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
