Product Description

Sony has developed DVD+RW discs for storing all types of data and video content. Each disc can hold 4.7GB of information, which translates to more than two hours of high quality MPEG2 DVD video with outstanding picture quality. The discs are the perfect mates for the Sony DVD+RW Drive, so now users can edit or create a movie on a PC and view it on most DVD players.

this is actually 1x-4x, if you've got a recorder that takes 4x, this will not work. seller (ANTOnline)also refused to refund money.

I too have a Sony RDR-VX500 VCR/DVD Recorder and the formating only took 5-7 min. Another reviewer said that the formatting took over 40 min. This is not normal. Either a disc is defective or the recorder has malfunctioned. I had no problems so far.

There's one thing that customers need to be aware of: That is the difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I didn't think there was a difference, so I purchased a package of DVD-RW discs at Wal-mart. I learned the hard way that there is a difference. The DVD recorder will not create a menu on the DVD-RW discs. You can still create titles-but if you are playing the disc on a regular DVD player(I also have a Sony 5 disc DVD player)then playing the DVD-RW Disc is nearly impossiable. So when buying RW discs or R discs-Make sure you see the+sign. Either the DVD+R or the DVD+RW. It's the differnce between a menu or no menu. Just be careful.

I'm no expert in the field-I'm a buyer with experience.

I'm converting my very large tape library to disk and while filling the first fifty or so I've never had a problem with this product and I'm buying another stack. If the other guy who wrote a review had formatting problems he should take his defective machine back to the store and not blame the manufacturer of these excellent disks.

Nice!.......2006-08-22

I haven't had any problems so far with any of the discs I used with my Lite-On dvd recorder.

Do not purchase this if you own a SonyRDR-VX500 DVD/Cassette Recorder, I just put one of them in my DVD recorder, and like all other new DVD RW discs they have to be formatted, which is no problem but this Sony DVD RW has been formatting now for over 40 minutes, I don't know if it is just the one disc, but my recorder is locked up, cant shut it down, stop the format, change channels, do anything... I have been using Memorex DVD RW's and have had no problems recording or formatting them (format takes about one minute)

I assumed that being a Sony disc in a Sony recorder would be a good thing, but from this problem I will stick with Memorex DVD RW's from now on.

While I was waiting I formatted one in my computer with Nero and in less than two minutes it formatted fine, so if you want them for your PC they seem to be OK.

Now I am off to unplug my DVD recorder
