Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TDK 4.7GB 16x DVD-R (100-Pack Spindle)

Customer Review: Unusable!
Summary: 1 Stars

I had used TDK DVD-R blanks many times before so I ordered this without hesitation. To my complete shock, these DVD-R discs, made by Ritek of Taiwan for TDK, were completely unusable in various DVD burners: Matsushita, NEC, Toshiba, Sony, etc. I tried over a dozen blanks in these burners, using different DVD burning programs on different computers (and a set-top burner), and not a single disc was usable.

Avoid this TDK 100-pack like a plague.

I bought a 60-pack Playo DVD-R spindle at Staples and every one of the 10 or so discs I've burned had absolutely no problems.

Customer Review: no luck with these
Summary: 2 Stars

I would recommend that you stay away from this product and try something else. I was taken by the the great price and brand name. But after getting about 25-30 good burns, I ended up throwing the rest away because my DVD burner would not recognize them (intel mac mini superdrive). Thinking it was a faulty drive and not the media. I recorded the last two episodes of the Sopranos on my Panasonic DVD recorder using one of these things. Sure enough, after canceling HBO, the media could not be read by the recorder. I think I will try smaller quantities until I find a solid brand that works for me.

Customer Review: TDK 16X Dual-Layer DVD Disks
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought these without my usual careful attention to detail. They burn reliably and fine, but why anyone would make or sell DVD blanks at this late date that you CAN'T PRINT ON (i.e., they have the stupid old unprintable shiney top surfaces) ~ is beyond me. I now use them for test disks only, since every project I do must have on-disk printed labeling. Caveat emptor ~ look like a hawk for the innocuous word "PRINTABLE" in addition to all the other geek-descriptive words. And NATURALLY, since I opened the shrink wrap to burn my first DVD, I can't return this huge pile of coasters.

Customer Review: dvd-r
Summary: 3 Stars

When I got my shipment in and opened the box, the packaging of the dvd's were not packed the right way. Since I had ordered 2 100 pack cases, I would have thought it would have came in better condition. As soon as I opened the box, the cases were open and discs exposed as if the box may have been thrown around which would have given me the idea that the sender never really gave any thought that this box will be traveling such a distance. I have bought items such as this in the past and not gotten in such array. I will not purchase from this vendor again.

Customer Review: Spend it on another brand
Summary: 1 Stars

It's the first time I've bough TDK DVDs and I am having a horrible experience with them. The DVDs are not compatible with my Dell 700m with a NEC HD-6650A DVD+/-RW drive. It keeps saying illegal disc. This did not happen with the HP 16x DVD-R or the Memorex 16x DVD-R I used previous to running out and buying these TDK DVD-Rs. On my desktop Liteon drive (apparently there's less problems with a desktop burner), it worked 1 out of 10 times. So at this rate, I'll probably get 10 good DVDs out of the 100 I bought. I do not recommend this product at all.
