Verbatim 8x DVD+R DL Media (95484)

Well worth the money! Over 50 burns and no coasters!

Still a bit pricey but never have errors with these, even burning at high speed. Other DL's sometimes miss at 1X.

My first experience with Double Layer, and so far, no problems at all. Burned several discs and all read perfectly in different players.

Don't waste your money on any other brand of DVD-DL media. Verbatim is the best. TDK and Memorex are for making coasters only

Great product and lots of space!

Pros: MADE IN SINGAPORE BABY!!!!!JUST THE BEST YOU CAN GET!!!!Cons: HAHAHAHA!!!!!!MADE IN SINGAPORE BABY!!!!!JUST THE BEST YOU CAN GET!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

all other dual layers suck. I bought some memorex dls and wound up with an entire spindle of worthless coasters.

These are the best CD/DVD I have used to burn video games and video. it is pretty fast and doest not damage dvd leneses.

Pros: Good discs no complaints.Cons: noneGood discs no complaints. none none

Pros: They're DVD+R DL disks, what's to say?

These discs are well worth the price. All of the dvd's I have burned worked perfectly. Verbatim makes the best quality dual layer dvd's. I would not use any…

Pros: Worked perfectly for burning large-format ISOsCons: None! They all worked well - not a single coaster.Worked perfectly for burning large-format ISOs None! They all worked well - not a single coaster.

Strengths:-I have never had a MADE IN SINGAPORE disc not burn properly. -Protective layer ... Weaknesses:-They cost more but are well worth it. -Verbatim has since…

Pros: This product worked absolutely perfect for me. It burns great. Although my main concern is not speed but whether or not it burns successfully. I hate to burn something only to find out that it did not burn successfully. Out of 60 discs, only 2 did not burn successfully and that was due to the fact that the source disc was faulty. Other than that, these work well. I read a lot of reviews talking about the difference between discs made in IN and the ones made in Singapore. These discs where made in Singapore so there must be something to the IN vs Singapore thing. I would recommend that you try these if getting a successful burn is your main thing. If speed is your main concern, then you may want to try the higher priced Verbatim discs. I know that for my money these are great for me.Cons: I just wish they were cheaper.This product worked absolutely perfect for me. It burns great.

Pros: Name brand and reliableCons: Costs more than other brandsName brand and reliable Costs more than other brands

I assumed these 8x dvds would have the usual Verbatim brand quality, because I had purchased and used the purple-tinted 6x Verbatim +R dual-layer dvds previously, and found I could burn them at 8x for the best quality. I actually got 99% burn quality score when rated with DVDinfoPro error testing, after burning them at 8x. So, now I purchased this 15 pack spindle of Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 8X Branded, which are not purple-tinted, and have more type on the disk, as well as purple/blue packaging versus the 6x purple/orange. I can only guess these are manufactured in a different plant, as they are the WORST dual layer dvds I have used. (I have previously also tried Memorex and Matrix...Memorex wasnt too bad). I can only get them to burn effectively at 2x, having tried 4x, 6x, 8x, and even 12x. They usually do not fail outright during a burn, but if you test for errors afterwards there are usually terrible PIO / PIE issues in the 2nd layer. I did manage a quality burn at 2x as previously mentioned, but I did not pay for 8x dvds to burn them at 2x. Stay away from these.

Pros: I bought these when the pic showed the ornage label. I was shipped the blu label. These are still MIS and I haven't lost a single disc.Cons: DL media is too pricy.I bought these when the pic showed the ornage label. I was shipped the blu label. These are still MIS and I haven't lost a single disc. DL media is too pricy. Verbatim is the best quality you can get.

Pros: Average discs.Cons: I bought these thinking they were going to be the same quality as the older model Verbatim dl's (before the whole Made in Indi a fiasco). They aren't.

I bought these thinking they were going to be the same quality as the older model Verbatim dl's (before the whole Made in Indi a fiasco). They aren't. Out of 30 discs I got 8 coasters, which is horrible for the price I paid for these. I'm going to look for another brand. Verbatim discs simply aren't worth paying a premium for anymore.

Pros: I wrote a negative review of these but it turned out it was my drive which is 3 years old. I upgraded to a new Lite On burner and these discs work great now.Cons: Did not work with NEC ND-2510A drive.I wrote a negative review of these but it turned out it was my drive which is 3 years old.

Pros: Burned 11 of 15 disks so far and no coasters. 8-10X for speed makes a fair difference from the older 4X.Cons: These are now outsourced as well. They are also 8-10X, not anything less like other types of recordable media. My 4X writer did not even recognize it as being writable.Burned 11 of 15 disks so far and no coasters. 8-10X for speed makes a fair difference from the older 4X. These are now outsourced as well. They are also 8-10X, not anything less like other types of recordable media. My 4X writer did not even recognize it as being writable. I'm using a Compaq supplied Lightscribe drive and so far so good. My first concern was where they were made, but maybe the disks have to be of higher quality to meet the higher speeds.

