2Harder to open than a jar of pickles!Apr 18, 2007
By KurtMac
While I can't comment on the quality of the disc itself (co-workers use these, not me), I can comment on how ridiculous the packaging design is!

I was approached by my co-workers for aid in opening the spindle, because, for whatever reason, Maxell decided to invent its own baffling spindle locking mechanism. Everyone is familiar with the standard CD/DVD spindle mechanism: Three or four tabs on the base, rotate the top 15-degrees, pull up and wah-lah! Discs galore!

Maxell, however, created this spindle with four seemingly harmless tabs on the inside of the spindle top. These tabs are held within a solid track that runs the inner spindle base, with four voids in the track that would seemingly correspond with the tabs. Here is where the trouble comes in: You rotate the top about 40-degrees along this track, and you hit a solid stopper. Rotate 40-degrees in the opposite direction and "No soup for you!" You've hit another solid stopper.

"Push on the top and pull at the same time!" - "Push on the sides like on a Listerine cap!" - "Put a screwdriver under the tab!" - "Break the stupid thing, I need to burn a copy of Charlie's Angels already!"

The overzealous orders came barking in from all corners of the office. I simply sat and stared wonderfully at this disaster of modern product usability: "Who gets the $60,000 salary at Maxell for thinking this thing up?"

Eventually, with pure sweat, muscle and tears of insane laughter, I was able to force the top to rotate beyond the Goliath Spindle Stoppers on the base. Yet the ability to finally open the spindle gave me no further insight as to the real intention of how this mechanism should work, so now we just leave the spindles unlocked at all times.

While I normally applaud innovation and new ideas... SERIOUSLY, Maxell, this is a case of DVD-R discs, not a bottle of Vioxx. I shouldn't have to go out to the garage and grab my oil filter clamp to open it up. Then again, perhaps this is the handiwork of the MPAA... what better a method of DRM!

1Shitty Manufacturing StandardsFeb 17, 2006
By Reviewer
When purchase, product comes in a nice plastic container sealed.

When open (brand new) close inspection will reveal a different story.

1) You will find occasional scratches on the disc.

2) You will find occasional paint marks on the disc.

3) You will find occasional oil marks (if you're lucky, you'll find finger prints) on the disc.

Lastly, the plastic material used in the manufacturing process to laminate the metalic foil has high electro-static attraction characteristics towards dust. I have conducted experiments on similar product with different manufacturers/company under same enviromental condition and found this to be true.

I might also add that if you intend to use this as a reliable form of backup for your data/video and plan to store it for more than 2 years, you should avoid using it because the viscoelastic characteristic of the plastic decays rapidly compared to other manufacturers.

1You don't get what you order!May 06, 2005
By D. Flaster "Very verbal when dissatisfied"
Be careful when ordering this item. Though the "See Larger Picture" illustration clearly shows 4x, 8x is shipped. Some recorders, mine for example purchased only 3 months ago from Amazon, state in two places "This machine will not record on 8x discs".

4Great Picture & Customer Service - May Not Always Work !Jul 03, 2004
By NYSOFTWAREMAN
DVD Recorders are more finicky than my cat at dinner time!
Some may like a certain brand of blank media more than others.

I have a TOSHIBA DVD Recorder. I purchased a 25 pack of these
Maxell DVD-R's. Some of the disks worked fine , others did not.
But a 25 pack of PANASONIC DVD-r's all worked!

But when the MAXELL Disks work, it has unbeatable quality.
The color and luminance is outstanding!

I recommend purchasing a 10 Pack to start with.
Find out if it works well in your dvd recorder.

If any of the disks do not work ,return it to Maxell.
They send you a free replacement(in a sealed jewel case)
within one week!

5Excellent productFeb 08, 2008
By R. Russell "uknut"
This is just what I needed. It's a shame to have old technology, but Maxell makes the best discs for my recorder.
