What our customer's say!

"Wonderfulexperience wonderful product", After spending 35 hours converting many family video tapes to DVD,
for our children and grandchildren. I wanted to put them on a media
that would be safe for MANY (30) years to come. I also wanted to print direct to the DVD's using my Ink Jet Printer. A good friend who is a VAR put me onto this product, and the process of not making labels by using this product to be able to print direct to the DVD, eliminating the chance of ruining our DVD players. The results were GREAT, our grand children are enjoying reviewing their childhood. I also learned what great parents our children are. But now I have many requests to do the same for the rest of the family. This speaks to the reaction of the whole family.

"Good product", I bought 2 50pk Sindles and used about 70 of them, none of them were defective. Good pruduct !

"Perfect!", I've burned and printed on about 20 of these fo far without a single issue. Great price for the quality you get.

"Excellent on my Epson printer", I have an Epson R-380 that use Claria high definition inks and these blank printable DVDs provide excellent results. Just access the printable DVD program and create profession results.

Remember, you must have a printer that accept these printable discs! My R-380 printer prints these things up effortlessly.

I've bought these 50 spindle sets twice now and have had no problem with the quality, either on the printable surface or the recording side.

When I first started purchasing recordable DVDs, they cost several dollars each. Now you can buy these excellent printable ones for a fraction of that.

"DVD review", Use these DVD's for my TV ministry and the ability to 'paint' my label on them is a great witnessing tool. Have you accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior today? If not, just pray...Jesus I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Amen. Now find a good Bible Believing Church and know you have the Peace which passes all understanding though Christ Jesus!

"Verbatim remains a high quality brand", Since basically every other brand out there has turned to second and third tier DVD suppliers, Verbatim remains the lone hold out for those of us who want to reliably buy first tier quality blanks. These DataLifePlus blanks are supposed to have superior lifespan compared to other kinds, and I have some that I burned from three years ago that are still working fine. It's definitely worth a little extra to be able to burn once and never worry again.

I've burned about 20 of these DVDs so far without any problems, and I like the plain white top compared to the normally shiny and flashy designs.

Pros:
-High quality
-Long lifespan
-Plain white tops

Cons:
-None!

"Accept No Substitutes!", Sure they're a little more but so what? They are the best, most reliable discs and printable too!
BTW this review is for the DataLifePlus, NOT the DataLife which is not as good.

"Very pleased with this product", I am very pleased with this product. I recently purchased an HP printer that has the capability of direct media printing. This is my first experience with printable media. I am very happy with my choice of this particular product. I would highly recommend it.

"Useful", Definately a good buy. Very useful in update and backing up my collection and files.

"How I use the 2 best blank archival CD-R's and DVD-R's: DataLifePlus and MAM-A Gold", The $2 MAM-A Gold's seem the best value of 'gold' discs implied to last 100 years--while the 60-cent DataLifePlus's seem the only low-priced discs that similarly claim a superior base (metal azo) to lengthen data life. The DataLifePlus discs are inexpensive enough for all everyday uses. Thus answering the need that, even if it is just HBO movies, you probably prefer never to suffer the annoyance that your big pile of DVD's and all your trouble in making them might some day turn out to be useless.

My research notes:

--Please note that my interest is in compatibility and durability, not in fancy labels. I scribble my titles using a Delkin archival pen, or an acid-free Bic Mark-It Retractable which is available everywhere. (Note that only the 'retractable' version is labeled as 'acid-free'.)

--The durability of home-burned DVD's is not nearly as well proven as for CD's. Also, because the DVD system carries about 6 times the data, there is much less error tolerance. In other words, a 60-cent Verbatim DataLifePlus CD is rather certain to last 10 to 20 years, whereas we don't really know whether any DVD, 'gold' or otherwise, might possibly self-destruct in 5-10 years. (This is not likely but possible.) For the ultimate bid for eternity, a gold CD is certainly safer than a gold DVD.

--One reviewer finds that these Verbatim DataLifePlus 'White Inkjet Printable' discs are much more likely to fail to burn than another with a 'Shiny Surface.' If the 'shiny' version were as cheap and convenient to buy, I would try it. However, because Amazon offers a low price and free shipping, and no other reviewer reports this problem, I'll take my chances with the white version.

(June 2008 update. In January I said here that there might be a slight writing problem, but now I think there is no problem.)

--Another reviewer warns to beware of Verbatim ValueLife or DataLife discs without the 'Plus'. Sounds like good advice. Anyway, if you need a very good disc for only 40 cents after shipping, the clear choice of experts is Taiyo Yuden.

--Among the 'gold' or '100-year' discs: one reviewer says the Memorex $2 gold product is flimsy and will separate if bent slightly. Reviewers report that the Delkin gold discs have compatibility problems, and Delkins cost $3 if you want 'scratch armor.' Even assuming that this 'scratch armor' might be tougher than the MAM-A 'diamond coat' (at no extra cost)... yet after all, archival discs are for archiving! For use by children and in the car, just make an extra 60-cent copy using ValueLifePlus. Verbatim also has a 'gold' disc for about $2, but reviews are similarly lukewarm. There are not yet many reviews on 'gold' discs, so perhaps another disc may eventually seem as good as a MAM-A Gold. Nonetheless, I am convinced there is nothing better.

--'MINUS R' VS. +R. (We are not supposed to say 'minus R' but what clearer way is there to say...?) Putting it on one breath: so-called 'minus R' is the original system... and +R has theoretically better error tolerance... but which feature is not yet available... and maybe never will be... and meanwhile is a bit more likely to be incompatible... and they are on sale less often... and to stick with one format is to know that any new problems are not due to the format... so... forget about +R for me, though it probably just doesn't make any difference...

Conclusions:

. . . Use $1.25 MAM-A Gold CD's (not DVD's) for PHOTOS (and short CD-compatible videos) of weddings, babies, and graduations.
. . . Try $2.00 MAM-A Gold DVD's for VIDEOS of weddings, babies, and graduations. And for any other archival data that will not fit in CD's. (But if you want to be totally safe, make a second backup on a zip drive or hard drive, from which to re-burn to DVD every 10 years.)
. . . Use 60-cent Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD's for everyday copying of HBO etc., or for non-archival copies of large amounts of data for convenience or travel.
. . . Use 60-cent Verbatim DataLifePlus Crystal CD's for almost all other CD's, whether important or not. The price is always right and so is the quality! (Be sure to include the 'Crystal' scratch resistance feature.)
. . . Honorable mention goes to the 60-cent Maxell CD-R Pro. This seems to use a high quality version of the conventional base (cyanine) which after all is the most proven process, and adds a 'Triple Coated Scratch Resistance,' and claims 'superior archival life.' All for the right price. For important data, make two copies. The Maxell CD-R Pro seems a good choice for that second copy.
. . . For lots of cheap and reliable copies, consider the 40-cent Taiyo Yuden White CD-R and the 40-cent Taiyo Yuden Silver DVD-R.
. . . For the most critical data, use a MAM-A Gold DVD for a third backup of 6 CD's. This costs less than 6 more CD's, is more convenient and will 'probably' last as long if not longer. If this works as intended, it may give your great-great-grandchildren something to scratch their antennae over.
