 worst discs ive ever used.  first 15 i burned i had 8 successful, and 7 bad discs.  wont burn at any higher than 8x, and even 8x is hit or miss.  bought because i trusted the philips name, and the 100 disc spindle was cheap.  needless to say, im going back to fuji discs.

 Won't burn for me at 6X, but works great at 4X, with high reliability and compatibility. Quite simply the best DVD-R discs I've found at local retailers. Highly recommended.

 Simply one of the best DVD-Rs i've used, besides the TDK 4x, Verbatim 4x and Maxell 4x.  Every recording comes out crystal clear and never once does it skip.

 Inconsistent results - burned DVD image "sticks" or breaks up (as found when old and scratched, except these are newly burned).
 
 Maybe 1/3 of the time, bad burns resulted.
 
 Never had a problem with Maxell or Office Depot disks before these.
