Advantages: Enough space Disadvantages: Keep stopping
Well, I don't know what to say about this pack. Verbatim always had good CDs and DVDs. But the last 3 dvds just didn't did their jobs... Maybe it's just my computer that burns really bad dvds or just my program for burning them.... It's also posible that I have DVD player that isn't so good. I really don't know but i know that my Verbatim DVDs keep stopping... I keep them in boxes, so they aren't damaged. I will decide if I will keep buying them or not. There are other types of dvds to buy so this is not the problem... Ok, i hope you don't have the same problems than me... In general this pack of dvds is totally cool and I just wanted to write about this, because maybe I'm not the only one with this problems... ...
Advantages: reliable, every disc works, long shelf life Disadvantages: Pricy
I bought the first batch of VerbatimDVD+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: Excellent to Store data, home video & music files, 4.7gb, 16x speed, just 5 mins to burn Disadvantages: None, well None for me
First of all just like to mention that for me personally VerbatimDVD's are the best QUALITY DVD's.
The Verbatim 16xDVD has 4.7GB of data or 120 minutes of video can be recorded in just 5 minutes. YES JUST FIVE MINUTES, I was surprised by myself that the DVD could be recoreded so QUICKLY.
the 16x discs will ensure any recording to be of the highest quality and the multiplicity compatibility of Verbatim's discs make the DVD's very ideal for sharing and Storing computer data. Great to store Home videos and Music Files on.
Features of VerbatimDVD:
-4.7 GB capacity

- The DVD+R offers up to 4 hours of the highest quality MPEG-2 video and is (well it was definatly for me) a cost effective solution for storing, editing of data, audio and video files.
