TDK16x DVD+R Lightscribe 30 Pack Spindle: Customer Reviews & Product Details

nice if you just want it for computer, I don't know about all dvd players but it wat not compatible with mine

I've been using LightScribe discs for a few years now and have found them all to be about the same. TDK has been producing media for a long time (tape and discs) and I find their products are usually very reliable.

Typically, I use Verbatim discs because I can find them locally and don't have to wait for online shipping when I need them. But these TDK's work just as well and the low price (plus free shipping option) makes these discs an exceptional buy.

It should be noted that not all LightScribe discs work the same in all recorders, and it's best to experiment to find the brand that works best for your recorder. I find my LG recorder does a better job with Verbatim discs, while my LiteOn drives handles most discs about the same.

I've used a few hundred of these TDK LightScribe discs and have never produced a coaster. They seem to be very reliable discs.

Update: I've purchased a new Samsung internal lightscribe drive, and my results with this media are greatly improved. Single burns are very nice quality now.

Previous review: TDK media records fine, but the lightscribe burning has pretty poor contrast. I've resorted to double burning to get the same results as a single burn with Verbatim lightscribe media. Even the double burns aren't great since they can leave the final image with unevenness and a little bit of a dot-matrix look. Next time I'll go back to Verbatim. [fyi: the lightscribe drive used originially was an external USB drive]

Love these things. This was an excellent price for the quantity received. The quality is comparable to more expensive brands.

Don't know when I'll be receiving this. Amazon has very bad shipping habits. Say they're mailing it out via USPS and provide a USPS tracking number. The when checking the USPS site, the tracking number is invalid! Customer support says it was handed off to FedEX! Which will inturn hand it off to my local USPS office, to be delivered to me.

DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON!
