I got two spindles of these trusting Verbatim. I am 15 disks into the first spindle and they will not burn on my DVD burners. I have multiple computers and burners and they have failed on LG, HP and ASUS burners and multiple computers. I have burned CD's and DVD's for years and never have I seen such poor quality.
1. Very few bad discs. Nice! 2. Picture quality not as good as the other Verbatim discs I have used. Hmmm? 3. Not one of these will play on my DVD player, same burner and files... VERY Disappointed. These are made in India, an inferior product and cost about the same price as the other Verbatim DVDs made in Taiwan. Do you ever get the feeling some of the 'glowing reviews' are made by someone working for the product?
I don't know about other consumers out there, but I have had no problem with Verbatim Life 97177 dvd media. I have recorded with these discs, dvd-r and dvd+r, and have had no problem burning them in my Magnavox H2160MW9 dvd recorder. They make crystal-clear recordings, with excellent sound. I speak from experience when I say I would recommend Verbatim discs to anyone wanting a dependable (including shelf life) media to record on.
