Time for me to qualify the title. Yes I am a wedding videographer in the highlands of Scotland and have been for the past four years. I have roughly about 35+ clients per year so I burn about 210+ discs per year. Now most of the reviews I have read give the impression you use them for personal use and data storage.However, my use is for business and they are tested to the max by my clients. If you burn these on your burner and it is yourself reading them back on your PC you will probably always have success. My DVDs are burnt for all sorts of DVD players, probably new DVD players and old ones to.Here is an overwhelming endorsement for these wonderful disks. Not one single client has had a problem with these discs.

I have tried several different blank DVD products. Verbatim are the cheapest of those I have found 99.9% reliable. (There is a lot of junk out there that isn't.)Packaging, delivery time, delivery carrier, & payment collection on these Verbatim 50 DVD+R spindles were 5-star.Tip for inexperienced buyers of blank discs to record to at home (from PC or by DVD recorder) :Be aware that DVD recorders and writers sold for the "home user" market are shabbily built. Philips and Sony have both let me down badly. Amazon (with whom I contracted)fobbed my complaint off on to Sony. And vice versa. Be clear : it's the SELLER'S responsibility to rectify "unmerchantable products", not yours.

I've been using Verbatim DVD-R 16x discs since 2006, and they usually give excellent results with my Sony HDD recorders. The last batch, however (2 x 100 spindle pack) is well below par. I reckon at least 20% of the discs in the first pack were rejected by my recorders with the dreaded message "The disc is dirty." I had hoped that this might be due to the minor transit damaged to the pack - the spindle had broken off at the base - but the first 4 discs out of the undamaged second pack had the same problem; the fifth - and last used so far - was OK. Although the product ref stays the same, the country of manufacture can vary. This particular batch was made in India. However,

In view of the way this comments section to all versions of Verbatim blank DVDs, please note that this review relates only to Verbatim's DOUBLE LAYER 8.5GB DVD+R disks -- that is: DVDs with twice the usual capacity.DVD+R DLs seem nowadays to be in short supply, with many a high street retailer no longer offering them (or, in more than one case, charging more than £2 a disk.) A pity, because as a storage medium, the DLs are excellent for home movie compilations, it being the case that as often as not, the limit is exceeded when writing to a standard disk: there's nothing more frustrating than to have Ashampoo's superb Burning Studio report that a proposed project has just, but only just,

I buy double-layer DVDs on a regular basis, and use them both for sending proof images and videos to clients (I'm a photographer) and for storage. Over a period of ten years plus, I've tried a variety of makes of blank disks and have settled on Verbatim because, unlike some other makes of disk, I rarely have a failure when used with Nero Burning-ROM or when copying programmes from my Philips tv recorder. I had one bad pack of disks about five or six years ago, which I returned and replaced.So far the data stored on the disks (initially single layer, now double-layer) remains perfectly readable, even the oldest - I check them occasionally for signs of reading problems.

Over the summer, I wanted to convert my VHS to DVDs as VHS tapes eventually get old, worn and the image and sound begin to deteriorate. However, I also knew that such things weren't exclusively a problem for VHS tapes, but also for DVDS and CDs too.Therefore, I spent a few hours researching online to find out which manufacturer of DVDs was the best one to purchase. After reading information from numerous websites, I had concluded that Verbatim DVDs were the best ones having an over 90% reliability according to one website.However, by having such as reliability I knew there would be some high costs associated. Fortunately, I managed to find them at an excellent price on Amazon - so I bought them!

Hello, I have recently completed my second desktop computer build. I am intending to install Windows 10 in the next few days, as one of my operating systems. The ISO size of, "Windows 10, 64 bit," as of September 2019, is, 4.59GB. This is too large a file size to burn onto a standard size 4.7GB DVD. So the alternative would be to burn the ISO onto a USB flash drive or SD card of at least 5GB capacity, or over. This can be achieved by using the free program, "Rufus." However I prefer to burn my ISO files onto DVDs. So I purchased, "Verbatim's Double Density DVD+R DL," disks. These disks have a 8.5GB capacity, which is perfect for burning my Windows 10 64 bit ISO. The maximum write speed of these disks are 8x.

Verbatim are the best quality disks. This product is highly recommended, I have bought at least 3 of these 10x packs and am just about to buy again but may go for the 25 pack for better value, and so I decided to review them.Verbatim always my preferred choice, if not available then second choice would be TDK, Sony, Kodak or Tayo Yuden, all use AZO dyes. I have never had a problem with them. Not all disk brands are the same. These disks have lasted years if looked after (kept in a case and out of regular direct daylight), my oldest disks are about 10 years old and still work.I know this because I used to work as a developer and then test engineer for a semiconductor division of a well known consumer electronics company,

This brand comes with a guarantee ... its name. With Microsoft and Apple determined to force the DVD into redundancy for the purpose of making more money on Cloud, I decided to fill my boots, as the DVD disc didn't last for forty years for nothing, and it is capable of extremely high quality pictures ... we project our DVD sourced videos onto a big silver screen. We are serious filmmakers with a customer base. What will replace the DVD? Only another DVD, as the world at large still has over a billion DVD players still in use, and our customers aren't about to dump everything to Cloud, especially granddad. Millions love its simplicity - drawer open, drawer close, play. Millions of us can't even stream a film ...

I buy a pack of 100 DVD-R packs around every six weeks for my small business. I've tried various other brands but always come back to the Verbatim ones. Compared to other brands these seem to be far more reliable with very few faulty ones in a batch, more often than not they all record perfectly. With other brands I have found a number in each batch fail or produce faulty copies.The other thing that I really like about this brand is that the top of the DVD is just a plain silver colour. Some of the other brands are dark blue or brightly coloured. When you put on a DVD label, especially if it is mainly white with a small amount of text you can see the more brightly coloured DVDs through the label and around the outer edge of it.

I have been using Plus discs for around 6 years now, since I bought my first DVD Home recorder, since it only used the plus format, I have been using Verbatim for about 15 years DVD and CD's, since I have a goodly number of Plus Verbatim discs I would use them on my computer for Data and video storage, to save buying the more popular - (minus) format and having twice the number of discs laying around, and naturally twice the cost outlayed.In that time I have had around 6 faulty discs on my computer, but I have had considerably more on the DVD Recorder, which is my third one, but this one uses any format, a Panasonic.Therefore I am going to inverst in a 100 minus DVD discs and see if it is down to the format of disc,

I've spent years on and off trying to burn data to Dual-Layer DVDs to no success. This was basically down to combinations of software, drives and disk problems. As the years went by, the software and drives improved but the disks did not. I went through almost every brand of disks to find ones that would work. They were all of shoddy quality.That changed when I finally decided to fork out for Verbatim brand. So far I've gone through 2 of these packs and so far only ended up with 2 disks being turned into coasters. One was because I had set the writing speed too high, and the other was because the software crashed whilst writing to disk.

UPDATE:These discs are still great, no failed ones on Nero Burning Rom 12, Image Burn and DVD Fab. If your getting failed discs the only thing you can try is to select a slower burn speed or look at the properties of your dvd writer and google the model number and look for a firmware update. Windows 10 or Driver Booster Pro won’t update this driver you have to get it from the manufacturers website and then you can flash it. Sometimes you find when you update the firmware it can help with other branded discs. On some occasions.These discs are like everyone has said fantastic. They burn from x4 to x16 on my LG writer and using Nero 12 to save all my work on. They do run on Blu Ray players and consoles to display photos,
