I have had a pack of these for a while and they are just terrible. I use a nice NEC DVD burner which is considered by burning pundits (they exist!) to be a really good drive. It's given me no problems ever, except with these disks. After the first burn they work fine but any subsequent burn they are tempermental at best and often do not work at all. Although I can quick-erase (or do a longer erase) and then burn a compilation, the data verification fails most of the time. Ignoring that, and trying to use the CD anyway, results in inconsistent, but generally bad results. For instance, my DVD player (which has had no problems with other media) can kind of run these disks but other CD drives cannot.All in all a major disappointment. My burner can do CD-RW at 24X but even burning these at 16X on a fresh disk results in similar results. They are essentially very expensive one-time use CD-Rs.
