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

Beware lot quality
I work a lot with DVDs, and have observed wide variance in quality, even from the same vendor. I had good luck with Sony when purchased from local stores, but most of the disks in my 100 stack from Amazon exhibit significant popping and stalling, regardless of write speed. Its impossible to say whether Amazon just got a bad lot, or if there was damage during shipping (the stack was rolling around in the box on arrival). My advice is to buy smaller stacks. Bigger stacks are cheaper, but if you get a bad stack, you lose a lot more money.

Always test compatibility before buying bulk!
For the last few years I have always bought these DVD+Rs. I've probably bought a dozen spindles and I've never had a problem. Some of the other reviewers have mentioned needing to throw an entire spindle away and I don't recall throwing more than an occasional disc away. Of course, if you've burned discs of any sort you'll know that regardless of brand you're going to produce the occasional "coaster."

That being said, it's important to realise that recordable drives and discs are similar to people in terms of compatibility. By that I mean that one type of disc may be in true love with a certain drive, but absolutely loathe another. Even if you've had great success with a certain brand of discs, you may not have the same success if you change drives.

My sincere recommendation is that you start small. Buy a few single discs or perhaps a ten pack until you're confident that the discs are working well with your drive. Then, you can start buying the 50 and 100 spindles. Sure, you may lose the "bulk discount" for the one or two "test" discs but you're saving yourself from losing an entire spindle of possibly incompatible discs.

Best blanks short of Taiyo
Taiyo Yuden media blanks are considered the best - I think Sony makes the second best. You can't go wrong with these. I've gone through 2 100-disk spindles so far and haven't had a single dud.
