Digital camera reviews of Verbatim 95098 4.7 GB up to16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD+R (100 Disc Spindle)
Digital camera Review: Best outside of Taiyo Yuden
Summary: 5 Stars
EDIT: This review applies to Verbatim 95098 specifically!
Bearing in mind that some media and some optical drives just do not get along, I would say that these discs (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.) are the closest in quality to the cream of the crop (Taiyo Yuden) that I have come across.
The thing to remember when buying blank DVD media is that brand name means little: you want a good manufacturer. For instance, I have burned some TDK media for a friend and noticed that one batch was manufactured by Ritek and another by CMC Magnetics.
I strongly suggest checking this page before you buy:

Be sure to check out the freeware tool DVD Identifier, as well, so you know who is manufacturing your media:

Hope this helps to cut back on "coasters!"
EDIT February 2011: Not sure why Amazon removed my links to websites that review and rate CD/DVD/BD media after they had been up for quite some time. I suppose a quick Googling will suffice....
Digital camera Review: Broken Spindle
Summary: 5 Stars
Received with spindle broken, ton of packing material in huge crushed box.
Damage unknown til I transfer them to empty spindle.
Suspect; Rough Handling By UPS
Fast service by seller-No Complaints
Suggestion: Use smaller bubble wrap,wrapping the spindle at least twice and tape same. PROTECT THE BASE.
Digital camera Review: Buy these!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having brought approximately 5 or 6 hundred of these disks and in all that time only finding 1 of them to be bad; it is easy to recommend them. I have purchased many different brands before and none of them can compare. Buy these!Digital camera Review: Buy this product
Summary: 5 Stars
Verbatim is a trusted media in my work place. Verbatim is a great choice when you need to rely on quality and longevity for archival of your data.Digital camera Review: CAREFUL ABOUT AMAZON PACKAGING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've purchased things from Amazon before but I read some reviews about packaging and Amazon's practice of sticking air pillows on the sides instead of using peanuts underneath (the old fashioned way). As a result, many Amazon customers have reported getting spindles with a few cracked discs on top due to corner impacts during shipping! AMAZON SHOULD NOT SKIMP ON THE QUALITY OF PACKAGING IF IT WANTS TO KEEP CUSTOMERS! Some items are just too delicate to use a air pillow on the side.
I wound up buying them from Newegg instead who has a very high, well respected reputation, free shipping, and was selling the spindle for the exact same price. You just have to pay a little tax. The extra tax was worth it knowing the ITEM IS PACKAGED BETTER. A shipping box filled with a generous amount of peanuts, and the spindle buried inside. That means Newegg cares more too as far as I'm concerned. You can collect the extra peanuts in a big trash bag to use when you ship your own packages.
By the way, my Panasonic DVD recorder and LG Burner read and burn the Verbatims perfectly.
