Title: Weird reliability
Product review: When they work at 16x they are great. When they don't they fail except at real time or 1x most of the time. Some look like they are pre-recorded with an annular pattern on the back. Player won't read anomalies. Lab unit might. Some won't register as recordable media. Yield is about 60% of the stack of 100. This has been going on for the last several hundred. All unopened. Amazon suppliers' shipping of these is horrible. Poorly packed. Often smashed containers internally. No external shipping damage. Discs seem OK but what a mess. 3 in a row from different sources. CompUSA consistently bad for packing. I probably should change brands but Sony had a good rating. Have not chased warranty yet. Not sure how to get different elements to clean up their act. Overall high maintenance. Weird disc anomalies.
