DVD-R: Quality Media Storage
DVD-R is a Write-Once format with a storage lifetime intended for storing videos and archiving important business or personal data. Compared with CD-Rs, DVD-Rs offer more storage space and faster write times, making them a natural choice for preserving media and other large files.

Each AmazonBasics DVD-R disk can record up to two hours of DVD quality video programming. A single DVD-R can also hold three hours of VHS-quality video or more than 60 hours of MP3 audio.

DVD-R Compatibility
There are two types of recordable DVD disks available. Almost all recent DVD players and drives can handle both burned DVD-R and DVD+R disks, but some older players can only read one format or the otherIt is important to check your player’s manual to determine which DVD type it supports.

16X Write Speed and Organic Dye: Built for Fast, Accurate Writing
AmazonBasics DVD-R disks enable fast write speeds from 2.4X to 16X for quick, clean data transfer. (To take full advantage of these speeds, your DVD burner must burn at speeds of at least 16X. Consult your computer or DVD burner product manual for this information.)

A 16X transfer speed translates to 21.60 MB/s, which means that you can burn a full disk in less than four minutes. The organic dye used on the write side of these DVD-Rs provides stable writing at high speeds for reliable, accurate finished disks.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Value4
In the past, I've found DVDs from different companies may or may not be usable in all my equipment. Sony DVDs were compatible with all my equipment, but they can be pricey. I was happy to find that these Amazon DVD were compatible with a wide range of equipment. We've already burned DVDs on an Apple IMac G5, Dell Inspirion 15, Sony DRX-840U DVD burner and Toshiba DR410 DVD player/burner. No compatibility problems. And they are priced less than $19 for a 100 disc spindle! Excellent!

And although Amazon touts their new "Frustration Free - Ready to Ship" packaging, I received my package of DVDs in a small neat box marked "Ready for Shipping" INSIDE a huge box labeled C3 that was 19 X 13 X 8. I don't think the warehouses are clear on the concept yet. Although my account page allows Packaging Feedback on products I ordered, none of my Amazon Vine products, including this one, are on the feedback page. But this minor flub did not change my mind or rating for these DVDs, they are an excellent product.

These are perfect5
To me, Finding the right DVDR is like finding the Deodorant - gotta find something that works.

Let's face it - Writable Media is expensive and Doesn't always work well, Depending on Brand. I use writable DVDs both on my Computer and my Philips DVDR3575H/37 DVD Recorder. And with That Philips DVD recorder, not all brands work properly or will Finalize for playback, Mainly any TDK DVD+R (Yes just the Plus). plus, often Burns on my PC fail.

AmazonBasics DVD-R, for those unaware, AmazonBascis, is amazon.com's own line of Products and These DVD-R discs are perfect. Not only do they work as good as Leading brands Sony,JVC, Memorex, ETC. You get more for your money and a lot more room on the Label side of the disc to write on. 100 DVD-r's for the Price of 50 Name Brands and work just as good as the name brand - WHAT More can you ask for?

Cheaper Than The Rest5
I've now burned over 300 movie and slideshow DVDs with no problems and am having to order more of these same disks because these are the only ones my new Lacie burner will consistently burn. Go figure.

I have to commend Amazon with using the best packaging I've ever had with 100 pack DVDs. The ones I get from Sam's Club are thrown into an oversized box with some paper and the whole case is broken by the time I get it. These were boxed such that the case doesn't move and is securely protected.

Not thrilled with the bright silver background. Harder to read inked labels but it's not a deal-breaker.
