Features the new azo type blue metal stabilized recording dye used in the highest quality discs! Pros -- Now this new 8x-1x Certified DVD-R features the high quality blue metal AZO recording dye that resists fading during storage and playback, offering quality data storage and video recording, at super low prices! These AZO discs are certainly the most inexpensive true quality media, that actually meets industry video and data storage standards.

Be absolutely SURE you are using the latest available firmware for your burner (see our "Check Your Burner" link on our front page). Also be sure to update your recording software (i.e. Nero, uLead, etc.) to the latest version from those softwares' official support web pages.

Compatible DVD Burners & Software Notes
Will burn at 8x speeds on many models of internal DVD writer drives, and will fall back to 4x, 2x or 1x speed in some models. Updating your firmware to the very latest versions will help you achieve the fastest possible speeds with these discs, check your manufacturer for new firmware updates. Be sure to use only the latest software versions with these new discs. Older software may not support these discs, or may support them only at slower speeds. Check with your software maker for updates (i.e. Roxio CD DVD Creator, Nero, uLead, etc.). We recommend you try Nero 6.3.1.25 or newer for most recording projects on most DVD burners with these discs.
