BEST SELLERS

In CD / DVD / Blu-Ray Media

Able to back up all my photos on my computer without any failed burns The discs were super fast to copy Great price

Good quality. Used every single one of them and there was not one dud.

These are dependable and why I keep getting them although I prefer the solid white printable discs bt Verbatim both are good.

Seems to work well and can be labeled by marker or pen if you need or want to.

- Great for making immortal OS install discs, or storing smaller files.

Quality erasable media.

NO Returns to date out of 100's distributed. High compatibility with set-top DVD players. Prints well with Epson R300/R260 printers. No errors ever found in representative samples.

Exactly what was expected, received in 2 days! Excellent price! Can't beat it!

I tested this using Opti Drive Control at 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x with a variety of relatively new drives: Lite-On iHAS124 F, Sony Optiarc AD-7280S (basically the same as the 5280S that is still being sold at Newegg) and Pioneer BDR-2208 (BDR-208M). ODC measures parity errors and failures across a given disc, as well as how well-defined the pits and lands on the disc are (a.k.a. jitter). Basically, you want consistent low numbers - pay attention to the average amount of parity errors; maximum amount of parity failures; and jitter across the board - with no sudden spikes. It's best to use a variety of scanning drives and burning speeds to get a good idea of burn quality, since writing drives, reading drives, and media all vary. Given how awful some of the cheaper, more marginal optical media can be in these tests - for example some of the Ridata and especially Moser Baer discs (the latter sold right now under the Sony label) - I was pleasantly surprised by how well these performed. Even at 16x, quality is pretty solid, especially on the iHAS124F, but also on the 7280S. (The BDR208M had a parity failure maximum of 5 in a few of the tests so I'd say it didn't keep up; average parity error rate was still OK though.) I found there to be a quality advantage when dropping down to a burn speed of 8x, but the difference between 16x and 12x seems to be marginal (or even sometimes detrimental). There also seems to be little advantage of burning at 6x instead of 8x. In general, for all the drives, the average parity error rate didn't really change much as I used faster burn speeds, but the max parity failure number usually went up when jumping from 8x to 12x and above. In case anybody's interested, I've posted screenshots of my tests online that can be found by googling "Optodisc DVD-R myce" and looking at page 3 onward. In any case, if burn quality is important to you, you're on a budget, and have a relatively new burning drive, these appear to be a good option. tl;dr - no coasters, burns quickly and reads great.
