Customer Review: Great DVD;s but Amazon has trouble shipping w/o damage
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think I have ever made a coaster with a TDK DVD-R so I use them almost exclusively.
However, I don't think I'll order them from Amazon again. Twice the box containing only the dvd's has arrived in pristine condition but inside, amazingly, the dvd package itself arrived open with the spindle broken right off the bottom of the package. Also, either some of the air pillow packing had been placed between the last dvd and the bottom of the pack at the Amazon warehouse or somehow an air pillow worked itself into that spot during shipping.
The first time this happened, the replacement was shipped the next day and arrived a day earlier than expected. The second time, the rep told me to wait 10 days to reorder but wouldn't give me the price I paid for it, only a $10 coupon toward my next purchase. Not that I would order again but of course the dvd's are more expensive now than when I first ordered.
Customer Review: Very dependable and Inexpensive

After trying several other DVD Blank media and experiencing unsatisfactory results, I decided to try two other DVD blank media, Memorex and TDK DVD Electronics. I was satisfied with Memorex for a time but found the cost of this blank media had risen considerably..so I switched to TDK DVD blank media to try. After I purchased the TDK Electronics DVD 100 Pack Blank Media Spindle, I have had no problems in the short time I was using this product. If I continue to experience no problems, I will definitely rely on TDK Blank media because I find it dependable and the price is substantially lower than most other DVD blank media which I was buying here at Amazon. If you're like me and want to invest in good quality DVD blank media that meets today's low cost spending, then I suggest TDK Electronics. In any event, Amazon continues to give the customer a variety of great deals and free shipping.Customer Review: Good Product!

I was concerned about buying these discs after reading all the bad reviews. However, the price was too attractive to resist. Plus, I have used other TDK media in the past and was always satisfied. I received the product and immediately tested the discs. To my disappointment, my dvd drive could not recognize the disc. I tried several more times with the same results. I was about to give up and send the discs back to Amazon when I decided to adjust my burn speed and try one last time (actually adjusted upwards to faster burn speed). VOILA! Worked perfectly. I have been through almost all 100 discs and have not had one disc fail. That is just my experience. Sometimes, all you need to do is adjust the burn speed. I know that on some Sony DVD-R that I bought I had to adjust the burn speed down before they would work properly.Customer Review: I don't understand why others have so many problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been burning DVDs for several years now, totaling over 2500 discs. I have used several different machines; at present I use a Magnavox that I paid $50 for at Wal-Mart. As for the discs, I usually buy whatever is the lowest price. The last 200 I bought were TDKs from Amazon. I paid only $21/100.
It may be hard to believe after reading many of the other reviews here, but my experience has been almost problem free. I doubt if I have lost more than 10 discs in all that time, and most of the failures were my fault. Why others have so many problems and complaints, I do not know and will not even speculate.
Maybe it's just good luck, but whatever the reason, I wish everyone else had the same experience I have had!
Customer Review: Great DVDs... or they were

Review for TDK 8x DVD-R:
I've burned over 100 of TDK's DVD-R at 8x speeds on a Pioneer 107 drive, and on a Powerbook SuperDrive. Not one coaster. The top of the disc is nice too, with a subtle logo displayed on it, leaving plenty of room to label the disc.
Only they changed their discs...
The most recent batch (the 16x variety) of these discs had a different label on top, and would only burn at 2X in my PowerBook G4, and 4x on my Pioneer 107 (both capable of burning at 8X). I bought a new 16x external drive, and they burned at a full 16x on that drive. Just a caution, it is probably best to buy a 10-25 pack to see how well they burn in your own drive before committing to a full 100.
