Digital camera reviews of Verbatim 95102 4.7 GB up to 16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD-R (100-Disc Spindle)
Digital camera Review: Good Disks...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never had any trouble with any of the pc computers I use them on... though I think a friend of mine couldn't use them on an old macbook pro... I think there's a disclaimer for certain players listed on the package about it and a firmware update was required. I don't know if thats the same with newer macs.Digital camera Review: Good Products

You can't really go wrong with Verbatim. It is a product that will give you satisfaction time after time.Digital camera Review: Good coasters, bad DVDs
Summary: 1 Stars
Not much to say about these. There are 100 on the spindle, and I've tried burning about 20 of them, only two of which were successful. I'm going to donate the rest to a school, in hopes that they're compatible with the school's computers. I'll buy some other blank DVD media instead.
BTW, I bought a spindle of 100 CD-Rs from Verbatim at the same time, and I have had no problem with any of them.
Digital camera Review: Good discs ; made in U.A.E. ; Just use slow burn speed.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the 100 disc spindle.
ImgBurn says these are Manufacturer ID: MCC 03RG20, which is among the best.
Mine are Made in U.A.E., too, but I've had no problems with then as long as I used a slower burn speed, which you should do with any media if you get bad burns.
There is a burn speed sweet spot with any media/drive combination, and more often than not, it is your drive's fault more than the media's. With my circa 2006 Dell laptop's Sony DVD drive, I get bad burns with ANY brand DVD-R media if I go greater than x4. At more than x4, I get a dark to light banding issue with any brand media. That dark to light band transition is where many DVD players will freeze during movie playback. If I burn at x4 on this drive, all is good.
My circa 2006 Toshiba laptop has a MatsuSHITa drive in it than seemingly can't burn anything well. Those drives have known issues.
Many people recommend using a x4 burn speed with any single layer DVD media for reliable burn. This of course can depend on your DVD drive. You might be able to go faster. It'll take about 15min to burn a full disc at x4.
Bottom line is that you should try a different burn speed, or a different burner before blaming the media.
Digital camera Review: Good price for a good product

These blanks give me fewer bad media errors than other brands. I'll be buying them again.
