Don't know how reliable this media is. I looked at the comments about it on this site and got about 60 good/40 bad ratio. The media is SONY DMR and this is the holiday 6-packs. My local Walmart had the 3 packs NOT on sale ($7 something...I think), but in the cd case section, they had the holiday 6-packs on sale for $8. They also had a bunch of 10 pack tapes on sale. Saw the tapes first. About 7 dvd-r packs and maybe 3 dvd+r packs. I've never used them, but I did pick up one to try.
