Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Verbatim 95310 8.5GB 6x Double Layer DVD+R DL Discs (20pk Spindle)
Customer Review: Used to be reliable
Summary: 2 Stars
I've used nothing but Verbatim for years. I got a series of coasters in a 20 pack of Dual layers about 3 months ago (Feb-Mar 08) so ordered another set of 20 DLs. Got about 50% coasters in that one too. I was quite frustrated. I found a post that indicated the problems are with the 20pack boxes that are outsourced or something (possibly India?)...Sure enough I ordered a 15pack and they were fine, 100%. I've gone thru 2 other 15 packs in that time with no problems.
I'm done forever with the 20packs, it's just too expensive to go trial and error until they get thier quality control issues figured out. I will continue on the 15 packs until I get coasters there and once that happens will leave Verbatim forever.
I've had no problem with the Verbatim 4.7gig DVDs, just the Dual Layer DVDs.
It's too bad, used to quality you could bank on.
Customer Review: Perfect...No Coasters
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this product to record TV programs (mostly sporting events) from my DirectTV DVR, where I save them until I'm ready to transfer them onto DVD. I need to be ultra picky about quality because these recorded images will forever more be projected onto a 92" screen (which exposes any & all flaws to the max). My objective, then, is to achieve superior playback of programming that is more than 2 hours each.
So far, I've gone through an entire 20-DVD spindle with zip, nada, zero defects.
Previously, for programs having run times of less than 2 hours, I'd been tempted to use single-layer blank DVD's, but at only $1.40 per blank Verbatim DVD, why risk or settle for inferior quality? A no brainer in my book.
UPDATE: Feb. 25, 2009 - I've now gone thru 5 sets of these 20-DVD spindles without a single failure.
Customer Review: Can't beat the quality for these Made in Singapore discs
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these on June 2nd and the ones I received were in fact Made in Singapore. I've been using these Verbatim DL discs for a while now to backup photos and data from my computer and out of the last 50 I used, not one single coaster. I know that sometimes even after you back up your photos and data with no errors, when you try to access it you may get a corrupt data error. I'm happy to say that I have not yet encountered any errors yet either. I love these and will never buy any other brand!
p.s. And I bet the person who marked this and the previous couple of reviews saying these discs work great as "not useful" probably is bitter about the bad batch or the Made in India version they got. As I said, as of early June, these are the Made in Singapore versions and they are the best Dual Layer discs out there.
Customer Review: Simply the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say with any degree of technicallity what burner I'm using but I've burned these on 3 computers (mostly using DVD Decryptor) and have never had a failure in over a hundred burns. There were some slightly defective copies in the beginning when I tried to decrypt with DVDD and burn with Nero (movie menus sometimes didn't work) but once I started burning with the decrypting software that cleared right up. At the moment my computer is a new Lenovo dual core running Windows Vista with the stock burner and it works great. I don't know why people disparage an entire manufacturer because they can't use a product correctly but if you check the numbers you'll see these work for a lot more people than not. There might be garbage involved somewhere but I don't think it's the discs, and certainly not all of them.Customer Review: 2 out of 3 Coasters so far. I am not impressed.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these discs after hearing about how great Verbatim discs were compared with other manufacturers. I had been using Memorex (and will be again) and had experienced 3 coasters out of 60 burns. Not bad at all. Anyhow, I saw the Verbatims on sale and picked up a 20 spindle. As the title of this review states, 2 of the 3 burns thus far have resulted in coasters. I am waiting on the 4th, but am not hopeful. I am going back to Memorex. I should have bought them as usual, but was lured by the sale on Verbatim($3 less, usually $5 more than the Memorex). There really is no excuse for this abhorrent level of quality control. Ummm...make that 3 out of 4. Utter crap even at 2x burn speed. Oh yeah, the one that did burn looks really nice. Then again, so do the Memorex. Buyer beware...
