Outstanding!! Highly recommended!!
After using a 25 pack of these, I bought two 25pk Kodak DVD-Rs, only to be disappointed and regretting buying them in the first place. So I went back to these Verbatim DVD-Rs, which have once again proved their worth and impeccable efficiency. I've used these for all sorts of multimedia stuff (movies, songs, documents, software) and so far no problems encountered. Also these DVDs last for a very long time, if kept in good condition. I still have Verbatim DVDs from last year, which are in perfect working state.

Just to ensure all DVDs have a high success rate after burning, I burn all my CDs/DVDs at half the speed.

These are definitely worth every penny!! And with a lifetime warranty, what else could you want?!

Very good...
I have used these discs with Nero and a Pioneer DVR-109 writer with no failures or 'coasters' for nearly 2 years, which is as long as I have been using the respective versions of this disc. I have kept the firmware updated on my writer and always leave the computer to do it's thing rather than multi-task when writing.

The discs have proven reliable and stable - what more could I want or need?

Anecdotal evidence - might not perform every time
Sometimes these have provided perfect results! Other times I've had glitches/picture break up for about 3 minutes, around 20 minutes into the recording. I don't think this is particular to these, comparitively high quality, discs.

I've only used one spindle of these. Tesco x4 DVD+RW have the problem more consistently. A couple of unbranded liqudated stock(could be anything) DVD+R sometimes have the problem. Total number of burns in no more than a dozen across all these discs. I'm using a domestic DVD player to burn home movies etc, not data in a PC drive.

Conclusion: nothing to do with format (+/- R/RW), maybe quality* issue and/or burn speed. I'm going to try Taiyo Yuden manufactured discs that use the proprietory Taiyo Yuden dye. *No worse than most discs available.

Great discs
I've tried burning some of these and the burn results are excellent. They play on both my DVD players (including the DVD player on the Playstation 2). They also work well for burning Playstation 2 DVD-ROM backups (if you have a modified console).

General performance of these discs are very good. I can't notice any kind of pixelling, skipping or audio/video syncing issues when burned as DVD Video.

For the blank media techies out there, these have a Media ID of MCC 03RG20 and incidentally, these are Made in Taiwan. Rest assured these are excellent quality discs and second only to the legendary Taiyo Yuden manufactured blank DVD (have a look at the CDfreaks forum for more details).

I saw this exact product just last week in Currys for £12.99. So that's a saving of over £6. This is a real bargain and I would definitely recommend. 5 stars.

25 out of 25 recorded and played.......
Despite some poor reviews, I've had 100% success with these discs. They were recorded on a cheap PC DVD recorder, and then all played back perfectly on a mega-expensive, mega-fussy Toshiba player. Out of a spindle of 25 discs, I achieved 25 perfect recordings which is better than any other discs I have used. I've no idea if it helps, but I always record at half the stated speed of the discs - hence the above results were had by recording at x8, rather than x16.

I think that judging the performance of media such as this is very difficult to do objectively. My personal experience is that often the media is blamed when the real problem lies with a faulty DVD writer.
