Most Reliable Discs

I have entered the recordable DVD scene about 3 months ago. Scince then i've burned about 200 DVD's. I fugured they would all work just like cd's, but alas I was wrong. I got many bad DVD's to serve as coasters. Then I came along this grat deal at Amazon.com for Verbatim DVD's and decided to give them a shot. For years I have known that Verbatim makes quality products. Yes they rebadge their media like everybody else, but they will only use a company that produces quality material. They wont sell you cheap because they have a reputation to protect. They are the top disc company out there (just look at who is producing the DL discs.) The discs I got (and the ones I believe these are ) are MMC003 which is produced by Mitsubishi. They are awesome discs which have never failed me. I burn them at 12X too. They are usually a bit more expensive but it's worth the price. These discs are reliable and will last for years keeping your information safe. You dont want to get budget disc that loose the data after a few months (this can happen.) If your data is important to you pay a bit extra and go Verbatim.

So Far So Good

I just received my Verbatim DVDs and am pleased to report that they are still using MCC media. What does that mean to you? That means it isn't junk, that's what. MCC media is the Holy Grail of DVD media. In fact, with some DVD burners, these 8x DVDs burn at 12x. I already tossed the packaging out or else I would have listed the drives capable of this. You can't go wrong with these DVDs, as you get what you pay for. I found that out the hard way, buying the el cheapo Velocity DVDs for $26 for 100. The first batch last year were actually MCC media, but later they went to Optodisc and those are real junk, rated at 8x but only capable of 4x. Go with these Verbatim DVDs. They may be twice the price of the discount DVDs, but you won't be wasting your time burning coasters.

I use an 8x Cyberdrive DX082D DVD+R/W burner, also marketed as a kHypermedia drive, with an incredible 8 meg buffer, as opposed to most DVD burners with their paltry 2 meg buffers.

Works great at 8x!

I have an NEC burner and these discs work great at 8X. Some people buy them because some Verbatim's carry an MMC003 media code and can burn at 12X. The truth is, Verbatim use to make their own media, but now just rebadges them with thier name and are actually made by varied media manufacturers. In the end, you get varied results when you burn faster than what the media is rated, becuase the media is not always the same, even though it was packaged as Verbatim. If you intend to burn at 8x, then these will be fine for your purposes. But if your intent is to burn these at above 8x, be careful, different burners will get varied and unstable results, becuase you'll never know what you'll end up with.
