50 Pack Imation DVD+R DL Dual Layer 8X 8.5GB DVD Plus R Double Layer White Inkjet Hub Printable Blank Media Data Movie Game Recordable Disc

Have been using Imation for a number of years, without any problems or noticeable degradation. I would recommend to anyone needing a dual layer media.

Ordered these to start buring DVDs of family videos that I converted from videotape to digital. I also do videos for our church and planned to use them for that too. Had a number of things come up that delayed my using them for months after buying them and of course the window to return them closed. Opened them this evening to burn three DVDs and hit with a strong chemical smell and every DVD 50 out of 50 have a burning surface that is sticky and clouded up. I'm afraid to try to use them in my DVD burner. $30 in the garbage. Should never have ordered them as they were not sold nor shipped by Amazon. Will also never order another Imitation brand DVD or CD.

Should have read the reviews.Discs are cloudy or fog like circle imperfections of the writing side. Discs fail verification.Even if they would verify, how long would they last. Obviously something is wrong with these discs, whether they were in a flood or stored in extreme cold or heat, but the seller keeps selling them, and they are bought because of the low price.

This stack of dvds appear to have been in a flood. Every disc from top to bottom are scarred with fog and smudges. 20% so far are unrecordable. Better to buy from a reputable dealer rather than on line

Disks were cloudy and sticky. Drive did recognize them.

After using at least 200 Verbatim DVD+Rs I thought I'd save a few dollars. BIG MISTAKE!In the first spindle of 50, there was a strong odor of solvents and the edges of the discs were and remained sticky. I threw away least 6 of the discs, whereas in the Verbatim discs it was 1 or 2 per 50.I just started the 2nd package. Less of the odor, but the playing surfaces are sticky. And I went through 10 duds in a row before I skipped to the center of the pile to find a good one.In the cases of the duds, you could see scratches and cloudy areas, and the imprint of small circles all over the disc. darker blue areas sometimes appeared at the inside start of the track area.ADDENDUM: I've cleared through the whole package of 50 and found that all but 5 were useless.

The first two or three discs I used seemed to work OK. I didn't need many at first so by the time I trying 'burning' more, it was past the return date. I am having a 90% failure rate on trying to create DVD's now. Generally the burn cycle will complete, then give an error on the verify. This is happening on different computers with different DVD burners so I know the hardware is not the issue. And the first few that 'seemed' to work, they started getting read errors when used later.I tried contacting the manufacturer from their website, no response. There is no number to call, you just fill out a web form.Buy a different brand.

The dvd's were completely useless. There was some kind of contamination on the recording surface. Refund was quickly given.
