These Dshirt branded 8x DVD+R have a dark blue overprinted top surface, with the Dshirt logo at the top, disc information at the sides and Dshirt slogan and website address at the bottom of the disc, with a single line to display the disc contents.
DShirt is a new company that have "sponsored" these discs in order to publicise their website. Their sponsorship has enabled the discs to be shown at a very low price. If you are happy to have the DShirt website advertised on your disc, then these are excellent value for money!

Writing on Disc
The discs seem fine but would point out difficult to see writing as one needs a white marker pen.

Great value and consistently excellent results
I've bought around 800 of these over the past year from 2 companies and I've settled on them as my regular choice for both computer data and DVD movies (where the slightest recording glitch will show in playback). I've had excellent results and I don't recall a single coaster due to media failure.
The only negative I would give is that recently I've noticed a slight quality control fall off in the visible quality of some of the discs. There are some with small scratches to their outer edges, but then you shouldn't really burn to the edges of any disc anyway, and one or two have had radial lines from the centre through the dye, maybe up to 2 per 50, although they still were okay for non-critical data use, and still fully verified.
I wouldn't claim these are the best discs in the world, something to put your precious home movies on them etc, for that you want Verbatim (which some consignments of these DShirt overprints have been, you can sometimes make out the brand beneath the overprinted label). But as a general purpose disc I have found them more reliable than Ridisc, Tuffdisc, and even a respected brand like Imation. There is certainly no better value on the UK DVDr market IMO.

Reply to Percy Winterburn
Hi Percy,
Looking at the disc now - Dshirt 8X DVD+R is what I have.
The Adinfo on this is definately CMC MAG M01 not MCC 004 as stated.
But to temper what I said, the scans made of this media have been in general very good (actually better than the MCC 004 discs mostly).
Except for a certain quite small percentage with actual visible faults (2 or 3 out of 21).
Also my DVD player must have a problem with them because I haven't had good playback in the (quite few) times tried whereas MCC 004 discs alway work for me, even with quite nasty scans.
SVP are an excellent company however, with a no questions asked returns policy if you really have a problem with one of their products.
So if after ACTUALLY TRYING!! whatever you get, it don't work, you can send it back.
The discs are overprints though truely, with no guarantee of anything, so buy on that basis.
Score here is 10 but of the company not the discs.

Very sorry to mislead people before.
@ Peter Escott
Are you sure you are reviewing the X8 DShirt DVD+R discs, and not the DVD-R X16 speed DShirt variety, which is a different product?
I reiterate, these discs are superb and cracking value for money. Never had a failure.

Very sorry to mislead people before.
I must appologise for submitting a review of these discs before trying them for long enough.
Whilst some of the CMC MAG M01 varient of these discs that I recieved seem to give a good scan, a significant number have serious faults visible as lighter coloured regions with very high PIF errors also.
In fact even some of the discs with appearently OK scans skip and stop in video playback.
So not recomended now.
Suggest you try the Datawrite Yellow, they are MCC 004 and work fine for me.

CMC MAG01 pretty good anyway
My scans of this media are now very good.
At this price you can't go wrong if your hardware likes it.
I am burning at 6X on these (10 min burn).

Most recent burn scanned reasonable.

Excellent value DVD+R disc
I have been using these discs for over two weeks now and have not had a single problem burning at 16X, using an LG burner. The discs are badged as 8X media but they have the MCC-004 dye. Using Imgburn from Lightning UK, these discs are reported and burn as 16X. Superb value for money.
Only possible bad point is that if you use a black disc marker pen the dark blue shiny background makes any text very hard to read.
Cracking value for money.
