Title: terrible quality made in Malaysia
Product review: Earlier this month I bought a spindle of 50 Sony DVD-Rs (16x) to use with my Sony DVDirect (model VRD-MC3) to make dvds from my large stash of 8mm camcorder tapes. Fully 20 of the 50 DVDs proved defective. Perhaps even more annoying than the wasted money was the wasted time I spent having to re-record the same tape on to a new DVD(in real time) over and over again due to these defects. A little online research reveals that this is a common problem associated with Sony DVDs manufactured in Malaysia and not a problem with those produced elsewhere. I don't find information regarding the site of manufacturing in the product descriptions so I'm not taking a chance with any more Sonys. I'm told that there are a couple of highly regarded brands (Verbatim and JVC) that manufacture in Taiwan and Japan and that these have much higher quality ratings so I'll try those next since I still have a lot more tapes to transfer to DVD.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
