Customer Review: Weird Science
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed DVD-R double capacity disks for a lengthy transcription job. First, I went to an electronics store and bought a package of five "inexpensive" 8MB/240min dual layer disks and then proceeded to record.
None of the disks would work in my Vista Media Center - not one. They would begin to burn and get to about 35% copy - and then auto eject. My Vista OS, like Sibyl of ancient days, said nothing to explain the problem.
Then I went to Amazon and bought the disk stack noted here. Every one (so far) worked fine.
I recommend using my example as a bad and a good one. Beware of deals! It had a happy ending, though, and so I can attest to Amazon selling a product that works. Response time and delivery of the goods was very fine. Customer service is well known as outstanding.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks, Amazon!

Customer Review: Burn at a slower speed when you have problem DVDs
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't bought Verbatim blank DVDs recently, so I can't comment directly on them (but since you can't post a review without choosing a star rating, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, and giving them a 5 star), but I've just been dealing with a batch of Memorex 8x dual-layer DVDs, and I'm getting a lot of failed burns to them, at full 8x speed, on my two Macs (a Quicksilver 867 MHz with a Pioneer DVR-115D burner, and a Mirrored Drive Doors 1.25 GHz dual with a Pioneer DVR-112D), using Roxio Toast. I dropped the burn speed to 4x, and at that speed, they're burning and verifying fine.
So if you find yourself stuck with a batch that's failing to burn or verify, drop the burn speed down a notch, if your burning software allows it, until you've used up that batch, and then go buy a better brand, which from these reviews, sounds like Verbatim is one.
Customer Review: Perfect burn, but deteriorates
Summary: 3 Stars
Like a previous reviewer, I have had a number of perfect burns with this media. However, 8 months later, I'm getting new bit errors on several discs. I first noticed the degraded bits that become failed seeks (not pixelation, instead the player can't skip to a chapter and exits) - the actual errors may have developed earlier elsewhere in the disc and only now got into the indexing. While this media may not be intended as archival, I had anticipated a lifetime measured in years instead of months.Customer Review: A very good purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
If you decide to burn a regular movie in a regular empty dvd, sorry!, that's not possible my friend, 'cause with all kind of information like other lenguages, subtittles, comments from the director, producer, bla, bla, bla, that are included normally, it takes more than the capacity of these devices. But when you use these new items, wow!, the quality is just equal to the original movie plus all the movie menu!. CAUTION: YOUR DVD BURNER MUST HAVE A DOUBLE LAYER RECORDER!Customer Review: works fine
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first time I've had to buy dual layer dvds. I got them to burn a movie I made onto it. I want the best quality I can for this movie and something that always affects the quality of a dvd is the burn speed you set it at. I set this one to x2 or even x1 just to be safe. The two copies I made came out fine. Burning a dvd at it's fastest speed possible is just asking for trouble. Always take the safe route and go for the slow burn and they'll turn out fine!
