Most reliable media out there

After disappointing results with both off brand (such as store brand) and other major brand media, Verbatim is one of only two or three brands of DVD blank media I will buy. I have always had consistently excellent results whether burning a data-only disc for computer use or video for playback on my Sony DVD player. Other brands either burn poorly for DVD playback or degrade over time. Verbatim only sells discs made by one of the top quality manufacturers of blank media.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Computer use only!

I used up several of these Memorex discs trying to burn a DVD that would play on my Sony DVD/VCR player. While they worked perfectly in playback on my computer, playback on the DVD player was very poor. The beginning of each disc played well, but quality degraded as the disc progressed until it would finally freeze up. I tried 3 different videos, so the problem was not my file. A different brand DL disc (and one of only two brands that I will rely on from now on!) worked perfectly on all machines.
I'll use these up for storing material that I will play back on my computer (although I can't vouch for longterm viability), but if you're looking for DVDs that will work on a player connected to your TV, save your money.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
