5.0 out of 5 stars best DVDs that I have found, June 13, 2006

This review is from: Verbatim 95098 4.7 GB up to16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD+R (100 Disc Spindle) (Electronics)

I've tried several different brands, and these are the best. I've burned over 700 DVDs and no coasters. Memorex is the worst and should be avoided like the plague. Peace.

2.0 out of 5 stars No longer the quality they used to be - made in India, November 10, 2010

This review is from: Verbatim 95098 4.7 GB up to16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD+R (100 Disc Spindle) (Electronics)

I've used to have good success over the years with Verbatim quality and they used to be worth the extra few dollars. Sadly this is no longer the case, you may need to look elsewhere, I am disappointed.

This purchase from November 2010 shows the discs are now made in India, so even though they have the same product code as the ones that used to be made in Singapore or Taiwan, they are not up to the same standard.

They have a very heavy chemical "stink" to them. The few discs I have leftover from the previous Verbatim purchase have no such smell.

During burning, there are several "pauses", even at only 8x - again, only on the ones from India and not Singapore/Taiwan, with the same burner.

"Disc Quality" scan by Nero CD-DVD Speed shows many more errors on the India made discs vs Singapore/Taiwan discs.

So perhaps Verbatim sold off the rights to use their name for another manufacturer or perhaps the India factory is not up to par, but I am upset that I wasted money and trust on this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best outside of Taiyo Yuden, August 28, 2009

By 

Edwin Malnick - See all my reviews

This review is from: Verbatim 95098 4.7 GB up to16x Branded Recordable Disc DVD+R (100 Disc Spindle) (Electronics)

EDIT: This review applies to Verbatim 95098 specifically!

Bearing in mind that some media and some optical drives just do not get along, I would say that these discs (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.) are the closest in quality to the cream of the crop (Taiyo Yuden) that I have come across.

The thing to remember when buying blank DVD media is that brand name means little: you want a good manufacturer. For instance, I have burned some TDK media for a friend and noticed that one batch was manufactured by Ritek and another by CMC Magnetics.

I strongly suggest checking this page before you buy:

Be sure to check out the freeware tool DVD Identifier, as well, so you know who is manufacturing your media:

Hope this helps to cut back on "coasters!"

EDIT February 2011: Not sure why Amazon removed my links to websites that review and rate CD/DVD/BD media after they had been up for quite some time. I suppose a quick Googling will suffice....