All had same issues.None Out of the entire batch only 3 disks burned. All others got session fixation errors. Tried the disks on 3 different burners/machines. All had same issues.

Pros: I posted a couple reviews back flaming these disks but I've figured out how to get them to work in my player. Ignore the "Pros", "Cons" & "Other Thoughts" titles. I'll just tell you what I did. If you don't know what your doing, then DON'T try this at home. Doing so could turn your drive into a paper weight.Cons: These are indeed MII (Made In *ndia) Purple label 8x Verbatim disks. They have a "MKM 003 000 (00h)" Media ID code. I use a much loved Benq DW1620 to burn and, as expected, the ID code isn't in my firmware. This is why disk manufactures always tell you to upgrade your firmware if your having problems. I can't do that. No more firmware upgrades. I downloaded "MediaCodeSpeedEdit" and added MKM 003 to my firmware installer. Then told the new MKM 003 listing to use the MKM 001 write strategy. Saved the new firmware and then re-flashed my drive. Now the disks complete the burning process at 4x instead of failing 100% of the time mid way thru the burn with only 2.4x available as an option.I posted a couple reviews back flaming these disks but I've figured out how to get them to work in my player.

Pros: reasonable priceCons: haven't had any luck so far using a lite-on sata sh16a7s w/ws04 f/w. one disk wouldn't burn at all. two other burned but would pixalate in jvc dvd player. going to try x4 burn to see if i get a keeper.reasonable price haven't had any luck so far using a lite-on sata sh16a7s w/ws04 f/w. one disk wouldn't burn at all. two other burned but would pixalate in jvc dvd player. going to try x4 burn to see if i get a keeper.

Pros: It's Verbatim. Nothing more need be said.Cons: None.It's Verbatim. Nothing more need be said. None. Over the last couple of years, I have swapped exclusively to Verbatim for my media. I have never ONCE had a dud out of Verbatim. Having used more than three dozen differnt makes of media, I can honestly say that this make is superior to other makes. Doesn't matter if you are using a Sony, Samsung, NEC, Lite-On, Pioneer, Plextor, Asus, or Rosewill burner, if you have verbatim in there, you won't get a coaster because of the MEDIA. I have burned over 700 DVDs and over 1100 CDs in the last four years. Get this media.

Pros: Work great for what ineed them for.Cons: higher price than other dvd+r dlWork great for what ineed them for. higher price than other dvd+r dl

Pros: I just purchased and received 2 of these, thinking that they'd still be made in Singapore. I received one made in Singapore (with the orange box as pictured) and one made at the new plant (with a different navy blue/purple box). The pros is that you may still be lucky enough to get a box made in Singapore.Cons: The con is that it seems like Verbatim really is moving all of its manufacturing plants to the new place and that all of their disks will probably be made there, including this one. Let's just hope that they improve in the quality, up to the standard of their Singapore made ones.I just purchased and received 2 of these, thinking that they'd still be made in Singapore.

Let's just hope that they improve in the quality, up to the standard of their Singapore made ones. I didn't burn using these disks yet... so who knows, maybe they did improve on these new manufacturing plant-made disks and these 8x DVD+R DLs could possibly be better than the 2.4x ones made there (for some reason, I can't use the country's name in the post...).

Pros: a lot faster than 2.4X, this is the blankDVD you can trust no matter what brand burner you use. just put it in and burnCons: oh, are you kidding, it's flawlessa lot faster than 2.4X, this is the blankDVD you can trust no matter what brand burner you use. just put it in and burn oh, are you kidding, it's flawless I've tried a few different brands, this is the brand you can trust. (the 2.4x had some reliability issues, not the 8x ones, do the math 23.99/15 = 1.6/disc as of 2/17/2008 & 34.99/20 = 1.75/disc, it is faster and cheaper than 2.4x)

Pros: NoneCons: Tried nero, imgburn, etc. These dvd's give you two choices for burn speed: Max or 4x, and neither one works.

Pros: 1. Media ID = MKM003. This is a first class media code. Other disks that I have bought from Verbatim have been MKM001, which is first class media as well.

I'm sick of people expecting things to work so fast and perfect when they are trying to steal things. I understand you may get a bad patch or something.

Anyone smell price fixing on the upper end there? Verbatim dual layer discs consistently get the best reviews and when they are formally tested for quality, they come out as the best there too. Speaking from experience, if you go for lower quality, the discs will be unusable in 2 years or less. I still have Verbatims that scan almost flawlessly in my testing hardware more than 4 years after they had data burned onto them. Taiyo Yuden makes the best DVD+R discs, and Verbatim definitely makes the best quality double layer discs. Google CD F reaks and you will find a lot more info there on this subject.

In conclusion, even though the outlook is kinda bleak for high quality DL media, it is good to know that not only are prices coming down on the 8x official DL
