| 762945 | 2009-04-07 22:49:00 | The best Verbatim discs are made in India or Taiwan. I think you'll find that any discs made in India will be the worst quality. Taiwan is probably in the middle making some bad, some good ones. The best quality ones are made in Japan, but don't seem to be sold in any shops i've been to. The secret is to burn at half the advertised maximum burn speed. The secret is having a good burner (not necessarily the fastest one) & buying decent quality discs so you can read off them again in a few years ;) So far, Imation & RiData have failed for me. I have avoided Princo because of their reputation. TDK have been good for me. |

| 762949 | 2009-04-08 03:42:00 | In the days before DVDs, and video tape was the rage there were only about 2 companys that made it. One of them was BASF of Germany. They made it in big rolls and what they use to do was to test the tape on the rolls for quality. The good quality tape was sold to the main stream brands and the lesser quality tape was sold to the lesser known brands etc. I don't know whether this sort of procedure is used in the manufacturer of blank DVD/CD or not. :) |

There is NO reason to assume that a Verbatim DVD+r are even manufactured by the same company as Verbatim DVD-r. They tested a range of DVDr Brands with several drives. |

Hardly reliable :( |

| 762953 | 2009-04-08 05:48:00 | Zippity Never Assume - He might have a photographic memory you never know:-) I normally use +r disks. I also have a cakebox of Imation DVD-R's (100 Pack) here and about 2/3rds of them are stuck together. The first ones on the top were ok but as I got through them over time with pulling them apart they were giving me errors. I was going to get them replaced but probably left it too long now. |

They tested a range of DVDr Brands with several drives. Accepted that the manufacturer could be different but what size sample did they test to come up with the conclusion that Verbatim DVD-R were always poor quality? They should have known that result is rather unusual and looked for the cause. |
