Customer Reviews

Great with the right DVD recorder, not so good otherwise
Just to confirm what other reviewers have said - these discs come in a cartridge and getting them out is a bit of a pain. I've never actually done it though, because my parents and I both have Panasonic DMR-E50 DVD recorders which we bought in 2003. Machines of that vintage are designed to take these discs, so if you have one, then these discs work really well. Of course if you want to play them on any other machine, you'll need to get them out of the cartridge.

So if you've got the right machine, go ahead - otherwise, get some discs which don't come in a cartridge.

Understand what you require - rating not applicable in my case
Having recently bought a Panasonic DVD recorder, I recalled an insert advising the best media was Panasonic DVD RAM. Being new to DVD recorders I ordered the above believing they were just discs. Having re-read the manufacturers description onthe site "9.4GB DVD-RAM Double Sided Blank Disc with Caddy - 3 Pack" I still dont think I would have realised these are cartridge type discs. I suspect I would have interpreted the caddy as being a case to store the disc in. "Panasonic 3x speed, 9.4GB, double sided 3 pack DVD-RAM Disc".

Be warned you'll need a hammer and chisel...
...to open the plastic case housing these discs. Some genius at Panasonic has designed these discs to actually be inserted in a dvd machine still inside their plastic casing. I have to take them out of the casing to use them on my panasonic dvd recorder and I don't know of any machine on which you can leave the casing on. It's ridiculous. I only bought these because the price of Panasonic single discs has rocketed on Amazon but I'll never buy double sided discs again. You can't help getting fingermarks on them and if you get a duff disc, you've lost twice as much. I'll shop around for single sided discs elsewhere from now.
