i would be VERY hesitant on these buddy, you could possibly get SCREWED taking the risk:

Philips DVD-R 4.7GB CMC MAG. AE1 8x (the dreaded CMC MAG that 99% of people here AGREE are one of the very worst manufacturers)

Philips DVD-R 4.7GB FUJIFILM03.. 8x (you COULD possibly get these, which are better, but, from my experience are NOT great compared to the Taiyo Yuden quality or Verbatim MCC discs)

be careful with philips, i never recommend people buying philips due to the CMC MAG risk, but, hey, it's YOUR money, but you have been warned :)

Recommended Media:

Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups

I agree with Kivory - be cautious.
Why not pick up some Sony or Fuji (look for made in Japan) or Verbatim DatalifePlus to tide you over. Even if their a few cents more per disc it's worth in the long run.

Just to be contrary...I have had nothing but problems with the Taiyo Yudens that are currently out of stock at supermediastore. Some didn't dub, some didn't burn, and those that dubbed, some didn't burn. All from the same wrapper. I am aware this happens from time to time...but 3 out of 8 one-hundred packs?? I have had no problem with the Phillips that were asked about. I currently use Verbatim and Ridatas...and sticking to them.

Taiyo Yudens are my fallen idol

I personally use Phillips also but i have only used +R so far in this brand and it works like a charm soo in regards too -R i would buy 1 and c how that goes... and it also depends on the comapaliblity of ur DVD Burner...
