Comments posted by Steve Pearless from Other, July 02, 2003:
Very variable, 1st 100 was near 100
% OK, next 100.... 20%OK, these were replaced with new batch which are bad in last 500-700 Meg. Fill them less than 4.1G and they seem fine.

Conclusion... they are cheap.. but for me the extra cost of a good Ritek disk (like the datawrite white top 4X not had one fail yet!) is well worth it for the lack of frustration. I will not buy anymore!

Have burned about 10 of these so far at 4x speed. Burn was sucessful but I get choppy playback towards the end of the disc (50% - 75% through film), then it stops alltogether. 2x burn seems OK but I've only tried a few at this speed.

I had two packs of 10 of these 4x -R media.
The first pack burned OK - but ONLY at 2x or LESS.
Nero said it was burning at 4x , but still took half an hour!
The second pack - none burned , errors within 5 seconds of burning!
