For the price and performance, Verbatim products can seldom be beaten. Do not let the price tag fool you: there are DVD-Rs for sale at 15-20 cents each (these are 50 cents), but fail to deliver whereas these are flawless. 25 burns and 25 successes, all at 16x as advertised. I've ordered another couple of hundreds. Great performance! Highly recommended.

This was my first experience with -R discs. Product produced no coasters for the whole 25 discs in the first spindle. My DVD burner did not want to burn them at anything above 4X, but I never go above 8X on Lightscribe discs anyway.

I use only class 1 blanks for archiving photos. Using the DVD Identifier software, these are the best disks. Many manufacturers make good disks but then get subcontractors to make runs for price competitive disks with their name. These disks are both price competitive and Class 1.

So far I've only been using it to record movies off the television and it's worked perfectly. I even recorded a pay per view and the quality was great. No coasters here! I'd reccomend these to anyone and I'll be back for more when I finish what I purchased.

These DvD's are working great in our new Samsung DVD-R player.
We have made about 10 copies and I will be ordering another round soon.

No more Verbatim--
Seven coasters in spindle,
on my G4 Mac.

These DVD's are really good... I have yet to have any problems...

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!

Before purchasing these blank DVD-Rs, I picked up a cheaper brand, thinking there wouldn't be a noticable difference. Wrong! Quite a few coasters, highly frustrating. It's worth the slightly higher price not to wonder (as your DVD is burning) if the time/effort will even result in a usable product. Though no 50 pack seems to exist, a 100 pack is available.

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.

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.

This DVD is one of the few that will work on my DVD burner. I just wish they had the 50 pack.
