Digital camera reviews of Verbatim 95101 4.7 GB up to 16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD-R (50-Disc Spindle)
Digital camera Review: They work well with most players
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought in to the Verbatim hype and decided to try them out. Needless to say, I was surprised by the results. I've used all different burning options (burn speed, brands of blank media, etc.) to see what works best for most DVD players.
I own several DVD players, including an old, outdated Toshiba. I always test discs on my new and old players for compatibility. They ALL claim to accept both -R and +R media, but anyone with some experience knows that this is a crock of you know what.
Anyway, my old Toshiba cannot even read these discs. It can't even get as far as loading up the menu. If you're going to say, "Well, it must be that it's -R media," I've used cheap-o Philips -R media, and they DO load up on that machine. So I'm not sure what the difference is, but it is a bit frustrating. I make many copies of home movies for others, and not everyone has as up-to-date technology as I do in terms of DVD/Blu Ray machines. So I like to see what works best overall. These discs are very choosy as to which machines they'll work for.
That being said, the machines on which these discs do work seem to LOVE them. There are never any blips, pixelations, stoppages, etc. If Amazon allowed 1/2 star ratings, I would have given these 3 1/2 due to the exceptional play, but limited compatibility. Overall, I don't think there is any "guaranteed" burn media. But like I said, I've personally had more success with the cheap Philips discs.
Digital camera Review: Timely Shipment - Product as Advertised (but not yet used)
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the CD spindle in a very timely fashion, but have not used them yet. The product was received in the condition advertised. I'm very satisfied but this should not be taken as any representation about the read-write quality of the disks. I have no reason to assume they will not work.

Digital camera Review: Verbatim - the best so far strictly no coasters
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want value for your hard earned money, especially in these times, this is the product to go for. I purchased two packs of these DVD-Rs, a constant user of Verbatim brand for two years now, and so far no coasters just uncompromising quality and dependability all the way. I use them for my data back-ups, MP3 collections, Movies and personal video collections and two years after they still read without errors.Digital camera Review: Verbatim 95101 DVD-R Media - A Quality Choice!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Verbatim CD-R and DVD-R Media are both high quality media that have played back fine in every device I have ever tried them in during the last 8 years. I have burned approx 400 music CD-Rs and 250 video DVD-Rs using Nero/four different DVD burners in three computers and have played back on many, many different devices with zero problems that I can attribute to the media. If you want reliable burning and then reliable playback in non-computer devices, Verbatim is a good way to go. I have also heard good things about Fugi media, but never tried them as Verbatim has always worked fine for me. I once was told the quality of dye in the Verbatim and Fugi is higher than in most, and burned media will also last longer. My Verbatim CDs from 2002 still play fine, as do all my DVDs (just can't remember exacty how old they are). Of course I don't expose them to the elements in a car (sun and temp extremes) and I try to take good care of them. Amazon with Free Super Saver Shipping is the best place I have found to buy Verbatim Media.Digital camera Review: Verbatim DVD-R
Summary: 4 Stars
I was using an off-brand DVD-R to record TV shows and was getting quite a few "Error" messages. Sometimes my recorder would not even recognize the disk. Since switching to Verbatim I have not had one problem. I have only used 4-or 5 out of a 50-disk spindle or I would have rated it higher. Based on my results so far, I would recommend Verbatim.
