I recently changed dvd burners to use a toshiba 5272 8x burner. I was hoping to use this media, with its excellent price, but found that although the disks would write, they were not readable. I have used other brand 8x +R disks without trouble. These disks might work well with other recorders, but they don't with the Toshiba. I would also suggest that you check out http://www.cdrinfo.com before deciding which media to buy, since they provide great information.
