 The Media works fine.  Out of about 25 burns, I've experienced 3 errors, but since it's an RW, I just erase the disc and start over.  It's always burned fine on the 2nd try.

 Burned with no problems at 4x using Linux k3b, but wouldn't play on my XBOX, home DVD player, friend's PS2, and friend's DVD player.  Which personally, I feel, completely defeats the purpose of it.

 My experience: total crap. Like DeathAngel (see comment below), the label said to check the firmware upgrade (not necessary in case of the NEC2500A). I checked and doublechecked everything, but so far 7 of 7 discs gave power calibration errors. It looks like the formatting is ok, but then after 15-25 seconds, the error message pops up. I've burned Sony DVD+R without a problem on the drive, so apparently the drive is ok. I'll never buy these again ...

 The label on the discs warns the user with the following text: "Before burning this disc in a 2.4x DVD+RW data drive, you need to check how to get the required firmware upgrade. Full Details can be found in enclosed booklet". see www.dvdrservices.com.
 
 The NEC ND-1100 is a 2.4x speed burner (DVD+RW) therefore it's wise to check your disc after burning with NERO's CDSPEED or DVDinfoPro for abnormalities.
 In almost all cases the burning process goes OKE.
 The reliabilty for this media drops due to the lack of Firmware upgrades by  NEC.
