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.

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.

I just received my Verbatim DVDs and am pleased to report that they are still using MCC media. What does that mean to you? That means it isn't junk, that's what. MCC media is the Holy Grail of DVD media. In fact, with some DVD burners, these 8x DVDs burn at 12x. I already tossed the packaging out or else I would have listed the drives capable of this. You can't go wrong with these DVDs, as you get what you pay for. I found that out the hard way, buying the el cheapo Velocity DVDs for $26 for 100. The first batch last year were actually MCC media, but later they went to Optodisc and those are real junk, rated at 8x but only capable of 4x. Go with these Verbatim DVDs. They may be twice the price of the discount DVDs, but you won't be wasting your time burning coasters.

I use an 8x Cyberdrive DX082D DVD+R/W burner, also marketed as a kHypermedia drive, with an incredible 8 meg buffer, as opposed to most DVD burners with their paltry 2 meg buffers.

I am not an expert on blank dvd's, but so far the Verbatim blank dvd's that I bought work fine. They seem to be of fine quality. I have burnt about half the spindle so far and have had only one failure.

This DVD+R burns and read without any problem at all, at least for Sony DWD22A drive.

Its best.what can i say.it never failed..Quality is amazing.I use it with my Plextor 504 external drive.I got good deal on Amazon for Verbatim 8x 4.7 GB DVD+R Spindle .I'll definately recommend it.

I had no problems with these dvd's. Every movie I burned worked just fine with Verbatim. The price is not expensive and they work great!

I've gone through nearly half a deck of 50 in a couple of days so far, and they are flawless. No coasters! No pixelation or jumping footage! Spend a bit more, but go for the Verbatim DVD+R.

These disks are fine, but Verbatim now makes a 16x DVD+R, and they can be bought from many retailers for much, much less. Shop around!
