Manufacturer of Amazon CDs/DVDs? Does anybody know who produces these for Amazon? This would indicate the reliabilty of these discs.

http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htmGo to the above link and you will see that UME is in the Third class rating.I have used this site and find them to be very reliable in their report research.Stay with the First class section in bold print and you should have no trouble. The time, effort & money wasted on inferior product to save $ usually cost you more in the end. I have 65 years of experience!

Sounds like the 'old' DVD bruner needs to be replaced. If you were getting perfect recording using Amazon Basics and now you are not could be many things..1.) new vendor making the DVDs for Amazon, 2.)bad quality controls on that batch and many other production problems. OR it could just be that your burner is NOT functioning up to specs--get a new DVD burner.Do your research and get quality vs cheap same goes for blank DVDsThe below link will give you factual info on DVD media:http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htmGood hunting

I did a web search and found that they are manufactured in Japan, Taiwan, and Luxemburg. So, whatever you buy, your guess is as good as mine as to origin. Here's a web site that gives country of origin for various DVDs: http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm

Hi! These are in fact different than CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs are meant to be rewritten. Some burners require an audio specific type of disc like these. These are produced by Sony and while they work in a wide range of units and burners I wouldn't be able to say with 100% certainty they will work in every single one out there.Thanks!

I can only comment based on my experience of over 10 years and thousands of DVD-Rs and DVD+R DL; some optical drive burners have problems burning to certain manufacturers' blank discs. My Plextor won't even recognize the presence of TDK brand discs. The LG Blu-ray burner will burn to Optimum DVD+DL discs but the results are always questionable; during playback the player can't find the second layer. I quit using Optimum brand discs as a result. And I've had DVD burners that worked like a champ for three or four years that suddenly started screwing up requiring their replacement. Nothing electronic works forever. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer to your problem.

You need to check on the packaging if she refers to CD or DVD. There are the two options.I bought DVD. The quality is excellent. The impression on the surface of the DVD is excellent. You can purchase you won't regret it, but check the specifications. Do you want to buy CDs or DVDs? Note before you buy.

Sharp tells me that they have problems with Warner Bros discs and are working on new firmware to fix the problem. A Warner Bros marketing person in LA sent me a Harry Potter Blu-Ray to test, and it too was rejected as incompatible. The player handles old DVDs and those I make myself. But then we have you and others who've posted and tell me that Planet Earth is fine on their Aquos player. So maybe the problem is the unit. I'll eventually find out and let everyone know.

That's a good question. I've only made DVDs so I don't know about CDs (wish I had one so I could make it & see) but I can tell you the duplicate DVD is exactly like the one I burn it from, witn the same exact tracks.

Do these CDs work in other players? If so, it's likely that this particular CD player needs to be cleaned. CD cleaning discs are sold in most retailers and also on Amazon.com.

I wrote a review about how awful these are, how they fail to record when used with a DVD recorder used to record off of television. Esp. knowing that Sony's other DVD-Rs with the white-label top, intended for printing on top, are perfectly stable and work fine ALL the time. So, while I can't address your particular optical drive burner issue, I think we're dealing with BAD DVDs here that work on limited equipment--at best. The fact that a bunch of people here say they work well doesn't negate the fact that they simply don't work AT ALL on many other people's equipment.

I looked on everything that has printing on these discs including the packaging, and nowhere is the word "Umedisc" written on either the discs themselves or the packaging. They just say Optical Quantum and what I do know for certain is that I received 100 discs that don't work. My assumption is based on using approximately 15 of them from different positions in the package and there are 100% failures. My batch of Verbatim's that I just purchased are all working perfectly. By the way, the Verbatim's are available from a source other than Amazon for less money than Amazon charges. So shop wisely and carefully!

Cheapest place is wallmart. Amazon sells the. As well. The green disks are cheapest. The red shoot the furthest and last longer. The white glows in the dark (if u have that model). All disks fit in all the different disk guns in this series. I would goto Walmart for red disks. Their worth the extra couple bucks. Maybe Amazon has them at a decent price now. I have not purchased for sometime.

I have burned, erased, and re-wrote (is that a real term?) and have had no problems. I did find that although they play in my CD player in my truck, they won't play in the disc changer in the same truck. Go figure! I would recommend them and when I run out, I will be buying more of the same.

Hello Starr, I'm not sure however I have copied all types of cd's and dvd's. My favorite has been Memorex DVD-R. Perfect copy quality.

I received a 2TB Hitachi on June 29th, 2010, and it was RETAIL packaging. I ordered direct from Amazon, not a reseller. I had no issues with the drive, and it is still running strong. It seems that some of the 1 star reviewers later in July got non-Retail boxes. I bought mine when Hitachi was offering a rebate, so I bet Amazon sold out of Retail packaged units by the time July rolled around. Looks like they have the item under investigation now...probably for the packaging.

There may have been an error by the supplier. In my case, their performance was flawless. So was Amazon.com's.

Wayne,I haven't been able to find this either, but I found this product on ebay and there was a (low-resolution) image of the discs, which might give you the answer you're looking for. Seems like a natural thing to include in the product information!Greg
