5.0 out of 5 stars Works great at 8x!, January 10, 2005

I have an NEC burner and these discs work great at 8X. Some people buy them because some Verbatim's carry an MMC003 media code and can burn at 12X. The truth is, Verbatim use to make their own media, but now just rebadges them with thier name and are actually made by varied media manufacturers. In the end, you get varied results when you burn faster than what the media is rated, becuase the media is not always the same, even though it was packaged as Verbatim. If you intend to burn at 8x, then these will be fine for your purposes. But if your intent is to burn these at above 8x, be careful, different burners will get varied and unstable results, becuase you'll never know what you'll end up with.

This review is from: Verbatim 8x 4.7 GB DVD+R Spindle (50 Discs) (Electronics)

I have entered the recordable DVD scene about 3 months ago. Scince then i've burned about 200 DVD's. I fugured they would all work just like cd's, but alas I was wrong. I got many bad DVD's to serve as coasters. Then I came along this grat deal at Amazon.com for Verbatim DVD's and decided to give them a shot. For years I have known that Verbatim makes quality products. Yes they rebadge their media like everybody else, but they will only use a company that produces quality material. They wont sell you cheap because they have a reputation to protect. They are the top disc company out there (just look at who is producing the DL discs.) The discs I got (and the ones I believe these are ) are MMC003 which is produced by Mitsubishi. They are awesome discs which have never failed me. I burn them at 12X too. They are usually a bit more expensive but it's worth the price. These discs are reliable and will last for years keeping your information safe. You dont want to get budget disc that loose the data after a few months (this can happen.) If your data is important to you pay a bit extra and go Verbatim.

I have heard about many other brands of media being riddled with unusable blanks (a.k.a. coasters, frisbees). This is not the case with Verbatim. No problems whatsoever in recording or playing. The DVD burner recognizes them instantly and since I have a 16X Writer, it automatically burns at 12X. One of the other reviews cautioned against this, but I have not had any playback problems with discs burned at that speed. The digital quality is great. Verbatim may cost a little more, but in my opinion it's worth it.
