Manufacturer's Description
Now you can create, edit and archive home movies and digital photos while storing and accessing data from one disc. DVD-R discs capture all digital data brilliantly, and are large enough to hold oversized digital movie files. Sony DVD-R for one-time recording is a relatively inexpensive way to store data and prevent accidental erasure. They can hold 4.7GB of information, which makes it possible to record 120 minutes of MPEG2 video footage with outstanding picture quality.

So Slow
I do not usually have a problem with burning DVDs with my 12x drive and Roxio software nor do I see many coasters but these are so slow maximum 6x and speed up and down and had a coaster just four discs into my large backup project. I have rebooted twice but it's not a locked memory problem or anything on my computer, it's poor discs.

I will stick with Verbatim and had also been using TDK which were great until they went blue and I could not read the writing!

never miss
I only use sony dvds for one simple reason, they never let you down, and there are no reading issues with any drives once there full

18 dud disks out of 30...
Using my (Sony) DVD writer drive, I've been attempting to burn backup DVDs using these disks. Out of the 30 disks tried so far, 18 have completely failed to burn. 20 remain on the spindle, and I'm not very tempted to continue trying to use them.

Burning was tried at 4x (the speed of the drive) and, in some cases, I knocked the speed setting down to 2x, so it's not a speed issue. And it's not a problem with the drive itself either, since burning other brands of DVDs, including cheap "WorthIt" ones from Woolworth's which I've just bought to complete this backing up process, works absolutely fine.

These are possibly the worst DVD-Rs I've come across: A 60% failure rate is absolutely unacceptable - and I'd advise anybody to steer clear.
