Average media at best. Bought this at OFfice Depot on sale $24.99 for 100 pack. This media code SONY16D1 is listed as supported at 20x in my Lite-On 20A1H. So far it's been less then spectacular at 20x. Even burning at 16X I get more PI errors than I would like. I may have to try going down to 8x or 12x in an effort to achieve better results.

What happened Sony? Your dvd-r 8x media was so good and now you let your quality standards slide and dump this media on us? Plextor's plextools gives this media a bad quality rating while your previous 8x dvd-rs always got excellent. I feel burned buying 75 thinking I was going to get good media and ending up with this.

Not the Taiyo Yudens one sees around sometimes, on the Sony label, but this cake of 50 is a bargain nonetheless.

The best name-brand media out there are the Verbatims, but if you can't get those, try the Sony ones, especially if you have finicky Zenith products.

I have burnt backups of dozens of my movies, without one hitch.

On sale at the time of writing at Best Buy, $12.99 per 50.
