Although a little high priced when not on sale, these are the best DVD-Rs on the market. Unlike one reviewer who gave them 2 stars, I have extensive experience with all kinds of blank DVDs. I personally burn literally hundreds of DVDs every month, and my employer burns thousands upon thousands every month. On average, Verbatims have a fail rate of 1-300, whereas the "vaunted" Sony has a fail rate of 1-75 (not to mention Sony DVDs don't work in many DVD players). Memorex? 1-50. TDK 1-50, Dynex 1-25. I would suggest using nothing but Verbatim. While a little pricey as I stated, you can almost always find them on sale for a great price and then they're not only worth it, they're practically worth their weight in gold.
What's great about it: Durable and Dependable
What's not so great: Somewhat High Cost except when on Sale
I would recommend this to a friend!

In the past I have used a variety of Verbatim products, from the 8" magnetic media disks, (way back when), to a current 8 gig flash drive. I have used their optical CD and DVD media in about 6 different computers with no "coasters" yet. I have played the recorded disks in CD players and in DVD players, and they always seem to work just fine. The website "DigitalFAQ.com" rates this Verbatim optical media as "1st Class Media", (http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm).
What's great about it: Seems to work fine in a variety of electronics...
What's not so great: Nothing I can find
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verbatum blunder

ok besides the top-of-the-line Taiyo Yuden, Verbatum is considered 1B in the market. however, once they start outsourcing to various mfg, that's when the product gets tainted. DVD Identifier says that these were batched media code of: CMC MAG AM3....the worst in the business. I usually don't have coasters with Verbatum. I certainly did with this spool. it happens when you cut costs at the sacrific of quality..
What's great about it: great price, notable name
What's not so great: Media ID was not typical quality of Verbatum
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall, I am happy with this purchase. 100 discs for a little over thirty dollars? Forget about it.
I bought this particular brand on recommendation from nearly every person I asked, and after many disappointing experiences with other brands. (Memorex, etc...), I was willing to try them.
So I sat down, opened up iDVD, and prepped the product for use.
When I inserted the disc and went on to doing other things, the disc almost immediately popped out of the machine. Curious and surprised, I reopened iDVD to see the "Please insert the disc.." message again. A wave of familiar disappointment come over me. I thought I'd just wasted another thirty dollars on a set of coasters. Not willing to accept defeat just yet, I pushed the disc back in and waited another few seconds... only to have the disc pop out again. At this point, I was a little angry, and was ready to give up on this so heavily recommended brand. In a moment of insanity, I decided to humor the disc yet again. I pushed it back in and, lo and behold, it finally worked!
It's been a similar experience with every disc I've tried so far, but none have failed me. Three seems to be the magic number of tries. I suspect it's a hardware issue rather than an issue with the discs.
All of the reviews on this product seem to tell the same story. "I bought fifty and only two worked. Blah, blah, blah." What I wonder is if they put it in once, it popped out, and they immediately threw it in the garbage. I recommend trying it a few times before throwing in the towel.
What's great about it: They actually work
What's not so great: They actually work... after a few tries
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verbatim is the only brand that I've found that doesn't produce coasters. Maybe one out of 20 will have issues, and usually it has something to do with the software, not the disc itself.

I've done a ton of research into blank media quality online as well as 2 years of burning various brands of discs. I also scan every burn for errors, and there's really no contest. Verbatim and Taiyo-Yuden are tops in consistent high quality, with Sony a close second place. TDK, Maxell, Memorex and the others buy their discs from various manufacturers, and their quality varies as a result. Verbatim uses only Mitsubishi discs, and Taiyo-Yuden and Sony make their own. You know what you're getting when you buy these. Buy the good stuff, you won't regret it.

I had a choice between Sony DVD-R Disc or the Verbatim DVD-R Disc. I chose the Verbatim's b/c of the Advanced AZO technology. I am very impressed with the quality and durability these discs have shown. Great buy. Get them, you won't be disappointed!
What's great about it: Work with any DVD players
What's not so great: none known

I've bought at least 3 50-packs of these and they've all burned flawlessly and still play without a hitch after the 2+ years I've had them. While I've long heard that Taiyo Yuden are the best type of discs, Verbatim are up there too. And I'm happy with them both. The price is usually good too, Best Buy has a great weekly sale on these every so often.
In case anyone is wondering, I used an NEC 3520AW DVD-RW to burn these discs.
What's great about it: Never had any problems!
What's not so great: None.
I would recommend this to a friend!
