These are great quality discs and reliable. I have had some that had a high fail rate but these have all worked just fine. Have recently transferred my family VHS to DVD and they worked so well in my recorder and played just fine. I also use them to transfer large amounts of my computer backup file, programs and photos so I don't have to use many CDS. They hold a ton of Photos and have saved me much grief when I have had virus crashes and lost everything on my drive as a result. Great value and great quality!

This is the second time I purchased this item. The first, back in 2010, I had no trouble. Only acouple of discs failed to be recordable. I had also purchased Staples +RW discs prior to that and had a problem or two (jerky recordings on 6hr speed and not finalizing). This time though with the DVD +R everything changed. About half way thru the spindle discs are failing in droves. So far, more than a dozen won't be recorded on at all failing in the prep stage. Another dozen recordings are made but 1/2 way to 2/3 thru the discs can't record any additional material and then won't finalize what is there.

It has become completely frustrating every time I reach for a new disc (I have around 50 blanks left) it is with dread. On a few I have even recroded programs but can't get any of it to play back at all and the disc can't be recorded on anymore.

A few failing discs out of a hundred is understandable but this is ridiculous. I might not have spent much money but I expect whatever the price I am charged for a product it will deliver as it should. Even an inexpensive product should have decent reliabilty. NOT cause me to pull my hair out.

Staples must have no quality control at all at the manufacturing level of these discs and I will never by any version of Staples DVDs ever again. As it is what I have left now is a bunch of trash and I am thru. Very Disappointing.

    Comments about Staples® 100/Pack 4.7GB DVD+R, Spindle:

    I bought these discs due to their value. However, I've found over the last year that this product is less than adequate for the job. Every month when I go to back up my files I end up tossing about 10 discs in the trash because my Sony DVD-RW:DRU830A drive is not able to read them. I use Nero to backup my files and everything works fine if the disc is read. I ran a Sony test on the drive and it checked out fine. I strongly recommend staying away from Staples brand media.

            Well, I have used HP and Sony branded DVDs. They work great on my computer. Because of the better pricing, I decided to try Staples Brand and found that they were equal to the more expensive brands. I have recorded well over 200 DVDs and I have never had a problem with any of them. My advice is to save yourself some money and buy Staples DVDs, but be smart and buy them when they are on sale.

                  A:

                  DVD-R and DVD+R were at one point a competing format, there really is no difference between the 2 formats. All drives in the last 3-4 years support both formats, if the drive is older than that, ask the customer what symbol is on their drive

                  A:

                  DvD-R: Write once, better for Video as widely accepted by home DvD players.\n\nDvD+R: Write once BUT data can be added later (not RW, but still accessible). Better for data as most Computer DvD players can read it and you can fill half the disk, then add a quarter, and the complete it a year later (as an example).

                  A:

                  DVD+R is a better format that is more robust and should work well with any DVD burner that is not ancient. You also have to consider yoru audience of DVDs you burn; if your family or friends have old DVD players, the DVD-R would be better. To find out, the DVD players/recorders have labels on them showing the various formats it can handle or the owner's manuals. For more detail, just Google "DVD Formats" for the technical explanations.
