Customer Ratings & Reviews

I would recommend this to a friend who expects quality

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

All I can say is that they're cheap for a reason. The first DVD I tried to burn failed right of the bat. I didn't think anything of it when the second one burned just fine, we've all come across the odd bad DVD-R. As I continued to burn DVDs over the next few days I noticed that about every 4th DVD was failing. I know that there's nothing wrong with my drive because every other brand of DVD-R works just fine. My suggestion is to spend the extra few bucks on Sony or Maxell, it's worth it. I'm giving this product 2 stars because I once bought a 100-pack of CompUsa brand DVD-Rs where none of the DVDs worked and customer service refused to take them back because I had lost the receipt. After a long heated discussion they finally gave me my money back for they're own brand of faulty merchandise that I couldn't have bought anywhere else, but that's another story.

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.

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. p.s. I just wish Best Buy would sell Taiyo Yuden!

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!

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).

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..

This is the best media I have ever used. I have tried all different brands & verbatim is by far the most superior. I will never use another brand.

The quality of the picture is outstanding. It's as if you were in the movie theater. The sound comes out clear and concise.

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.

"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."

I have been using the Verbatim 50-Pack for quite sometimes and I find it to be one of the best DVD's I have ever used. I have yet to get a faulty DVD from this company and it works great.

I bought these so I could make my Vacation video on my Mac into a DVD and NONE of these DVD-R's took. I literally tried every single one of them and my computer spat all of them back out. These were an absolute waste of money and I recommend that no one buys them.
