The mechanical specifications of Verbatim media are very precise, and data written to it can be read in a wide range of drives. As a result, Verbatim disks demonstrate a high level of compatibility between drives running at a wide range of speeds. Verbatim CD-Rs provide the highest protection against accidental damage. Take your data on the move with these colorful 8 cm CD-Rs. They are small enough to fit in your pocket, yet big enough to store 185 MB of information! The CD-Rs measure 8 cm in diameter and are perfect for carrying around information about your company such as reference materials, hundreds of pictures, interactive presentations with the possibility to link directly to your website.
...Iwent out and bought a pack of verbatim dvds' a few days ago. The first thing that i noticed just after my purchase of these dvds' is that my wallet felt rather empty at about £6 for each dvd :( I hoped that they could redeem themsleves with their renowned quality. Everyone i have asked has reccomended verbatim dvds', and i think they are right. They are very good quality, and should last a lifetime of abuse. If you are looking to put some of your data or a movie on to dvd, then you will want it to be good quality, so why skimp on the price? You would just have to use more of the cheaper branded dvds' because they might fail writing or might peel after a while, so you may as well go the whole hog and get the verbatim ones, they are quite expensive, but they are VERY good quality, and as i said will last oyu a lifetime....

Advantages: So far they're 100% problem-free Disadvantages: Never say never with CD-Rs
...data other than music are best used for burning audio onto and it is this format that is used widely in the copying and burning of MP3s onto listenable CDs.
WHAT DOES A CD-R NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK?
Three things.
1. A computer.
2. A rewritable drive, not just your bog standard CD-ROM drive.
3. Burning software. This is usually available free from the net at places like download.com and enables you to put your MP3s in the right order ready for burning.
WHAT DOES THE 650 MEAN IN THE PRODUCT TITLE?
There are two types of CD-R size. A 650 and a 700. These numbers correspond to the number of megabytes of space available. As a general rule, for music burners, a 650 will hold 74 minutes of music whilst a 700 will hold 80 minutes of music. In this instance, it's the lesser of the options but what six minutes (or one...

Advantages: Reliable Reliable Reliable Disadvantages: Not the cheapest out there
...I have been using this type of CDR media since I first got a CD-R drive. A bulk purchase of this type of CD-R media was made when the CD-R drive was bought. Frankly I feel te media is what you would expect from a quality name like verbatim. These CD-R's are very reliable. In the numerous burns that I have done using this media I have never had a single problem.
As you would also expect from a name like verbatim the price is a little higher than other options out there.
I would certainly recommend this type of CDR media to anyone who wishs to make CD's of important data that you want good reliability on....

I brought this discs for about £6 or £7, assuming they would work fine... BUT, 3 computers would only read them as about 90mb, what's going on here? All drivers up to date etc. So, they were just led on a shelf doing nothing for ages... Then, when I... more
