Verbatim 43533 DVD-R 4.7GB 16x Printable 50 Pack Spindle

Just what I needed! Arrived on time and no damage to the packaging. Will enjoy burning my old videos to dvd.

just what I was looking for

Time for me to qualify the title. Yes I am a wedding videographer in the highlands of Scotland and have been for the past four years. I have roughly about 35+ clients per year so I burn about 210+ discs per year. Now most of the reviews I have read give the impression you use them for personal use and data storage.However, my use is for business and they are tested to the max by my clients. If you burn these on your burner and it is yourself reading them back on your PC you will probably always have success. My DVDs are burnt for all sorts of DVD players, probably new DVD players and old ones to.Here is an overwhelming endorsement for these wonderful disks. Not one single client has had a problem with these discs. Not only that, each client gets five disks and they give away the other four and loan them out to more people also. I estimate that nearly about 200+ different DVD players per year are using these discs to playback the weddings I produce.I burn these discs at 4x speed with a bit rate of between 6 to 7.5 Mega Bits per second, this is very high for Standard Definition video. Not only that, the video's are on average 1 hour 45 mins and the largest being 2 hours 55 mins long. So even the auto change over does not cause any of the client DVD players problems. I know quite a few Videographers who still use two Verbatim -R DVDs for the weddings. I decided after a lot of research on line to use these discs. I use Adobe Encore 3.0 to burn my master copies and then Nero to burn the remain 4 (6 copies per wedding)Finally, for best results in burning, especially for video, always burn at the lowest speed possible. In the case of these discs Encore says 8x I always burn at 4x. In the case of the Verbatim -R, maximum speed 16x I still burn at the lowest 4x. It is impossible to argue with my field results. All my clients ever say to me is what a fantastic video, not a peep about the physical DVD. Verbatim are the best and for my business I would never use anything else.I hope this review helps and you should now be able to make an informed choice. Just for the record I would advise against the Verbatim DL-R as they did fail on a clients DVD player. I sent them out hoping they would be ok but they were not. So I sent the replacements in the Verbatim DL+R and they worked a treat, no complaints. So for single layer DVDs I always use Verbatim -R and for dual layer Verbatim DL+R.These disks were delivered the next day to me, very fast.Many thanksEddie

30 No. of my March 2024 order for 300 DVD-R discs (3 packs x 100 discs) would not record. On examination of the 30 discs they all have what resembles the end of a small fingerprint on the edge of the disc, an obvious flaw in manufacture, I guess to be of the surface coating. Generally this product is superb and as such I will re-order . 30 discs is 30% of the order. Several orders with Amazon previous to this one have been flawless.

Bought this item previously so I had no hesitation in purchasing again due to being very pleased with my purchase.

Great item well packaged fast delivery 5***** seller 👍

I have tried several different blank DVD products. Verbatim are the cheapest of those I have found 99.9% reliable. (There is a lot of junk out there that isn't.)Packaging, delivery time, delivery carrier, & payment collection on these Verbatim 50 DVD+R spindles were 5-star.Tip for inexperienced buyers of blank discs to record to at home (from PC or by DVD recorder) :Be aware that DVD recorders and writers sold for the "home user" market are shabbily built. Philips and Sony have both let me down badly. Amazon (with whom I contracted)fobbed my complaint off on to Sony. And vice versa. Be clear : it's the SELLER'S responsibility to rectify "unmerchantable products", not yours. If the thing you bought credibly exhibits faulty MANUFACTURE, within SIX YEARS, consult the Government's Office Of Fair Trading. Manufacturers' tattle about "expired warranty" doesn not trump the 6-year law. Obviously, you must show that the fault is very unlikely to have been caused by "fair wear & tear". By law, it's the SELLER who has to challenge the manufacturer, not YOUR job.The products typically do not write to blank DVDs as reliably as do the industrial DVD "burners". In particular, even after diligent "finalization", DVDs written on one product can be unplayable, or keep freezing, or won't display title lists, etc, when you try to play on another recrder/player -- EVEN THE SAME MANUFACTURER'S RECENT, DIFFERENT MODEL. However, if you buy or rent a DVD burnt by a major supplier, they always seem to play OK. Inference : home user electronic kit is tripe. If it don't woik, it ain't cheap.But Verbatim's discs seem OK, provided you initialize, record, then finalize on the SAME MACHINE. Don't use Sony's "VR" recording standard if you want to play on different manufacturers' machines. You may not need its "advantages".I have misgivings about DVD technology. How many of my home-produced DVD library will still be viewable in 10 years' time ? My VHS tapes (& floppy discs) on the other hand are still usable after 22 yrs. Hey-ho.I will buy no more DVD recorders. Editing facilties on them are Neanderthal. Instead, install good quality editing software on your PC (with large hard drive); a good TV tuner ; & a good quality DVD writer. Cheaper, better, more reliable & much quicker to work on than a DVD recorder. Don't waste time with the rubbish software (TV-recording or video-file-editing) pre-installed with your new PC : it's junk.Hope this all helps some folks.

DVDs are fine fortunately but the packaging was awful. One small piece of brown paper in the box for padding was not sufficient and the DVD plastic casing was broken. DVDs ok more by luck.
