Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Verbatim AZO recording layer gives our DVD media the competitive advantage-the patented coating delivers protection that lasts generations and provides ultimate resistance to UV light damage. That's why Verbatim's been recognized as the No. 1 Optical Brand in the World*--we consistently provide optical media of the highest quality and compatibility. When drive manufacturers test their products for maximum performance, they use Verbatim--so why wouldn't you?

Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM), Verbatim's parent company in Japan, brings extensive technological research and development to the table. Core technologies, like the AZO recording layer give Verbatim an offering like no other optical manufacturer. This unique and ultra-stable layer strongly resists UV light, withstands high laser and rotation speeds on newer drives and ensures compatibility with current DVD standards.

Verbatim's AZO recording layer not only withstands the extremely high laser and rotation speeds of newer drives, it also maximizes their performance. Verbatim paid particular attention to the durability and light fastness of AZO; tests show that it is more stable than most recording dyes and the least affected by ultraviolet light.

AZO also offers high sensitivity for reliable high-speed recording and high reflectivity to eliminate read errors. The thinness of the recording layer is also critical. The thinner the layer, the higher the sensitivity and power margin; therefore, the better the DVD works for high-speed recording.

What does all this mean for you? Verbatim AZO technology translates into optical products that cost just a little more but are worth the slight difference. They are products you want-offering reliability, high read and write performance, high-quality photos and sound and superior archival protection that lasts.

This review is from: Verbatim 95058 4.7 GB up to 16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD-R (25-Disc Spindle) (Electronics)

I have used these Verbatim brand 16X disks in both my DMR-EH50S Panasonic DVD Recorder (recording content from the television to its hard drive and then after editing the content, burning it to DVD media) as well as my pc computer's NEC ND-3500AG 16X DVD burner and all I can say is how pleased I have been.

These burn very very fast at 16X and I have not had any failures using them -- absolutely no errors so far!

I have used other popular brands of 16X speed DVD media including Taiyo Yuden, Philips, Maxell, Memorex, TDK and while those also have burned very dependably (with a few exceptions) there is one capability I have noticed that the Verbatim brand possesses that those other brands do not. And that is I can squeeze more video and file content onto these Verbatim disks whereas with those other brands I cannot! There is a little more storage space on these! That has made a difference at critical moments in which I needed to fit those extra few megabytes onto the same disk.

I am on my third 25 disk spindle and undoubtedly will opt for the 100 disk spindle when the time comes to replenish my supply.

I have decided that I won't use any of those other brands until either the manufacturing quality of these changes for the worse or they stop making them altogether -- I hope neither happens.

Anyway, these are as near to perfection for burning video and files onto as I have been able to find and I recommend them to you heartily!

I recently bought a Panasonic DMR-ES10 DVD Recorder which I use on a daily basis, and I bought these DVD-Rs to record movies on. I haven't had a problem yet with them, and am on my second spool. Absolutely no compatibility problems with any dvd players I've played them in so far. I'll continue to buy this brand, and recommend it highly.

I've been using Verbatim media for over 6 years and I've never been disappointed by any of their products! With my first 25-pack spindle, I had zero coasters and have since ordered two more from Amazon.com. These DVD-Rs are very versatile and have worked with every single computer program I've thrown at them in addition to consistently burning at 16x. I've burned home movies and backup copies of my retail DVDs and it goes through flawlessly each time. In my house, there are Philips, Pioneer and Panasonic dvd players and while the Philips plays everything and the Pioneer next to everything, the Panasonic is notoriously picky about the media it will read. Well! guess what.. this DVD-R media worked without a problem! You can save a few dollars and go with a cheaper brand if you want but if reliability and long term quality is at the top of your list, Verbatim is the only choice.
