| |  | | DVD-R: Quality Media Storage
DVD-R is a Write-Once format with a storage lifetime intended for storing videos and archiving important business or personal data. Compared with CD-Rs, DVD-Rs offer more storage space and faster write times, making them a natural choice for preserving media and other large files. Each AmazonBasics DVD-R disk can record up to two hours of DVD quality video programming. A single DVD-R can also hold three hours of VHS-quality video or more than 60 hours of MP3 audio. DVD-R Compatibility
There are two types of recordable DVD disks available. Almost all recent DVD players and drives can handle both burned DVD-R and DVD+R disks, but some older players can only read one format or the otherIt is important to check your player’s manual to determine which DVD type it supports. 16X Write Speed and Organic Dye: Built for Fast, Accurate Writing
AmazonBasics DVD-R disks enable fast write speeds from 2.4X to 16X (16X is maximum. Burning speed will fluctuate.) for quick, clean data transfer. (To take full advantage of these speeds, your DVD burner must burn at speeds of at least 16X. Consult your computer or DVD burner product manual for this information.) At 16X, transfer speed translates to 21.60 MB/s, which means that you can burn a full disk in less than four minutes. The organic dye used on the write side of these DVD-Rs provides stable writing at high speeds for reliable, accurate finished disks. AmazonBasics: Quality Products at Low Prices

Decent disks but not good with some burners July 22, 2010
Susan Williams
This is the best bang for the buck I've seen for recordable DVDs, provided that they work well with your DVD burner. I have a Memorex 16x DVD-R DL/DVD-Rewritable burner which I bought maybe 8 years ago, but has always worked quite well and I use for practically all of my burning. However these particular discs would burn normally part way then fail for some reason when I burned discs at maximum speed with PowerISO and perhaps also the Windows DVD burning utility. This happened every time I used my Memorex burner, but I didn't want to waste discs trying to figure out the "perfect" parameters to make these discs work with that drive. My Memorex burner has worked flawlessly with Verbatim, Memorex, Maxell and Sony discs in the past BTW. On the other hand, when using my Dell Latitude D830's internal TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632H burner with the same programs, the Amazon discs worked faithfully every instance that I can recall. I'm not an expert on this, so perhaps there is something about this disc + Memorex burner combination that makes them incompatible yet the disc + Dell burner compatible? So I guess you have to take a risk if trying these for the first time, or perhaps see if another reviewer with the same burner was able to make it work. Now the Amazon DVD-R DLs are an ESPECIALLY great deal, but since my Memorex drive is my only DL burner I am especially hesitant to waste money trying those...;_;

tried about 5 or 6 of them, all failed, in several different burners, while other brand of DVD-Rs work all right. The rest of them are going to trash.
 High Error Rate for Burned Video July 17, 2010
Jobba (San Francisco)
We have used about 10 of these for burning videos, and 2 have already failed. Within 10 minutes of play, the brand new dvds freeze and stop playing. We tried 3 different players, same problem at the same time, with both dvd's.
We ordered a different kind and will be throwing these away since they are totally unreliable.
If you are okay with a percentage of failures, then these are a good price. Hence the two stars. But if you want reliability, keep looking.
 good July 16, 2010

I ordered the DVD +R and received the DVD-R, okay this time but would like only what I ordered
Can't trust them for backup July 15, 2010

I don't know and don't particularly care about write speeds. I've had no problems at all burning to these DVDs, so I expected no problems in reading the DVDs. So far there have been 3 DVDs that are just not even recognized to be in the drive. I've lost count of the number of DVDs that the drive has had trouble reading. Some of the DVDs I've had to try 4 times before it would recognize it and read the data. However, the other brand DVDs haven't had any problems. I am Not A Happy Customer at this point, but what is the point of having a warranty on DVDs, if they write, but you can't read the data off of them, you're still just as screwed.
Buy the Verbatims.
