Review of Kodak DVD+R DL 8X 8.5GB Double Layer Media 200 Pack in Cake Box (50121)

This was the best value that I found anywhere. Other places (Internet and stores) wanted more money for less disks. I have had no problem whatsoever burning my videos and data to the disks. Excellent value.

Standard DVD player reads these well. With 8 gig you can store half a season of tv series.
Xbox360 wouldn't recognize about 25% of these disks though.
Shipped free and fast and looked well packaged in styrofoam peanuts - SuperMedia did a good job there. But the post office must have had gorillas tossing the box around pretty hard. The plastic case was busted, and that's hard to do.

PROS:
Great Price
On-Time
Good packaging
Great Selection to pick from

CONS:
The disks themselves are just an ugly Kodak Yellow.

The Kodak discs DVD+R DL 8X seem to work okay, no bad writes yet. Only issue I have is that they are yellow on the label side. Does not make for wrting on them as good, as you have to use a thicker marker or a lable. (I use labels) The plain ones are better for using the marker.

Also, I ordered 2 each 50 unit spools, and one of the plastic spools was broken on the bottom. Looks like it ws dropped BEFORE being placed into the box. Packaging was perfect, so not the carriers fault (UPS Ground). It was put into the box damaged. Not a big deal, as I just reused my last spool. But for someone who did not have an empty spool, this would have been an issue.

Otherwsie all is okay.

Will buy again from this vendor.

These DVDs have the ugliest label side on them Ive ever seen! Its this obnoxious 'kodak' repeated on vomit yellow. They only leave you one small little area to label the disc, which of course does not stand out as it is surrounded by the word kodak 5 thousand times. Definitely spend a small amount more and get some other brand that has a more traditional, simple label side.

Unlike most brands of DVD discs that are usually silver with some type of subtle branding, these discs are just gross. They are a bright yellow/orange, with the word "Kodak" spiraling around and around the disc, in ever decreasing size, from the outside of the disc to the center. Aside from their truly gross appearance, more than 50% of these discs fail. I would never recommend or buy this product again.

I could pay more, but there would be nothing to gain.These disks are of the highest quality, and unlike other 50 pack spindles from which I had to throw out an aerage of 5 disks out of 50, I have not gotten one bad disk and have used one full 50 pk and am now on my second 50 disk spindle. FIVE stars our of fie.

I am very happy with every aspect of my shopping experience.. I will most definitely be shopping here again!

Been using MEMOREX had alot of problems with the duel layer, Kodack no problems at all with any of the layering seem to be a good product can tell you more after a another spindle

I recently switched from Memorex DVD's to these Kodak DL DVD's because they cost less. I was surprised when I went through my first 50 pack of Kodak DVD's and they all burned successfully. I'm used to throwing away atleast 3 Memorex DVD's per pack of 50 Memorex due to write errors. I'm sticking with Kodak. I've burned over 400 Kodak DVD's at 6x and still haven't had one wasted DVD.
