This review is from: Verbatim 43522 16x DVD-R 4.7GB (Spindle Pack of 25) (Accessory)
I have used these discs with Nero and a Pioneer DVR-109 writer with no failures or ‘coasters’ for nearly 2 years, which is as long as I have been using the respective versions of this disc. I have kept the firmware updated on my writer and always leave the computer to do it’s thing rather than multi-task when writing.
The discs have proven reliable and stable – what more could I want or need?

Take heed – check and re-check!, 6 April 2006

This review is from: Verbatim 43522 16x DVD-R 4.7GB (Spindle Pack of 25) (Accessory)
After using 25 of these, I ordered 50 Imation DVD-R, only to discover that the very first one – on (fast forward) checking! – had picture break-up, so I went back these Verbatim DVD-R 16x which have proved flawless on my Toshiba RD-XS32 DVD/HDD recorder. As ever, Amazon too proved flawless with their courteous and rapid communication and refund in full – top marks once again! Sometimes it really does pay to check and re-check – and to purchase where there’s a guarantee you know you can trust.

Despite some poor reviews, I’ve had 100% success with these discs. They were recorded on a cheap PC DVD recorder, and then all played back perfectly on a mega-expensive, mega-fussy Toshiba player. Out of a spindle of 25 discs, I achieved 25 perfect recordings which is better than any other discs I have used. I’ve no idea if it helps, but I always record at half the stated speed of the discs – hence the above results were had by recording at x8, rather than x16.
I think that judging the performance of media such as this is very difficult to do objectively. My personal experience is that often the media is blamed when the real problem lies with a faulty DVD writer.
