Imation DVD write-once and rewritable discs with proprietary ForceField Protective Coating add a unique, thin polymer layer of protection on the recording side guarding against most everyday wear and tear that can interrupt maximum enjoyment of music, photo and videos. The media offers hassle-free DVD care and handling and will protect your precious memories for years to come.
