Are these as good or equivalent to the "old" style Sony's-Blue packaging? I have a VHS/DVD recorder that is very temperamental about the discs used.

They are probably identical except for packaging color. You may need to see if your equipment requires +R or -R discs if it is older, but the DVD-R is most common.

Although I've upgraded my equipment, I did use these in my old burner which was also temperamental. It was one of the few that I'd used that would work. I knew these would work for me because I used to get them at my local Staples store. The prices are much better here though.

As far as I can tell they are as good. I have used 600 or more of these. The last ones I received came with a statement that they are discontinued.

When I first started buying these, they were just as good. Now they are not. I can't seem to find the Sony's Blue packaging in 100's. Now I see that Song has quit making these.

Don't know about yours but use maxwell and sony - on mine. Bought the maxwell on Amazon and they play great on my sony blue ray, pretty much as if they were recorded in he.

The standard carts are higher quality. I have gotten smudges from the black inkI don't have any experience with DVDs.

Yes but VCR tapes still look better but not like an up convert on a DVD. VCR is still not quality like blu-ray or DVD. Read all the reviews Your question is already answered.

I have a vcr/dvd combo unit that records both vcr's & dvd's & and yes these blank dvd's are some of the best medium you can purchase. I get a lot fewer coasters with verbatim than Memorex, tdk, & sony.

sad to say I don't use apple products, so I do not know. But I have been taking vhs tapes converting them to disk, and am well pleased with the quality of picture and sound. I have been using these disks only for short time. The cost was a big factor. I would like to assume if stored properly, and kept dry they will last.

No problem at all with these BD-R discs from Phillips. The dark dye they use has very high compatibility with consumer Blu-Ray players. 5 stars

I looked up the DR430KU manual on line but had hard time reading the print. My experience is to stay with Sony DVD recorders. They are the leaders, they helped set up the industry standards. MY first 2 recorders were Sony's. The 3 recorder was a Magnavox and I had alot trouble. I finally found manual info, the box was brand sensitive. I think the manufactures store alot info in the root directory. This purchase was for a DVD duplicator.One of the first 2 dvd's failed. The 3rd dvd worked. DVD's are susceptable to dust and finger prints. If at all possible find a readable copy of the manual. The manual copy I found I think was some 170 pages. Happy surfing.

As far as the quality of the product - yes. They are good quality and should record on any dvd recorder that has the capacity to record. If you are trying to transfer from VHS to DVD that is a technology problem. I recorded family movies from VHS to DVD but needed a special set up and recorder to do this. Trying to copy commercial VHS to DVD is much more difficult.

I just put files on my hard drive and use nero to make the dvd's they play much better than my dv recorder, and if I want to save and wait to get a blueray recorder I could always burn in hd, but they are a bit expensive the price will come down

The Value Disc BD-R 6X 25GB Blu-Ray 50 Pack Blank Discs are cheap enough I don't use rewritables. These discs work very well with this writer and they are about 50 cents each, or $23.95 for 50 pack. Value Disc BD-R 6X 25GB Blu-Ray 50 Pack Blank Discs in Spindle. Made in Taiwan

Yes, I have no problem recording up to 80 minutes of music on them. I have discs I recorded as far back as 2003 that play without drop-out.

I believe we are talking about the same thing. Yes I use them in my old video camera.

I've had mine for a while now and I haven't had any problems. It's a Western Digetal company so it has a good name. I've loaded my 4tb up with Blue Ray movies and I get beautiful results.

The ones I got sound like the old ones. Is there a difference besides the printing?

Since there's no way to be sure unless you order them, why not just order these (also on Amazon):http://www.amazon.com/Sony-25DPW47RS2-Re-Recordable-25-Pack-Spindle/dp/B0006OCP0I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid=1388942599&sr;=1-1&keywords;=sony+dvd%2Brw+discs

Yes, original Sony Trademarked packaging. I bought 3 as I wear these in bed with my Sony Walkman so I don't disturb my wife. I'm restless at night and this tends to break the headphone cable. I must have bought 20 or more units over the last 10 years from different suppliers. Mostly discontinued items from old stock I guess.
