Advantages: Good quality, nice price, oooh a spindle Disadvantages: same as most dvd-rw's
these are mainly for making DVD movies that you can play on your home DVD player, or DVD drive on a computer. Apart from DVD movies, you can make a data discs, which is great for backing up large amounts of data from your hard drive. E.g.: if you want to reformat your computer but keep all of your music or photos. These are much better for doing this than CD-Rs and -RWs, as you can put roughly 6 or 7 times the amount of data on them as you could a normal CD-R.
Because these discs are +RW, make sure they are compatible with your DVD-RW. If you have a DVD-RW, then they wont work, but if you have either a +RW, or a +/- then they will be fine also.
These can be re-written up to 1000 times, unlike DVD-R discs which can only be written once. This is good for backing up data before a format of your hard drive, as you can put the data on your ...
Advantages: reliable, every disc works, long shelf life Disadvantages: Pricy
I bought the first batch of Verbatim DVD+RW from Amazon in 2004 and then bought some more in 2006 from DigiUK.com.
Reliability
They are used as re-writable disc for temporarily storing holiday photos, documents, electronic statements/bills etc until nearly a DVD full --> burn into DVD+/-R disc. Also, they are temporary recording of TV programmes using my DVD recorder. Most of them are used regularly since 2004. Almost 5 years on none of them shows any sign of failure.
Everything is still retrievable e.g. one directory of my photos taken back in Dec 2004 and stored in a pair of them (double backup) are still okay. I can copy all the photos to my PC and still can see them (both discs tried to make sure). Therefore these discs can last for more than 4 years from the date of purchase, with the date of manufacture well before ...
Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: Unreliable, poor value for money
how much sweat (disregard of the swearing words) I produced at that moment. A rescue mission was launched - try differenct DVD writer from friends. Eventually a friend suggested to use his ISObuster software and it turns out to be the holy grail.
Most of my photos were saved except 30 or so photos and that is small change in comparison to those that I managed to get back.
Because of this mistake, I have decided to buy more Verbatim DVD+RW (the ten Verbatim discs that I bought in 2004 were fully occupied) in to store my precious photos and never use the imationDVD+RW again.
What happened to the rest of the spindle?
Well some of them I just use them as 'slow burning' 'write-once' discs for temporary storage of not important files or video clips. Surprisingly I have store some file in 2007 and still can retrieve them now from ...
