Rating: Summary: Almost perfect. Review: I have use Memorex, Fuji, and TDK's DVD-r and they are all made from the same materials. Sony has a nicer pearl surface, but Verbatim Digital Movie DVD-r is the "king." This version is the best looking and use Verbatim's Datalife Plus technology: "Metal Azo recording dye" for longer lasting. Since I have yet encountered any burn failure with any DVD-r like with CD-r, how long the DVD-r will last is the question. The quality top surface materials have what look like some vinyl and silver spray on to resemble the old Hollywood's film record/tape.
It is listed as 4x speeds but I can get 8x write speed on my LaCie's 16x d2 DVD±RW Double Layer (NEC drive).
Rating: Summary: Fantastic! Review: I use an NEC DVD writer and have had no problems with these discs. Excellent look, high quality, and a great price. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Making coasters Review: I've tried to burn a number of movies with my TDK DVD burner and have had little success. When I use the TDK discs I have no problems. I would stay away from Verbatim DVD-Rs.
