Outstanding media

Short review: Have burned about twenty disks, all work perfectly. Have made home dvds out of them, all work in three different regular dvd players that I've tried. Very satisfied with them.

Burns perfectly; no coasters!
-
I am burning these discs on a Sony DRU-810A, and they work flawlessly. Maybe it's the fact that they are on Sony's compatible list for the drive or that they are quality discs, I don't know. But what I do know is that the picture quality that I got from my copy was PERFECT. NO PIXELATION, NO DROPPED FRAMES, and NO PAUSES. A perfect burn.
I ran the Verbatim discs through DVDInfo Pro and it came back with write speeds of 2.4, 4.0, and 8.0 (see picture.) The box mine came in says "up to 6x speed," so you MIGHT be able to push it to 8x with a high speed drive.
For everyday, general consumer use you should find that these discs will give you a high quality, dependable burn. Some may ask if they are archival quality, and I have to say that my guess is 'no.' Unless the disc specifically says "archival quality" then I would assume that they are standard discs (which have been found to deteriorate over time.)
I highly recommend these discs for your approved DVD+R DL burner. (Remember to check the media compatibility of your drive BEFORE you purchase these discs or any other disc! See your drive manufacturer's website for details.)1/6/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Price

Product worked flawlessly.However the same week I bought a 3-pack from Amazon for 11.82 I found them on special at my local Office Depot and bought two 3-packs for 14.99 plus tax, $16.23 total for six disks. Trying out a Dual Layer 3-pack but then waiting for a coming price drop in DL media seems like a good idea.

Great Dual Layer Discs (Just update your firmware first)
-
To avoid burning a coaster, update the firm ware on your dual layer compatable drive first ([...]).The Verbatim discs seem to have fewer compatability problems than the other brands I've tried.
If your home DVD player is not dual layer compatable, you may experience some problems.It's normal for the movie to stop momentarily when it switches to the second layer.For best results with movies, I burn these as slow as possible.For data storage, they will burn at 8X no problem.
These discs work as advertised.If you're torn between Verbatim and another brand, I would opt for Verbatim discs.They really do work the best.11/24/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:
Don't Listen To Negetive Reviews....THIS IS A GREAT MEDIA

I bought six of these dvd's from amazon and all of them have worked perfectly except one ....which i burnt at 4x ....but my dvd player is an old one which does not except dvd's burnt on a higher speed ( so it was my fault ) ....if u burn your data at 2.4x ....there is almost a 100 percent chance that it will work ...provided that you have a good dvd writer .....Some might say that ...2.4x is very slow ...but i would say that it ensure's two thing ...A)You give your movie a great chance to work on almost every dvd player available in the market ...even the one's which are 2 - 3 years old ...B) there will be less data error or writing error (as a whole) during the burning process .
THIS MEDIA IS OFF VERY HIGH QUALITY AND IS BEST SUITED FOR ARCHIVING YOUR PRICELESS DVD COLLECTION .10/27/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:
