This 50-pack of 4x DVD-R discs consists of write-once, single-sided discs that store up to 4.7 GB of data and approximately 120 minutes of DVD quality video--that's more than six times as much data as will fit on a recordable CD. You can transfer your home movies from VHS or 8mm cassettes, back-up computer hard drives and large files, or stuff them chock full of MP3 music files and JPEG image files from your digital camera. A one-year warranty protects you against defects in the near term, while the discs' rated archival life of 70 to 100 years means you can rest easy about the future of your data.

Special Note:Using new recordable discs (4X for DVD-R) in 1X-2X Pioneer manufactured DVD drives and DVD recorders may cause damage to the DVD drive or recorder and possibly to the loaded 4X disc. The source of the problem is a firmware "bug" in certain DVD-R/RW drives and recorders, and not with the media itself. A firmware update is required to avoid potential damage to the units and discs.

The following products may be affected:
Pioneer DVR - A03 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - A04 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - 103 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - 104 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - 7000 DVD Recorder
Pioneer PRV - 9000 Professional DVD Recorder
Apple and Compaq Systems with DVD-R/RW Drives (Pioneer DVR-103 & DVR-104)

Anyone who owns or uses any of the above listed products should perform the free firmware update immediately, prior to using the new 4X DVD-R discs. Firmware updates can be accomplished in the following two ways:
