I ordered this product specifically because it is 4x, which my DVD Recorder is only capable of handling. What I received was 8x DVD's. Cyberguys have been notified that the Amazon.com listing for their product is incorrect.

Media code is MCC 01RG20, which is Mitsubish Chemicals Corporation. They have an excellent reputation, which is why I was so surprised that this media is as bad as it is.

I'm using a Plextor PX-708A with the 1.08 firmware revision.

The first 4X burn produced a coaster with tons of bad sectors, and visible dye damage. The second at 4X also had visible dye damage, but my recorder was able to read each sector. My Sony DVD player (older and picky) couldn't read it.

A 2X burn produced something my DVD player could handle (at least the title screen comes up, and the titles start playing - haven't checked playability across the entire disc). There's still visible dye damage, so I'm skeptical.

Having bought this media so I could burn at 4X to produce something my DVD player will like (have to burn at 2.4X with my +R media to achieve that), I'm quite disappointed with the results.

I cannot use the DVD-R Disc found in retail stores for my DVD recorder. The ones in the store are rated at least 8x or higher. These 4x disc are perfect for my recorder.

I recently bought a Phillips DVD recorder which had tested and reccommended the Verbatim 4 x discs. I used them in my Talon DVD duplicator with great success and so far no returns from my summer dance studio orders. I have had fewer problems with the 4x speeds than the newer faster discs and I am thankful to still be able to buy them.

DVDs work great and they are the 4x type that I can no longer find in stores. Now I can record on my older DVD recorder.

I haven't been able to find disks to work in my dvd/vhs combo recorder locally. These worked perfect. Not only that, but the customer care was good. I got e-mails, prompt delivery, and follow up e-mails.

I burned these discs on a Panasonic DVD recorder and an R-Quest CD/DVD duplicator, and they played just fine on various machines, including Denon and Zenith DVD players, a Mac G5, and a Compaq PC.

No longer available?? But these are the ONLY DVD's I have bought in the last couple years where EVERY DVD was good. The Memorex has a 15% failure rate. Most of those failed when I went back to READ them. They seemed to WRITE just fine as I got no errors when writing.
Although I didn't print on these Verbatims, I like the white cover as it was easy to write on.

We received this item quickly and it's just what we needed to transfer our old videos to DVD. Excellent quality and price!
