Absolute rubbish - DO NOT BUY

This is absolute rubbish. The customer service I received was only matched by poor quality when I attempted to return these items after realizing how useless they were. Every disc I tried to burn a movie to failed. Everyone. It took me a few weeks to realize that the media was my problem, and then my comeback was over. To be honest this wasn't a typical return, it was a faulty product and should have been returned. DO NOT BUY.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not everything fits

wheels are ideal. Shooting at 8x is no problem, the printed label is very handy. BUT when I received the package the spindle it was in was sealed with tape and there was a 'damaged' sticker on the outside. The first 3 discs on top of the spindle were defective, two with incomplete data and one was a copy of the Arsenic and Old Lace retail DVD. strange. My mother is enjoying the film, two previously written but unsuccessful CDs have gone in the trash and I have 47 more CDs that seem fine.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • high price

Bad Experience - Accessories and Consumables

I had to return this when I got the second 'invalid media' message during recording. I estimate that 40% of the disc was not recognized by my computer during the burning process. I even changed the programs I use to make sure blank DVDs are the problem. After 3 different writing programs I'm pretty sure the problem was the spaces and not my PC. I have used Verbatim DVDs in the past and have never had this problem. I will not be buying from this seller again as this is the only time I have had…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Only available in white

Half of the pack is not recognized as a blank DVD.

The first half of the pack was fine, but then messages about inserting a blank floppy disk suddenly came up after the computer tried several times to recognize it first. I checked my driver for my DVD drive and ran a hardware test. Everything was fine so I tried another DVD not in this box and it was recognized immediately. So now I've paid for 50 blank DVDs and ended up getting about 25 usable ones. Everything else is garbage and should be discarded. I have two different computers and both are

defective discs will fit DVD+R discs

Like some other reviewers, I bought this cheap thinking I got a lot of good quality Verbatim discs. Also, like several other reviewers, I had failure issues with these Life Series drives almost immediately. The first drive I used worked fine, but the next two came out with an ERROR. I tried them on two different computers and on a separate VHS/DVD burner. I've tried a few more discs with exactly a 50% success rate. Now I'm just going to use them all as coasters because if there are so many…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Modern
