I agree with the previous comment that these disks are too dark to write clearly on. I have stopped buying TDK disks for this reason alone. It’s a shame since my previous 50 disks all worked flawlessly(burned at 12x) and I do trust the brand.

Edit(2010): Thanks for the comment from C.Haynes, these disks are now a light blue. Seems like I can start buying them again.

I’ve used these discs exclusively for 4 years or so, since first owning a DVD recorder, originally on an early Sony model, then on several Panasonic machines. The discs have always worked perfectly, apart from latterly on the Sony, when the machine began identifying both clean part used and brand new discs as “dirty” and spat them out. Simultaneously the Panasonics were still (and still are) working perfectly with these discs.

As far as I am concerned I can thoroughly recommend them both for recording and longevity (to date). However, as noted by previous critics, the change to darker coloured writing surfaces (originally they were a more sensible pale blue) does sometimes lead to problems reading titles written even in black ink, especially in low light or reflected glare.
