Review on πŸ“€ 50-Pack Spindle of Amazon Basics 8.5GB 8x Blank DVD+R DL Disks by Darryl Montagna

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very delicate product

Recordable DVD9 discs are hard to find and usually a bit expensive, so I was happy to find this product. My experience with the 8.5GB Revain Basics DVD+R/DL was a bit disappointing. To get the most out of this product, you really need the perfect combination of hardware and software. I used a Sony laptop (Windows XP) with an external LG burner and an HP Envy 700 Tower (Windows 8.1) and the internal drive that came with it. Using ImgBurn alone resulted in a 50% coaster rate for this product. Express Burn wasn't much better. The discs usually failed the second level test and locked up my standalone DVD player during the test. Eventually I stumbled across a successful combination of using DVD Shrink to create the ISO file and ImgBurn to burn it (on an HP desktop). There are no stands with this combination yet. At least 50 diskettes are available here. Prepare to burn more than a few stands until you find the right combination for your system with this product.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Can be damaged
