Great deal!

I was skeptical at first, having tried many other cheaper brands for dual layer discs, and wound up regretting it every time. I was forced to use the very expensive Verbatim brand, and they were great - except that you pay a premium for them. I decided to try the Phillips out on a whim, and boy am I glad I did. They perform as well as the Verbatim, at half the price. Great deal, and great value.

Works great, and no useless ''coaster'' discs yet! A great value for 50 of these! :)

Comment:
Performs as advertised.

I bought this 50 swindle pack and have yet been able to burn a single DVD successfully. I've used similar products from Dynex, Memorex, Sony as well as other manufacturers and have never had any problems. This is the last time I buy something because it is on sale on Tigerdirect.

Comment:
Terrible performance on both my iMac internal drive and my LG external drive. At least a 33% failure rate. Even on the discs that appeared to have recorded completely, I've had problems with playback, raising the failure rate to more like 50%. Stick with Memorex 8x DL. Although a bit more expensive, they all work. The Philips discs are akin to torching your money.

Comment:
These are brand new discs on a brand new Lite on burner that has a 95% success rate on 4.7 Gig discs and about a 30% success rate with these 8.5 Gig Phillips disappointments.

Had only one out of 50 that didn't burn using a fairly new Toshiba DVD burner at 6x speeds. Excellent results and price.

Comment:
These discs perform well and are priced great. The large logo on the front is a bit annoying when labeling the discs with a marker, but it is only a minor issue.

Comment:
It is a waste of time to burn these DVDs with my LG durner. I got more than 10 caster, and I just gave up burn any more Philips' discs.

Comment:
Have had two packs of these discs without a single failure. My only complaint is some genius at Philip's decided to cover nearly the whole surface of labeling side of the disc with text. Their name takes a third on the upper half and DVD R covers the whole bottom half, which leaves just a thin area for titling. If you can get past this drawback, they're unmatched in quality.

Comment:
I had no problems burning or viewing.

Comment:
I know that some discs don't work in specific burners but I have four burners in total and these discs didn't work in any of them. I used between 4 and 7 discs per burner with different settings and not a single one worked. I bought two stacks of 50. My only hope is that they work in my brother's computer or else i've just bought 100 coasters.

Phillips quality & value!!!

Comment:
I've used every brand available these top them all. 1000's used without a problem. The top of these DVDs have very little space available for labeling with Pen or thermal imaging.

Comment:
I'm new to this line of burning, but have been completely satisfied so far.

Comment:
I video tape my kids weekly sporting events and combine them into 1 DL video at the end of each season for each child on the team. I've used this product for 3 straight years to burn about 500 disks. I can't remember having a bad disk. Great product.

Comment:
I've used these disks in both 8 and 4 Gig with fewer coasters than other name brands at higher $$$. Works 99.99% and I really think that the other .01 is computer glich.

Comment:
I haven't burned through all of them yet, but so far not a single coaster out of 30 burned. Great deal, terrific price.

Comment:
I've just finished my first 50 pack. They all worked just fine and I'm ordering another pack.

Comment:
20 plus burns in and no coasters. Very reliable discs and a great price. I think A majority of the problems people have reported with these disc are due to old burners and outdated firmware. My oldest PC with a DL layer burner can't read these, however my other 2 PC's and Laptop read and write to these problem free.

Comment:
So far, I have had only 1 bad DVD out of the 50. That is pretty good.

Comment:
I wanted a dual layer light scribeable DVD but didn't find any with good reviews. These have worked for me without a single failure. I just write on them with my permanent marker, low tech but it works.

Comment:
This was my first purchase of the Double Layer discs. I had no problems.

Comment:
Absolute garbage. I've burned coaster after coaster after coaster with two spindles of these discs. Caveat emptor -- do not buy Philips discs!
