Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TDK 4.7GB 16x DVD-R (100-Pack Spindle)
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
These are great Disks, in the last 2 years I have burned over a thousand of them, not one coaster, I tried a lot of brands, but, I have not found another that is any better,and I have tried many different brands, and the price can't be beat.
The disks just work well and have plenty of room to write on, should you need to. I have burned all types of media, DVD, data and mixed content. playback and burning, has been flawless,this is true on computer burners or standalone DVD player/ recorders.
I am not a real technical person, and don't have expensive burners, just the average priced ones. So when I find products that are affordable and work well, I want people to know about them. I don't know all the "Tech Specs", I just know they work and save me money.
The only bad note was the shipping, the spindle broke open due to bad packaging, none of the disks were damaged, but Amazon needs to be more careful about the packaging.
Customer Review: Poor quality, poor customer support, poor buy
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought a cake box of these and as some have listed this is CMC MAG AM3 media a low quality manufacturer. The edges of the ink on the disk are irregular and highly pitted. These disks are usable, but only if you burn a smaller size than full. If you use at 4gb than they may work. I had a failure rate of better than 65%. This is with a clean windows install, updated dvd firmware and fully patched burning software. I have a high level of tech knowledge (so don't blame my coasters on that.) When I contacted TDK for help they wanted me to use the full package and then send back only the bad ones. When I mentioned the pitted edges they started asking me to email pics. Why should I do their quality control. I'm just going to throw them out and never buy TDK again, I suggest you do the same.
If your a previous user of TDK understand that they sold off their media rights to Imation, this is not the same quality media your used to using.
Customer Review: Great DVD;s but Amazon has trouble shipping w/o damage
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think I have ever made a coaster with a TDK DVD-R so I use them almost exclusively.
However, I don't think I'll order them from Amazon again. Twice the box containing only the dvd's has arrived in pristine condition but inside, amazingly, the dvd package itself arrived open with the spindle broken right off the bottom of the package. Also, either some of the air pillow packing had been placed between the last dvd and the bottom of the pack at the Amazon warehouse or somehow an air pillow worked itself into that spot during shipping.
The first time this happened, the replacement was shipped the next day and arrived a day earlier than expected. The second time, the rep told me to wait 10 days to reorder but wouldn't give me the price I paid for it, only a $10 coupon toward my next purchase. Not that I would order again but of course the dvd's are more expensive now than when I first ordered.
Customer Review: Very dependable and Inexpensive
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying several other DVD Blank media and experiencing unsatisfactory results, I decided to try two other DVD blank media, Memorex and TDK DVD Electronics. I was satisfied with Memorex for a time but found the cost of this blank media had risen considerably..so I switched to TDK DVD blank media to try. After I purchased the TDK Electronics DVD 100 Pack Blank Media Spindle, I have had no problems in the short time I was using this product. If I continue to experience no problems, I will definitely rely on TDK Blank media because I find it dependable and the price is substantially lower than most other DVD blank media which I was buying here at Amazon. If you're like me and want to invest in good quality DVD blank media that meets today's low cost spending, then I suggest TDK Electronics. In any event, Amazon continues to give the customer a variety of great deals and free shipping.Customer Review: Good Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was concerned about buying these discs after reading all the bad reviews. However, the price was too attractive to resist. Plus, I have used other TDK media in the past and was always satisfied. I received the product and immediately tested the discs. To my disappointment, my dvd drive could not recognize the disc. I tried several more times with the same results. I was about to give up and send the discs back to Amazon when I decided to adjust my burn speed and try one last time (actually adjusted upwards to faster burn speed). VOILA! Worked perfectly. I have been through almost all 100 discs and have not had one disc fail. That is just my experience. Sometimes, all you need to do is adjust the burn speed. I know that on some Sony DVD-R that I bought I had to adjust the burn speed down before they would work properly.
