These were a huge disappointment. I didn't think I could go wrong when I bought a 50 pack of Verbatim DVD-Rs from Best Buy when they had them on sale one week at $12.99, especially after all the rave reviews Verbatim gets. I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac. Neither computer would recognize the first 10 DVDs from the spindle, so I just gave up on them. Perhaps I got unlucky with my Verbatim batch, perhaps it was one of those batches that were outsourced media. I've never had any problems burning to a Sony though so it's back to them until I ever encounter similar problems with them.
What's great about it: Got 'em on sale for $12.99.
What's not so great: Went through about 10 with no successful burns

I was a little worried about trying out Verbatim brand of media. I usually stick with TDK all the way and Memorex when I can't get TDK. These Verbatim DVD-Rs are certified for 16x, I've got an LG 20X DVD Writer and with these discs burn at 20x by default.
NO coasters yet with this media in my LG DVD Writer, I must say that these DVD-Rs are excellent. Will have to purchase some more when then go on sale, so now I'll be getting either Verbatim or TDK, can't go wrong with either really.
Don't think, just purchase this wonderful working media.

After dealing with 2 other brands changing their media types and being stuck with 200 useless discs, i decided to switch over to Verbatim after reading so many stellar reviews. WOW! I guess everyone is right on the money here. You might pay a little more for these, but honestly you get what you pay for. 100% success on my Plextor PX-716 burner. I've burned about 180 of these so far with absolutely no problems. You really can't go wrong with these!
What's great about it: Zero Coasters, Perfect Compatibility, SOLID Construction!

Although Verbatim's quality is not the same from years ago, this is still a solid brand and quality. I've used more than 100 Verbatim DVDs and no coasters. Don't settle for cheaper brands for 1. may not be compatible with your drive, 2. coasters, coasters, coasters.

Verbatim discs are known for being high quality discs, so it's no surprise that I made it through my entire spindle of 50 DVD-R discs without any failed burns. With so many cheap brands of discs out there, it's nice to know that I can always fall back on Verbatim's when I need to guarantee a good burn. And what a fabulus purple underside. Very nice.
Of course, with the quality comes a little bit of a premium in price. While not typically absurdly expensive, they generally cost a bit more than the average Memorex or Dynex disc.

"These are always great performers. They are a bit pricey and there are cheaper ones that perform as well for me but if you are looking for one you know you can trust go with these until you try some others out. If you can pick these up on sale for about 25 cents a disk go for it."
What's great about it: solid quality, very few coasters
What's not so great: Can be pricey if you dont catch them on sale
