Good media for Made In Japan. However, I've had two disks that showed signs of "dye melting". Visual circular streaks in the dye can be seen after a burn.. but not before. Speed tests confirm that disk quality for these "bad" disks are not good. But the disks are still playable. So far found one "bad" disk in two packages. On a "good" disk, speed tests have good results. I still think they're high quality disks. $10 for 25pk of 8x media was a pretty good deal.

(MAXELL -r 8x) I want to see a picture of the retail package for USA. The guy who loaded the pic here must be on crack..this listing says -r, his pic is +r nad it says 4x...clearly not the right thing. I wish stupid people would shut up. Also, has anyone seen these on sale for less than 50 cents apiece?

Burns at 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x using Nero 6. Flawless burns using any of the burning apps listed below. Maxell 8x and 4x -R media has been excellent over >100 burns. My first DVD-R's were a free Imation 10pack and had coaster after coaster...which prompted me to try Maxell (used their cassettes years ago) and haven't looked back.

My NEC 3500a (v. 2.18) using Nero 6 listed all writing speeds from 16X down. Burning failed to initialize at 16X, but did at 12X. The burn took 10 minutes, so even though 12X was selected, effectively a 6X burn resulted. I used an Athlon 64 3000+ laptop with the external HD containing the video on a USB 2 bus and the external burner on a PCMCIA/USB 2 bus.
