Amazon.com Product Description
Maxell DVD-R discs offer six times the storage capacity of CD-Rs, making them ideal choices for recording digital movies and photos, backing up hard drives, creating multimedia presentations, and developing a host of other projects. Each write-once disc holds 4.7 GB of information--enough for two hours of video in SP mode or six hours in EP mode. The DVD-Rs can also store up to a half dozen hours of high-quality music. Once recorded, the discs will last anywhere from 40 to 250 years, making them a great choice for archiving. The DVD-Rs owe their durability and quality performance to Maxell's choice of metal azo dye recording material, which ensures error-free recording and playback. This particular spindle comes with 50 DVD-R discs, each of which is write-compatible with most 8x DVD-R (not DVD+R) drives and recorders. After recording, DVD-R discs are read-compatible with almost all DVD-R playback devices.

 Worthless! August 5, 2008
Mahmud Arief Albar (Bryan, TX)
I bought this several months ago to make some video DVDs and store all my important data, mostly photos, programs, and documents. The first time I used them, they worked fine, I did not experience any problems at all during burning and accessing files in the discs afterwards. Just recently I wanted to open all my data again but much to my anger and frustration, ALMOST ALL of the discs are inaccessible and all I got are error messages. Even those discs that are readable have either small to large chunk of data that cannot be read.
I have no idea these discs could deteriorate so quickly. I didn't even use them heavily. They're still perfectly smooth, I always used them gently and always put them back to the spindle and store them away. But apparently it didn't matter, and they just broke down on their own for no reason whatsoever. Now I've lost about 70% of the data I've burned to the discs and must spend countless hours again re-collecting my data from their original sources.
I thought Maxell is supposed to be one of the most trusted name in this media. I often used their brand even back to the days of 5.25 floppy disks, and they were quite satisfactory. I could not say the same with this DVD-R. Perhaps I was just being unfortunate, and you might have better luck with it, but for me, I will NEVER buy any Maxell brand again for the rest of my life. EVER.
So much for trying to save money and not buying an external hard drive. Sigh.
 Not the Maxell I remember April 3, 2008

I've used Maxell cassettes and VHS tapes over the years with no problems. Always a quality product....until now. I have used two 50-packs of the Maxell DVD-R and my DVD recorder indicates a bad disk error of some sort in about 1 in 5 of these DVD-R disks. At first I thought it was the DVD recorder, but I've since used Verbatim DVD-R and have not had one problem.
 Great buy, excellent Price November 5, 2006

Excellent quality and so easy to use in my Panasonic DVD Recorder. Will continue to buy this brand since it works so well and I've been told that not all blank dvd-r's and dvd+r's work in certain brands of recorders.
Good media! July 9, 2006

I used the blank Media to create some home movies. It works well and will burn above the advertised Speed on the Label.
