Digital camera reviews of IMATION 18059 16x DVD-R (100-ct Spindle)
Digital camera Review: I LIKE THE IMATION DVD'S BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NOT WHAT I RECEIVED
Summary: 2 Stars
I HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS SELLER. THEY DIDN'T SHIP OUT THE PRODUCT FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY SAID THAT THEY DID. WHEN THE PRODUCT CAME IT HAD BEEN SHIPPED THE DAY I CONTACTED THEM. BUT THE WORST PART WAS THAT THEY SENT ME THE WRONG SPINDLE OF DVD'S. SO I NEVER RECEIVED THE IMATION'S LIKE I ORDERED.Digital camera Review: Most widely readable discs
Summary: 5 Stars
After experimenting with many brands, and having produced thousands of professionally filmed and edited discs, we've found these Imation discs to be the most consistant in playability. The greatest headache of producing custom DVD's is the fact that no player is exactly like the next one. Each machine is individual in it's laser and it's capabilities. A particular disc may play in one machine but will not play in an identical machine. That being said, since we've been using these Imation discs we've had much fewer problems in playability.Digital camera Review: No Problems With Recording Or Playback

"Imation" DVD-R"
Now, that I've stepped into the 21st Century, and learned how to work my DVD recorder, I have been having a field day, transferring all my old taped from TV, VHS films to disc. I was upgrading them by buying the DVDs for the past few years. These transfers may not be as pristene as the big studio transfers, but these discs do the job well. I started out using a name brand like Maxell, but when I saw these on sale at Walmart(even a few dollars less then here), the price difference between these and the name brand was big enough to make me try these. They are sold in various size spindles, 10, 25 50, 100, but the best deals are the larger spindles.
I have transferred many,many films using these Imation discs already, and have not had one problem with these discs. They format in seconds, recorded without any problems and playback looked pretty good to me. No different then the more expensive brands. You have to set the recording mode(through the DVD recorder) to the length you want. The longer the length, the less of a quality playback you will get. 60 minutes will give you HQ, the best quality(if you are taping say a TV program or home movies), SP is 120 minutes, which still looks pretty good, LP is 3 hours, you will start to notice a difference here in both picture and sound, and EP is 4 hours, which is the lowest quality. All modes actually go a few minutes longer. After viewing them you can decide for yourself, which is the longest you want to go, according to how particular you are. I find that if I am recording a film that is over 3 hours, I split the film into 2 discs and use the shortest mode possible for those 2. Also if you don't use all the time alloted for the mode you chose, you can still record with the amount of time you have left in ANY mode, you can change it if you want. Your edit screen on your recorder should let you know that info. But DVD-R cannot be rerecorded over the same space. DVD RW can.Oh and- be sure to finalize through your recorder when you are finished with each disc, as they probably won't play on other DVD players if not.
I think for my favorites, films I will watch over and over,those that I want to admire the pristene cinematography, and films that were not the greatest recording in the first place, I will still buy the studio release DVD, but for the most part, and for my purposes, these Imation discs, do the job,cost less, and I'm getting a heck of alot more space on my shelves.
Thanks and enjoy...Laurie
Digital camera Review: No coasters, no complaints!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these for use in my old Panasonic DVD Recorder (DMR-E85H). I have been using Imation discs for years (CD-R and DVD-R) and I have never had any compatibility problem with them at all, unlike with other brands. I am really impressed that I can still buy these modern DVD-R media from Imation that work with my old recorder. That's quality control! The 100-count spindle is the best buy if you do a lot of recording. No coasters, no complaints! Recommended!Digital camera Review: The Best
Summary: 5 Stars
No coasters. Imation are the best in my opinion. I have had one failure in a thousand writes, and that may have been a hardware or software issue. Pretty good considering a spindle of another name brand that I bought from our nation's largest retailer had 100% failure rate. And it makes me wonder why that retailer doesn't carry these anymore. Go figure.
