Product Description: Verbatim DVD+R discs are for use in drives and recorders that support the DVD+R format. Ideal for sharing computer data, home videos, photos, and music, as well as duplication and distribution of all kinds of DVD content.
Best discs out there ^ Best discs for backing up your old dvd's ( don't pirate ). 0% failure when using verbatim discs.
Stay Away ^ These disks have caused me many DAYS worth of nightmares. Every single one of these disks I have burned have turned in to coasters. I un/re-installed applications and even replaced my DVD burner before figuring out that these disks are the problem. I have had good luck with Verbatim in the past but these disks SUCK. Will probably never buy Verbatim again.
Very Good Product ^ Overall I have found the Verbatim DataLifePlus DVDs to be about the best DVDs available. Even though I occasionally see what looks like a tiny nick or defect in the media (which I have found to be common among all brands for DVD's and CDs near the top or bottom of the stack), I still rarely get a bad burn, and I do a verify on all the discs that I burn. These DVDs are certainly not the least expensive ones available, but they're worth it. One reason the quality of this media is better than most is that the product is made in Taiwan, rather than China. I personally avoid products that are made in China as much as possible, and will continue to do so until they learn to make quality control a priority.
I tried using cheaper media, like RiDATA, but I was getting bad burns more than 20% percent of the time, and the cheaper media often wouldn't give me good burns at the maximum burn rate advertised by the media manufacturer. My burner is one of the major brands too known for quality. When it comes to burning DVDs and CDs, you will get the fewest bad burns if both the media and the burner are well known name brands (and both manufacturers have a reputation for making good products). Also, make sure that the firmware in your burner is the latest version. The firmware in DVD burners is always updated by reputable manufacturers when there are bugs or reliability issues that have surfaced. If you settle for the cheapest media and the cheapest burner you can get, you're just asking for headaches. Who needs that kind of frustration, wasted time, and wasted expense caused by inferior products?
Junk Disks ^ I bought the Verbatim disks based on the "5-star" rating and positive recommendations. Of the first 4 disks I burned, 3 were unreadable. Caveat emptor.
Verbatim DVD+R White, Ink Jet Printable 50pk Spindle ^ I like these DVDs better than any I've used before. If you do not want to use your printer to label them, you can write on the white top of the DVD with a marker or pen to label it. Very convenient.
