Never a bad Verbatim for meNovember 20, 2008 I have used at least two packs of these Verbatim 8.5GB DL discs, burning at 6X speed, and all are fine. I have used at least 100 4.7GB Verbatim DVD+R (plain and Light Scribe) discs, and all are fine.
Veratim are the best.November 17, 2008 I tried other brands and they are costers now, Verbatim are the best. I would recommand durning at a slower speed for best results.
Works Perfectly with SATA DVD BurnerNovember 11, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Let me start out by saying that I could NEVER burn a Memorex or any brand DL disk when using an IDE DVD burner (tried 3 different brands of burner). Single layer was fine. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing there was some limitations in the IDE bus on my motherboard and it was corrupting the data when it came to DL disks. My computer would freeze for a moment and then I'd get an error message of some sort. I tried dozens of different burning software and nothing worked until going to a SATA drive. So if your having trouble burning DL disks try upgrading to a SATA DVD burner.
I finally got a basic level LG SATA drive and all my problems were solved. I've yet to have a bad burn or any coasters that were caused by a bad disk. These Memorex work fine for me and I've used both the 8x and 2.4x versions. I don't notice any difference between the quality of burn with the 8x vs the 2.4x. All the disks work in my PS3 perfectly. I obviously prefer the 8x due to the time difference it takes to burn a disk but you can get the 2.4x cheaper so I tend to buy them. I also believe that a slower burn will give you a better burned DVD that is likely to have less issues when playing back. But, like I said I haven't had any issues with the 8x and the PS3.
I don't think for long term storage of critical data you would want to use a DL disk due to it being more complex in nature and more likely to have issues or fail as it ages. For pure data backups, I use Taiyo Yunden DVD-Rs.
The best DVDs on the marketNovember 4, 2008 Verbatim makes the best DVDs I've ever tried. Yes, they're a little harder to find (you usually can only purchase them online) and they're a little more expensive, but they're the best. I've tried other DVDs and found either that I get errors when I burn something to them, or one of my DVD players won't play them. I've never had that happen with these discs.
