I have tried over 100 of these compusa dvd+r 4x discs in my hp200i and plextor 708a. Not a single one ever burned right. The video would become blocky and play back would become choppy and freeze ups would occurr as you got further into the movies. Changed to memorex and verbatims and haven't had any problems

Every movie appears to burn fine, but during disc verification, Nero almost always returns errors on one file. At the point of the error, on playback in DVD player, there are large blocks and chunks on the screen and sound is horrible. Minor skipping may occur. Junk. I've learned my lesson, you get what you pay for. I did the same burn with Memorex 4x +R and had no errors.

Updating my previous comments -- I changed my DVD writer from the HP 300i to the Pioneer DVR-A06U and now I can make copies of my Comp USA copies. I.E. copy movies I had already shrunk and copied to Comp USA discs back to the hard drive, then make new copies. This able to copy copies may seem unimportant, but it was important enough to me to switch DVD writers (and I had spent more on copying at this point than on the writer itself). After reading the information at this site I concluded the problem was the writer more than the media. That turned out to be the case and the problem is now solved. (Note I designated the wrong color for the media before).

While I haven't had any coasters with the Comp USA +R discs, they burn fine with my HP 300i, and play back fine on my Apex AD-1200, it took me two months to figure out that I couldn't make copies of my copies. When I use Memorex discs, I can make copies of my copies.
Power DVD will not play the Comp USA discs, DVD Shrink will not read the copies I've already made and neither will DVD ToolBox or DVD Decrypter. They all quit with errors about 1/4 or 1/2 way through reading them.
I wish I had realized this before. While it may not seem an important point, sometimes one wants to make copies of copies. The price is right, but that is a major drawback. About 2/3rds of the copies I have already made I used these discs, now I will not be able to recopy them at some future date if I need to. I have about eight left, guess I will use them up, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!!!
I am rather ticked off, actually.

Have a 25 pack and have tried to burn 11 and have gotton nothing but coasters with 3 diffrent burners. It seems that the burning that takes place toward the center of the disk is good but cannot burn all the way to the outside of the disk. Will only burn at less than 1.7x and will fail anywhere from 35% to 80 percent complete.

CRAP. Got them cheap, and they aren't worth it so far. Tried 3, they wouldn't even burn. My software (DVD-Lab) just sat there for over an hour and didn't budge. I removed the CrapUSA disc, put in a Fuji, burned fine. On the 2nd and 3rd try, I put in a Philips and it burned fine. So it is not the software or the drive, but the CRAPPY DISC! (that is probably why they were on sale!)
I have a Sony DRU510a with 1.0C in it. I may do the upgrade to 1.0d and try again. Or i may just return them.

DVD-Lab does not tell me the burning speed, so I just guessed at 1x. I'm not sure what it tried to use.
(BTW, I recommend all of the above software packages!! Studio is buggy, but I primarily use it for capture and scene selection. Canopus ProCoder is FANTASTIC. DVD-Lab is very versatile.) |

Good quality. Compatible with everything so far. Look out for bad discs in every package though. I open and check them at the register. The +RW are worse. Tape your receipt to the cakebox or your screwed if one is bad and you have no receipt.

Very poor media. It writes fine on my Lite-On drive, but I started playing it back on a Samsung DVD player, and the more I played, the worse things got. If I replayed a section of the movie, it would chop and have all kinds of blocks on the screen from decompression errors.

Absolute junk. Bought a spindle of 50 thinking to save some money and they all are crap. They seem to burn fine but with playback on several outboards they fail and pause at the end of all the movies. RUN AWAY from these sub standards!

This is one of the few alternatives for DVD+R discs outside of Ritek (Ricoh) and CMC choices. Optodisc seemed to provide the Grade-B stuff for CompUSA, and the quality is OK at best, although CompUSA does provide a 90-day warranty in case something goes wrong. Personally I wouldn't pay more than $1 for this brand and only consider buying them when they are on sale.

Very cheap media only $3.00 for a 2-pack everyday. It works all right. The first time I tried to burn this it didn't work without upgrading my firmware so I may have damaged the DVD when I tried. I'm going to try burning another one.
