This is a set of 5 DKMZ01 4X DVD-R. This was sent by the provider as part of a set of 10 samples which were stacked together and shrink-wrapped. Their normal distribution is in cake boxes. The problem with shrink-wrapping DVDs is that the central hub is slightly thicker than the recording surface. When shrink-wrapped the top and bottom disks are compressed down on the outer edges, slightly warping the disk. Because DVDs are such high-capacity and very sensitive, this bending will likely cause problems. You can see this demonstrated quite clearly in this example. The first disk which was on the top of the stack had a very terrible error rate, and also failed verification. On the other hand, the other disks all had excellent results. While this one may require additional testing to confirm that the unusual packaging was the problem, the results of the other disks show that this is very good quality otherwise.
