Requires a bit of perserverance, but pays off.

Overall, I am happy with this purchase. 100 discs for a little over thirty dollars? Forget about it.
I bought this particular brand on recommendation from nearly every person I asked, and after many disappointing experiences with other brands. (Memorex, etc...), I was willing to try them.
So I sat down, opened up iDVD, and prepped the product for use.
When I inserted the disc and went on to doing other things, the disc almost immediately popped out of the machine. Curious and surprised, I reopened iDVD to see the "Please insert the disc.." message again. A wave of familiar disappointment come over me. I thought I'd just wasted another thirty dollars on a set of coasters. Not willing to accept defeat just yet, I pushed the disc back in and waited another few seconds... only to have the disc pop out again. At this point, I was a little angry, and was ready to give up on this so heavily recommended brand. In a moment of insanity, I decided to humor the disc yet again. I pushed it back in and, lo and behold, it finally worked!
It's been a similar experience with every disc I've tried so far, but none have failed me. Three seems to be the magic number of tries. I suspect it's a hardware issue rather than an issue with the discs.

All of the reviews on this product seem to tell the same story. "I bought fifty and only two worked. Blah, blah, blah." What I wonder is if they put it in once, it popped out, and they immediately threw it in the garbage. I recommend trying it a few times before throwing in the towel.
What's great about it: They actually work
What's not so great: They actually work... after a few tries
I would recommend this to a friend!
