Verbatim DVD+R DL Double Layer 8.5GB 8X Life Series White Inkjet Hub Printable - 50 Pack Spindle

A very reliable brand that I have used for over 30 years. No problem with this order either.

I crashed my Windows operating system. To download the repair disk, these were needed. I couldn't find them locally. Glad I found them here.

Pros: Good for labeling with marker. So far no write errors (first 4 discs). I only burn long movies on these, or backups if I need 8GB.Cons: After burning standard DVD video on a BD writer, these discs do not play in my BD player. These are the only discs that give the "invalid" error when starting in the BD. But they will play in a standard DVD player. However, after burning on standard DVD writer, they will play in the BD player. I recommend burning movies on these discs using only a standard DVD writer. No other disc I used out of 3 brands had this issue.

Using Verbatim disc since 2000.

I have ordered these several times and I use them to preserve video. Got the Verbatim brand on the recommendation of my brother who works in video film and imaging. They aren’t the cheapest buy but the price is good. The Verbatim brand is known for quality, seldom a bad disc in the batch and durable for the long term.

I received a very bad stack of discs. I tried the first four discs and none of them worked. They would burn and then quit at about 61%. Then I pulled a disc from the middle of the stack and it didn’t work either. I bought the discs less than two months ago but didn’t use them until now as I was finishing discs from a previous order. I wrote to the seller and explained about the defective discs. They have refused to replace the discs. They said they were sorry that I was not satisfied with there product. I am hoping that Amazon may help me, but who knows? I have used Verbatim discs for a long time so this is really unbelievable to me.

These disks have proven to be consistently dependable. Cheaper discs aren’t cheap if you’re throwing out every third or fourth one due to a defective disc. I don’t have the time or patience to fool with dirt cheap media. I like Verbatim discs because I know I probably won’t have waste time and money burning it twice.

They store data as expected. Only time will tell if they deteriorate over time.
