Good Product
By Bill on 04/27/2011
I've have good results with FTI FalconMedia Pro DVD media and would buy again. I have tried the Titan brand media and ended up with several coasters or they did no play properly compared to the FTI Falcon Media Pro. Sometimes the cheaper brand isn't better.

Operating in a preponderance of faith
By Denise E on 04/03/2011
The product is not as good as we expected. My husband reported getting two bad discs for every good one - don't know wny, because we've been using both the product and the supplier for quite some time and never experienced a problem with either - which is the source for our continued loyalty. Also, we miss the glossy version of this product. If the company still produces it, bring it back. If not, please request that they do.

Just right for the job!
By Jim on 03/06/2011
I have been using this media for the past couple of years & have had only 1 bad burn. I am not even sure it was the fault of the media or just an error in burning. I used to always use another brand(Vxxxxxxx), but decided to try this brand. I was pleasantly surprised at the results and the cost difference made it even better. If I had one complaint it would be in the print surface. Colors are quite a vibrant, but I can live with that.

They seem to work fine
By Tom on 01/23/2011
Have only burned a few discs to date, I had one fail, but it appeared to be one of my drives may have been the culprit. It has been replaced and subsequent burns have been good. Only time will tell if they will hold up. I have tried other 'lower cost than Verbatim' discs and had nothing but coasters. These seem to be the ones I'll use.

There OK
By Richard E on 01/18/2011
Have only used one other DV DVD type and they worked great on these same DVD writers. These perform well most of the time, but lately I have had about 10 failures to write with a "media" problem stated.

Not certain why. Will try another type next time.

I've been using these for about 2 years now. I haven't had many of these fail on me. I see about a 92% success rate with these disc. The print surface is great and my labels always come out with vivid, sharply detailed, brightly colored images from my HP c309a printer. Thanks SMS!

By Steve on 12/15/2010
I've gone through about 250 of these discs. I burned 5 coasters before realizing my old burner was dead, and not another one since. I haven't seen any other hub printable Dual-Layer discs that even come close to this in terms of price or quality. They print really nicely too.

FalconMedia Pro White Inkjet Hub Printable 8X DVD+ Dule Layer Media, 50 Pack Cake Box
By Michael Wydra on 10/26/2010
I purchased "FalconMedia Pro White Inkjet Hub Printable 8X DVD+ Dule Layer Media, 50 Pack Cake Box. I had really wanted "Taiyo Yuden Dule Layer," but none were available on your site.

The very first FalconMedia disc failed to copy. I looked at the "new coster" I'd made and saw that the dye coverage was flawed near the edge of the disc. The next new disc off the hub looked good, and copied fine. Five discs later, I had another failure, and the back of the disc showed the same poor dye coverage near the edge of the disc. I haven't looked at the dye coverage on the rest of the 50 hub stack, but I will look carefully at each new one before I copy. The bad one's show up by careful examination. It's to bad that "FalconMedia" has a manufactering problem with the dye coating, because otherwise, it's printable surface is great... Unfortionately, I won't be buying these disc's again - I'd rather pay a higher price for quality.

By Douglas on 10/23/2010
It has been 6 months since I received my order. So far 50% of the product has been used with no errors whatsoever. I use a Plextor PX 810sa to read/write the media driven by a 3.00 Gb processor and XP x64 edition.

I have set the options in the write program to limit the write speed to 8x to avoid any possibility of write errors.

Works just fine, except
By William on 10/11/2010
I generally have used Verbatim DL DVD+R discs, but I thought I'd try these at less than 1/2 the price. They work very well though I cannot record at 6x. At 8x I get too many coasters. Recording at 4x so far has been flawless, however; so, I have reordered them. To be fair, recording the Verbatim discs at 8x has the same problems, so those I record at 6x - a bit faster is all, but not appreciably better.

