very good--with just a couple of minor things to note October 26, 2007

Fuji makes a reliable blank DVD-R that can handle up to 4.7 GB of data. Moreover, these blank DVD-Rs are capable of recording data at speeds up to 8x. That speed may sound slow these days but it's still pretty fast. The data I record onto these lasts for years, proving the test of time. I have used these as discs to record video both with and without sound. Great!
The DVD-R discs are compact and easy to store. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your burn data onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your DVD-Rs that have data stored on them. Don't store these discs, burnt or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose data over time.
There are two caveats that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the data onto the blank disc, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than 8x. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra couple of minutes (tops) that you wait to get your DVD-R completed are worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink eventually seeps through the top coating of the DVD-R disc; and this slowly but surely compromises your data. If you need to label the discs, label its' jewel case using a post-it note.
Overall, Fuji blank DVD-R discs store data reliably over the years and I believe that an extra two minutes or so to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it in the event that it doesn't actually burn at 8x.
Use them in good health!
 No problems. July 12, 2007
I have used these for many tasks and have never had a problem with them. For the price, don't buy anything else.
 all Fuji media is problematic January 18, 2007

Thought my DVD recorder on my computer was broken but once I tried media other than Fuji I was fine. Same experience with my Sony camcorder using Fuji Hi-8 media. DO NOT USE FUJI MEDIA. From what I have read the main issue is that Fuji media has "aging" problems so you may be OK when you first buy a spindle of DVD-Rs but six months down the road you might have trouble - that was my experience.
Good for movies December 16, 2006
I have many of these laying around and my experience with them have been good but there are others brands that are better. I use these to back up my DVDs but I don't use them to back up data as them seem to have a tendency to have errors creep in after a few years of archiving. With movies these disks skip less than others and play well with the late model Playstation and other Sony DVD players. They also don't fair well with multisesssions, so if you are going to be moving information back an forth I from PC to PC I would use other medias (or get a jump drive if you can.)
Of course, with DVD-Rs your mileage my vary. I use an ancient Pioneer DVR-105 and these have yet to burn a coaster in it.
Best Value, Superior Quality August 7, 2005

This review is a little long-winded, but I am going to share with you my experiences after burning hundreds of DVDs. After all, many of us are archiving data / video we will want to be able to access for decades into the future and currently there are no other reviews for this product on the site.
I have used just about every type of recordable DVD media available and have concluded Fuji offers the best value. I recommend you stick with the Fuji DVD-Rs made in Japan. This is important since there are multiple manufacturers who make recordable DVDs for Fuji (not uncommon in the industry). For the end user, the DVDs from the different manufacturers (all under the Fuji name) look nearly identical.
You might want to take the time to Google and then download a free utility program named DVD Identifier. You simply put your recordable DVD into your computer's DVD writer and DVD Identifier will tell you who actually manufactured the DVD (many of you might be surprised the brand name on the disc and the actual manufacturer are often different).
For example, the Fuji DVDs made in Japan are made by Taiyo Yuden (one of - if not the most - reputable manufacturers out there). The Fuji DVDs made in Taiwan are made by an entirely different manufacturer. Both the Japan and Taiwan Fuji DVDs look nearly identical in packaging and share a common proof of purchase code. However, one set will note made in Japan under the proof of purchase code and the other set will note made in Taiwan under the proof of purchase code. The other way to distinguish between the packages is the made in Japan DVDs will have the plastic spindle cover flush against the black spindle base. The made in Taiwan DVDs will have the black base stick out slightly.
I have heard some people say digital is digital and all DVDs are created equal. This is not true. You want to buy a DVD that is manufactured with quality. You might save a few cents buying a cheaper DVD; however, you have to factor in bad burns and lost data. With the cheapo DVDs, you will have more coasters and more DVDs that initially burn fine, but lose the data after a few months.
In the past two years, I have burned over 1,000 of the made in Japan Fuji DVDs and have only six bad burns and have not yet experienced lost data from any of the hundreds of successful recordings.
I use these Fuji DVDS more than any other brand. I also use the Panasonic DVD-Rs (also manufactured by Taiyo Yuden) as well as unlabeled DVDs from an online wholesaler that are also manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. The Fuji DVDs have an attractive silver color top, the Panasonics have an attractive gold color top. The Panasonic DVDs are also much more expensive than the Fujis.
In terms of compatibility, I have played the Fuji DVDs on over 20 different DVD players and have yet to find a player that does not play my video recorded on a Fuji DVD.
The 50 pack Fuji spindle regularly goes on sale for $20 at a variety of retailers.
