Product Description

Style: 5-Disc

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring 8.5 GB of recording capacity--enough for four hours of DVD- quality TV and video or 16 hours of VHS-quality footage--this five-pack of double-layer 8x DVD+R discs is ideal for large-scale video projects and data storage. The discs offer nearly double the capacity of standard DVD+R formats, with two AZO recording layers on a single-sided disc. As a result, you can store a ton of information without having to flip the disc in the middle of a movie. In addition, the discs are supported by high-speed double-layer DVD writers (up to 10x), letting you burn 8.5 GB of information in roughly 12 to 15 minutes. Best of all, the discs still maintain playback compatibility with most DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. Compatible with DVD+R DL recording drives from Sony, Philips, Lite On, and other manufacturers, the discs are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

What's in the Box
Five discs, five jewel cases.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST DVD-DL media!!!, December 27, 2008

This review is from: Verbatim 96542 8.5 GB 8x-10x Double Layer Recordable Disc DVD+R DL - 30-Disc Spindle (Electronics)

I have bought and burned over 200 of these discs and I have never had a bad disc! Today the blank media market has been flooded with cheap discs that won't work after a few uses or even burn properly! However, this specific blank media is still high quality and won't fail.

This review is from: Verbatim 96542 8.5 GB 8x-10x Double Layer Recordable Disc DVD+R DL - 30-Disc Spindle (Electronics)

This was my first experience using double layer media for burning, so while I have no reference points to go by, I must say I've not had a bad disc so far. I promise to update this review if things begin to change.

I have two versions of Nero (6 and 8) on two very different computers, and I've noticed that they both automatically lower the burn rate to 4X (though I can pump it up to 6X on Nero 6) and wonder if speed accounts for the fact that "lesser" brands fail more often. I even have one of the hated Sony burners in my Core Duo 2 laptop with Nero 8, and it works, despite being HUGELY slower than with a Lite-On drive installed in my ancient AMD64 desktop.

My only gripe with this product is, oddly, what drew me to it in the first place: the price. At $40.48 for a 30 pack you're looking at $1.35 per disc. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, when the product cycle for optical discs of this sort is quite mature, that it costs this much to produce them. Can it really be more than double the cost of two single layer discs which can be had for 20 to 30 cents each at fairly reliable quality? Perhaps...I've never made them myself. I will conclude in Verbatim's defense that this is the lowest price point short of the widely maligned Memorex discs. That's why I chose them, and all in all I'm quite happy.

P.S.--It might be interesting to hear from those who have used both these and the cheaper Memorex discs to see if patterns in why things head south do so. I'll let you know if I decide to bite the bullet and try the competition at some point.
