Now you can create, edit and archive home movies and digital photos while storing and accessing data from one disc. DVD-R discs capture all digital data brilliantly, and are large enough to hold oversized digital movie files. Using DVD-R for one-time recording is a relatively inexpensive way to store data and prevent accidental erasure.

From the Manufacturer
Nobody knows more about optical technology than Sony.  We co-developed the Compact Disc, the DVD and the Blu-ray Disc formats.  We launched the world's first Blu-ray Disc recorder and first Blu-ray Disc media, and we are also at the forefront in refining optical media.  Our AccuCORE technology delivers superb Accuracy, COmpatibility and REliability.

Sony's high precision disc molding technology makes a true flat disc. When a disc is not flat, recording as much as the original capacity may become impossible, or recording may even stop halfway due to skips that took place during data writing. Sony's adoption of a unique recording dye realizes fast and accurate address detection from low to high speeds.   Sony has designed and continues to make advances with highly reliable recording materials. Higher quality materials and precision engineering prevent "jitters" and error rates even after long term archival storage.

Another benefit of Sony's unique recording dye is the amazingly accurate play-back and writing ability with various brands and styles of drives and recorders.                     Sony's advanced recording materials provide decreased error rates and picture distortions that occur in many other brands resulting from temperature changes. Sony AccuCORE media makes for vastly improved recording stability.

Customer Reviews

So Much for Generics!
I had a run of 10 DVDs I had to burn for a customer who needed them by the next weekend; he is a vendor at at science-fiction convention.
I was using DVD+R blanks from two separate spindles, from two vendors at a computer show, purchased two separate times. Now granted, these were 50-disk spindles that I paid under $20 each for at the show, but still... I was getting 50% error rates! In other words, for every two disks, one turned out as a coaster or paint pallette! That's a tad over ridiculous.
I bought a spindle of these Sony's; yeah, I paid quite a bit more than $15-$20 for the spindle. So what? The price wound up being the same per usable product, and I get the Sony name and backing for the disk!
As the review title says,

SO MUCH FOR GENERICS!

I'll stick to brand-name, at least for mission-critical productions.

Great experience with these
About 3-months ago, based on reviews and articles on disks burning that advised against buying generic brands, I purchased a 25-disk spindle of these Sony DVD+R disks. I now have 25 additional DVDs in my movie library - no errors! While I'm far from knowledgeable about such things and have never purchased an alternative brand - so cannot provide a comparison - I had a very positive experience with these disks and am now purchasing a 50-disk spindle of the same product; just thought I should share.

Note: for those interested in backing-up their "lawfully purchased commercial DVDs with encryption," I've been using DVD Shrink, which is free, fast and, in my opinion, produces great quality copies.

Cheers!

Excellent DVDs
So far..., the ones I burnt i.e. almost more than half of the DVD's, have held up the company's name. I would recommend to buy 'em if you get a cheap deal.
