Are These Taiyo Yudens actually ARCHIVAL QUALITY discs? Some TYs are manufactured to be archival quality, and others are not.

These are not the Archival TY disc. The following is: JVC Taiyo Yuden Hardcoat Silver Lacquer Printable 16X DVD-R Media 100 Pack in Cake Box (JDMR-ZZSB16-HC)

That is correct. The only Archival grade JVC are the two products I mentioned. Any other reference to "archival" is just for marketing purposes. Archival would require either a gold or gold/silver reflective layer(eliminates oxidation in storage), or speciality designed reflective layer and premium dye material. JVC's ISO product has that type of reflective layer and dye material.

Hi! Here are some I recommend:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00890HPB0These are gold archival with a shelf life of up to 100 years.

Hello! These discs are not considered archival. The use of the word "archival" is a little grey in Amazon listings, as resellers have the ability to list products and write the product names and product details. Taiyo Yuden/JVC does make two Archival discs, one is built to the ISO standard, but its not available on Amazon at this time. You can find it if you search for "ISO Certified - JVC White Inkjet Printable Archival DVD-R - 25 Pack" or UPC code 046838049965. JVC Taiyo also just came out with a gold/silver hybrid DVD, which is also considered Archival. You can find it under "JVC/Taiyo Yuden Archival DVD-R - Dual Silver Alloy/Gold-Silver Alloy Reflective Layer, 4.7GB, 16x, White Inkjet Hub-Printable" or UPC code 046838070327. The ISO Archival is a little more cumbersome to work with, as it requires a whole testing drive process to live up to the ISO standard. The Gold-Silver hybrid will give you the archival life you are looking for, without the ISO quality procedures to follow. I hope this helps!

They are worthless, no matter where made, if they are 8X. I do not know where they are made and I have not had good experiences with any Verbatim disks. I would not buy shiny disks by choice. I prefer white matte finish. Good luck in your search, and with the disks if you locate them.

No . You can use a plain Unbranded data disc. For music Jvc discs work very well & are cheap.If you want to archive your music for more than several years I would recommend going with MAM-A gold archive discs.But be prepared to spend over $2 each for them.

Momof3boys has it right..........t'is a great "idiot proof" rolling pin....I've had mine for over thirty years and never a problem with the discs cracking. I do not, however, submerge them in water or clean them in the dishwasher.

Yes. These are made in Japan. I make tons of DVDs everyday, I only get 1 error in 500+. Super high quality.

Yes they are. Completely sealed. I can't say that for any other listings, but this is definitely authentic do terra.

Hmm...difficult to answer that one but DVD's I recorded on from Verbatim, 5 years ago still run fine. If you keep them in a case, no reason they won't last a very long time.

I've got several of these holders, I've had most of them for many years and my discs are holding up just fine, I do try to be careful but I'm not to crazy about it. hope that helps you I really love mine.

They're authentic. I haven't seen any bootleg ones going around so I'm pretty sure you're safe with theseb^_^

They are relatively new, so I am not surprised that they may have some quality issues. But, I have had mine for 3 month and have had no issues with it. I really like it a lot!

I can't speak for the others but the listing from Robert's Anime Corner is 100% authentic and ship from the United States. These are imported directly from Japan and produced by Bandai. Thanks!

Honestly, I wasn't aware that there was different classifications for sdr's such as "Class A or Class B".? All I understand to be true is that Taiyo Yuden (now merged with JVC) GOLD is Class A, as in 300 year archival quality, such as museums and perfectionists would desire. If you can afford them, buy them. Next, in Class B as you will, is these Taiyo Yuden (aka JVC) Silver discs, which archive your music for a mere 100 years. The fact that there is ZERO% defective rate makes these all the more desirable. I'm totally serious here. They are all perfect sounding. Class C would be Verbatims, but everything else, Sony, TDK, JVC, Memorex, etc. are definitely Class D!

The Taiyo Yuden that I received seemed to be genuine. 200 out of 200 were good. I had problems with Verbatim a couple of times in the past with about 30-50% being bad discs with burn errors. Those Verbatim had been bought locally. I usually have 99.99% good with Verbatim. That was why I tried the Taiyo Yuden. I now suspect that the bad Verbatim discs where knockoffs and not genuine.

These are junk. Complete junk, I returned them. I went with the discsox system. It is of much higher quality. Discsox have a system for organizing with a set of sleeves for DVDs and a separate set for bluray.

I am not sure they are labelled as archival, but I love to store my photos in them. I have not had any problems.