I have used already several of these disks. They are error-free, the copies are beautiful, and the print quality of the labels I designed was spectacular. Also, I ordered on line and received the disks in three days. What more could one ask for? I have ordered from SuperMediaStore in the past and will continue to do so. Great people to deal with and their sales are worth checking regularly.

Loveable, dependable and affordable
By Denise E on 06/22/2010
Our love affair with the FTI FalconMedia Pro White Inkjet Hub Printable 8X DVD+R Double Layer Media is two-fold, or maybe three. My husband loves the benefit of double layer because he can "pack a lot more" onto it. I love the texture and quality of my photos on the printed disc, and we both love the tiny little "hub-printable" hole in the middle that allows more of what we do to be seen even before the content is started. Then there is the more practical part of the review, that they are dependable and affordable. So they score with us across the board, and there is no better place to buy them from than Supermedia Store, who has given us several years of personalized professional service.

Very Reliable
By Jonathan on 04/01/2010
I've bought a bunch of these now, from here and elsewhere, and it continues to be very reliable media. Had a problem with a batch after switching to Windows 7 64-bit, but then realized it was likely more the fault of my old DVD burners. Sure enough, after switching to burners that I knew had a good rep for compatibility with this OS, I didn't have any more problems with the discs. I usually go through a batch of 50 like this without a single coaster. Print great too.

By RICHARD on 03/02/2010
Ordered a 50 pack and burned 30 so far. Works good except in one older LiteOn burner which speeds up to a roar and makes coasters. These are made in UAE but the quality seem comparable to some Memorex DL discs I have burned. Top burning speed on my internal and external HP and LiteOn burners is 4x on a quadcore HP pc with Windows 7 32bit os. I use Nero and DVDFab burning applications.
Delivery time is excellent as usual from SuperMediaStore.

As I stated in my other review aboout the FTI DVD-R units, I am amazed at the PRICE and Quality of these DVD+R 8.5 gb dual layer discs. Out of a box of 50 I had one coaster, the last disc. The recording quality, speed and playback of these discs is as good as the Verbs I used to buy at twice the price. I use the hub printable version and find it to perform quite good as well. Highly recommend---GO SMS!!!!!!!

By Michael on 03/01/2010
I have always used the ole standby TY, Linkyo, Verbs and an occasional Memorex or HP. When these hit the screen at SMS I read the few reviews available and gave it a shot. I was amazed. No coasters out of a spindle of 100, the printable surface is excellent and playback is as good as it gets.

Good but slow it down, baby!
By Jerry on 02/26/2010
These discs were great as long as I burned at absolute slowest speed that my Primera BravoSE would allow. When I burned over 2.4x failure was all but emminant. It takes forever to burn a disc at that speed - and the package does state 8x but good luck. I tried speeds over 2.4x five times and had five coasters. Bud-a-bing, bud-a-bang, Pavlo learned his lesson in only five tries! Still, I'd buy them again because when they burn, they print and play well.

By Jerry on 02/26/2010
These discs work well when I burned at 4x (as I usually do). In a rush I used 8x a few times and wound up with a couple of coasters. I'm not fond of the cheap plastic wrap with no spindle (if it rips you'll have discs everywhere)...but I'm just being picky. I'd buy them again so that's all that really matters, right?

Best Dual-Layer DVD+ Media for the Buck!
By Jonathan on 02/24/2010
I've burned through hundreds of these. I only experienced problems with a handful AFTER I switched to Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm leaning towards blaming that on the OS/drivers, since I've had trouble with other brands of dual-layer media also - burning with two different burners.

Prints done on these with my Epson look fantastic. Everyone is always going on about how Verbatim is the best, and maybe they are for very valuable data that you want to last for many years, but these are great for most people's burning needs. Considering how many discs I burn, I can't afford Verbatim!

I see a lot of reviews here that praise these DVD's, but only give them three or four stars. Makes me wonder what they'd have do to earn the missing stars - cook breakfast for the person? ;)

Supermedia does a great job packaging these and getting them out quickly.
