Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - Performance was great as usual.
Despite all the controversy related to the quality/performance of this media, I have yet to experience any issues at all. I have used the MII and MIS Verbatim disks over the past several years with flawless results. I suspect that many of the problems reported are coming from those who are using marginal or poor quality hardware that has overly constrictive media requirements.
Rating: - No recording problems again
I ahve never had a recording problems with these disks. Not one has failed me to date.
Rating: - reliable verbatim
I wish I could find another Dual layer DVD +R that is as reliable as this product and cheaper...at a dollar fifty US per disc...it is quite costly for bulk use
Rating: - Verbatim dual layer (8.5 G) DVDs
Overall I've had better success with Verbatim than any other brand of dual-layer DVD I've tried. I've experienced occasional problems with some copies "freezing" either momentarily or repeatedly upon playback, but I'm not sure if this problem had anything to do with the media used as opposed to the burner/software. By and large, though, Verbatims work well.
Rating: - Disappointing results - 33% coasters
I have not had great success using these. I am currently using a MacBook Pro, purchased new in March of 2008, with the SuperDrive and using Roxio Toast for DVD burning software.
I have had complete success with a couple of other brands of 4.7 GB DVD media with no coasters. These Verbatim DL discs have been very unreliable and have failed about a third of the time. At $3.00 a disc, that gets too expensive.
Like I said, I'm very disappointed in these results.
