1.0 out of 5 stars Used to be reliable, December 29, 2007

By	E. Larson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Verbatim DL used to be by far the best DL media available. Reliable, stable in storage, and consistent high quality made by Mitsubishi in their Singapore plant, one of the highest quality DVD production plants in the world.

Not any more. Verbatim has outsourced a large part of their DL production to a plant in India, and now when you buy this media you have a high chance of getting made in India - this product is poor, often with obvious physical defects in the media like bubbles, holes and foil delaminates.

It is possible to still find made in Singapore cakeboxes on store shelves, but if you can't actually read the disk label before buying you are rolling the dice when you buy.

It is a real shame Verbatim does not offer the Singapore product as a diferent grade. It would be worth a few extra bucks to get a cakebox that had a 95% success rate vs. the 50% rate the made in India product gives.

Verbatim has really gotten a black eye in my book with this stunt.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Media, March 23, 2007

By	J. Coleman (Franklin, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

20 discs and not a single coaster. I'm not sure what better a review I can give to blank optical media than that.

For reference, my discs were burned using Toast 8 Titanium on a Intel Core Duo iMac Superdrive.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERBATM DVD+R DL 8.5GB 2.4X 20 pk Spindle, November 26, 2006

By	M. Roberts - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Best quality dual layers on the market tried several brands such as HP and Memorex and they don't compare to quality. Out of the full 20 pack spindle, no coasters with exception to one; but that was a program error not the disc. Wasted a lot of money buying the other brands and ended up with numerous coasters. I tested out this 20 pack and it is great! I highly recommend eventhough it costs a little more than the other Dual Layers on amazon it is definitely worth it, considering your saving so much purchasing them online than off;its about 2 dollars a disc online. Offline you can pay about 5-7 dollars a disc at general retailers for brands like HP and Memorex....Verbatim is even more than that per a disc. Great trusted brand for all my DVD's that require a dual layer. Enjoyed using this product for the simple fact of no coasters, will be ordering more soon, probably a higher quantity due to the price being low here online. It works at 6X on my computer; this varies depending on the model of your computer/dvd burner. Overall excellent quality highly recommend!
