Summary: 4.7 GB? Not quite
Review: I bought the 10-pack at another store and not a single one of them registered 4.7 GB. Each one could only store 4.4 GB. This is not good when you're DVD project is tailored for a 4.7 GB disk! I would understand if one or two did not have the full capacity, but not the whole box. Try something else.

Summary: Top notch Fuji/T.Y. made DVD-R media
Review: I just bought 3 packs of these from target.com. The packages say made in Japan and all contained 4x speed DVD-R v2 media identified to be from the Taiyo Yuden factory. Media code reported from dvdindentifier is: TYG01 Great stuff. If you know about media quality then you know these are top quality T.Y. made Fuji brand media. Some Fuji media is now made by prodisc from Taiwan but this stuff is genuine T.Y from Japan. Previous reviewer shows how little they know about DVD burning. #1 misconception about DVD media: My blank DVD-R/RW/+R/RW says I can burn 4.7 GB's of data. But I have heard that you can only burn up to 4.38 GB's of data. Which one of these facts is true? Actually, both of the facts are true. The confusion comes because the real world and the computer world have different mathematical computations. It can get confusing, and for the most part, what you really need to know is when you see the 4.7 on your DVD MEDIA, it is referring to 4.7 billion bytes. Which equates to approximately 4.37 GB's. To simplify, you will need to keep your project to 4.37 GB's or less.
