Had lots of bad discs about a year ago, not tried again since.

Got them in Tesco Midleton two weeks ago, not tried them but to avoid coasters burn at a slower speed.

Got some, seemed fine.

As stated, burn slow!

Any Cds, DVDs I bought in Tesco were pure sh*t. On the plus side, where would you get 50 coasters for €4?

Burn them at a slower speed, fixes the problem caused by weak lasers in cheap dvd burners.

I threw out approx. 80 of these DVD's last month .... their fail rate was spectacular.

Why not bring them back to Tesco and ask for a refund?

RayCon · 07-12-2009 02:13PM

No Receipt

TheDriver · 07-12-2009 02:31PM

they just sound too cheap, not to dis a bargain but maybe you get what you pay for? memorex are 8 euro for 25 in heatons.

MunsterCycling · 07-12-2009 02:41PM

I have had just as Much trouble with them, normally only use Verbatum as they are mostly Taiyo Yuden

They're fine if you want a dispopsable DVD or game backup, but would not recommend them for important data backups however.

Just stocked up on 8 cases of the +R DVD's (Tesco Waterford). As the OP stated the are being sold at €4 for 50. The funny thing is on the shelf above they are selling them at €6.25 for 25.

. I have kept receipt in case I need to return them

Just some research on the disc manufacturer.

Agree totally with the slow burn,very rarely had problems with them at x4 speed.Revoo.com independant review site gave them 9/10,only 3 reviews though.Anyway think they are going to be hard to get a hold of at that price was waiting 2 weeks for them to come in.

I have returned Tesco own brand items without a receipt, Dont know if its their policy though.

Cheers OP, those would be perfect for Christmas tree decorations:D

RKQ · 08-12-2009 04:06PM

Tesco own brand works fine.
I haven't had any problems with them.
€4 is amazingly cheap...... great value, well worth it.

lindtee · 08-12-2009 04:14PM

The box I got a few months ago have all burned perfectly for me:) (I posted a bargain alert about them and got similar negative comments:rolleyes:) Thanks OP

dolittle · 08-12-2009 06:05PM

i bought a pack last week
burned about 12 so far with no problems
a bargain as far as i`m concerned

ADTR · 08-12-2009 06:45PM

Going to check my local Tesco for these tomorrow.

Glenbhoy · 08-12-2009 06:54PM

i had problems with too, but at the price you can afford to have one in 4 fail.

TVDX · 08-12-2009 07:16PM

Indeed, a patricular poster challenged me to play some of those last offer tesco discs a year after I had burned them as he claimed they wouldnt work then.
So Im patiently waiting till that time!.

Picked up a spindle today. Plenty left. Might get another spindle next week.

tintar · 09-12-2009 05:29PM

Did not see these in Tesco Jervis, which shops have these spindles?

well, they might work, but there is a reason why single dvd-ram disc cost as many as 50 dvd tesco discs :P

don't get me wrong they are ok, but not for your photos, documents or other data that is hard or impossible to recreate

coldfire1x · 09-12-2009 09:18PM

I have used a lot of them and not much complain. Decent bargain.

norbert64 · 10-12-2009 03:38PM

None in Ashbourne or Maynooth, although I can confirm that the latter had this offer at one point, since I got some myself earlier this year.

Regarding quality, they worked fine for me.
As others have already suggested though, they're better served as just mirrors, or duplicates for family/friends etc.

Leave your more important data for higher quality discs.

consultech · 10-12-2009 04:41PM

I've never had anything but perfect burns with these...

Just pop them on the fire every time they fuck up and they burn perfectly.
