I've used many DVD's over the past 5 years - Sony, Verbatim, Memorex, HP, Kodak, etc. I use about 350 DVD's each year for work and personal use. I bought these Playo DVD-R's when Staples had them on sale (something like[$] for 60 after rebates). Even [$] was a waste. I was lucky to get 10% to burn - the rest were coasters. While others may have better luck, My Sony DVD burner could not make good use of these discs. Next time I'll gladly pay [$] for 100 Sony DVD-R's on sale.

I use Playo blank dvds to record movies and for backup.When this product is on sale, you can't beat the price after rebate for 60 disk spindls.I Bought 300 disks, (5 spindles), and used everyone.I had some burning issues, but I truly don't belive they were the disks, rather system related.I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, there is always room for improvement.[...]Graphics and IT Professional.

Makes lots of coasters
from Asheboro, NC on 10/18/2007
I've been using these discs exclusively ever since [...] started offering the rebates on them and I couldn't be more pleased. I get better results with less wasted discs with Playo DVDs than with any of the name brands I've used in the past. I have burned at least 800 of these and average 1 bad disc out of every 30. To the people who have complained of bad discs might I suggest that it is perhaps your burner or software causing failed and slow burns because they work great on my Intel MacBook and G4 Mac with Pioneer burner using Toast to burn with. Great discs at a great price, I highly recommend them to anyone.

I bought the DVD blanks when there was a rebate offered. So I paid about [$] for a pack of 60 DVD blanks great deal.

I used many packcages in the past including other brands. The DVDs from Playo are great for me to use in different applications. Thumb up!!!
from worcester, ma on 9/28/2007
excellent compatability!
from Deerfield, IL on 9/28/2007
The low price of the product is reflected in the number of "coasters" that were produced. This is annoying from the costs that were both financial (cost of the product) and wasted time (having to redo a recording). [...](Let the buyer beware!)
from Indiana on 9/28/2007
I would not recommend this product at all. I bought 9 packs of this product and I have thrown away 8 1/2 of them. Every single movie I burned using this product skipped. Not good.
from marietta, ga on 9/28/2007
Good DVD's
from New Jersey on 9/28/2007
The disks were fine; my only complaint is that, after buying nearly a dozen packages I discovered that, had I waited a few weeks more, they were on sale for almost half what I paid.
from Chicago on 9/28/2007
I was so disappointed. I returned the first spindle after the first 5 would not burn. Thes second spindle was only a little bit better.
from Birch Bay, WA on 9/28/2007
Prefer these DVDs to the "name brand" version - they are equivalent to the quality you get with Kirkland brand products [...].
from New York on 9/28/2007
Whhen will the next sale be for this brand of DVD-R's?
from Marietta, GA on 9/28/2007
Previous reviews plus the extremly low price had me convinced these discs were of low quality. What a surprise to burn more than 200 at the full 16x speed without a single coaster - using 3 different burners. Haven't found any problems reading them in any device yet either.
from palm beach FL on 9/7/2007
too many disk burn failures as compared to name brand disks
from LA, CA on 9/6/2007
The DVDs work in general, but not burning at its max speed of 16x. Sometimes it even error out at 8x. It is very reliable at 4x.

from Edmond, OK on 9/6/2007
Reliable and fast burn is all I needed and received from Playo DVD-R.
most of the burner with smart burn technology
would burn these dvds at 6.4x
which mean these dvds are good for speed upto 8x
dont try to burn them above 8x especially when u burn movies
from Northern Virginia on 7/30/2007
These comments apply to the Playo 16x DVD-R 60 pack spindle that are media coded MCC03RG20 (though probably not true Mitsubishi media). I have burned through an entire spindle at this point with zero coasters. I'm using two drives, the BenQ DW1650 and DW1655. My burn statistics rate "good", similar to Verbatim MCC03RG20 coded disks I have. Not the best burn statistics, but definitely solid, these will play on any drive or set top player. A few did take 12 minutes to burn at 8x (should have taken about 9 minutes), but this is minor. They have burned well at 16x and 12x, actually better than true Verbatim media, but I prefer the slower burn speeds. I have also re-scanned 6 month old burns and they have held up very well with insignificant degradation--better than most other media. The claimed 30 year archive life is probably true. I can't speak for the DVD+R media (reported to have an MCC004 code), but these are well worth it when they are on rebate. At full price, I'd look elsewhere and give them 3 stars, at the bargain prices they can sometimes be obtained at, a full bright shining 5 stars.
from Midlothian, VA on 7/29/2007
These work great, no problems, get the occassional bad disk, but you get these with all brands. Movies work great with no recording issues. Would buy them again anytime.
from California on 7/28/2007
Have just bought 4 more spindles. They are just fine on my two Pioneer 110D's.
from NJ on 7/27/2007
I had bought these DVDs, burned perfectly and played perfectly on my DVD player.
I got these when there was a rebate offer.
from denver, colorado on 7/17/2007
Great product. Used it on my Mad Dog DVD burner and didn't have any problems.
from Baldwinsville, NY on 7/16/2007
With media there is quite often a big difference in media quality from disc to disc. You may also find that sometimes the whole disc cannot be recorded to without major dips in the transfer speed. Playo DVD’s are ultra-budget level media. I have tested these discs on various DVD burners and they are never able to burn at the stated top speed and I have gotten a number of failed burns (coaster discs). A good general rule when purchasing media discs for your computer is to stay away from the “Made in China” media. They are the lowest quality discs you can find.
