I thought I was buying something special but in fact these have been the worst dvd's I have ever bought. I had an advvertising job which meant producing 30 identical copies and apart from the first one all the others were corrupted so badly they would not play. I contacted the firm directly on two different occasions regarding my problem and they did not even reply.
I then used Infiniti discs on the same project and did not have one fail.
Moral of the story. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND THE FIRM!!!

Rating: - excellent value and quality
I recently bought a spindle of 50 of these DVDs and have used about half of them and not one has failed so far. Unless all the dodgy ones are clumped together at the bottom of the spindle they would seem to be as good as it gets at a very good price. I have used Verbatim CDs and DVDs for quite some time and have not had any problems with them. Maybe the reviewer with the high failure rate should look at his hardware as another reviewer suggested.

I think your problem could be your DVD-RW drive. Try updating the firmware for it! If that doesn't work, buy a new drive (they are less than £20) - Samsung 200 series are probably the best to get.

I was getting lots of failed DVD burns (coasters), then i found out that my DVD-RW firmware was about 2 years and 8 versions out of date! I installed the new firmware, and it has not failed since.

These Verbatim printable DVDs are top quality, as are the DataWrite printables i use.

Rating: - Very poor success rate.
Out of the 50 disks, 15 have failed. It doesnt really help when your making sponsorship DVDs for when you have no money! To be honest, I dont care anymore if they're good for printing...
A 70% success rate is crap if you ask me, not reccomended.

Considering I paid £12.99 for a 25 pack of the same discs from WHSmith, this 50 pack is remarkable value. I've tried several printable discs from other manufactures in the past, but I feel that these Verbatim discs are by far the best. Unlike some they actually burn at 16x and are easily printable giving you a smooth crisp disc every time. Highly recommended.
