Customer Reviews:

Very expensive, about 10% failure rate [Posted on 2007-06-30]
What's to review? Most worked. 2 out of 20 did not. Haven't used the other 30 yet. For the money paid, I would expect all of them to work!!!

Works with Macs! [Posted on 2008-01-28]
If you tried the Delkin gold DVDs on your Mac and discovered you are the proud owner of 50 new gold colored coasters, take heart. These Verbatim discs are the tickets, they work great and should last 100 years, longer than most of us. The only downside is I've been using 4x speed to insure they work every time. Your best option at the moment for archival backup.

I read Brian's review with some concern. I'm glad to say I've used 45 w/o a failure / problem and am ordering a 2nd spindle. Thanks, Verbatim!

Perfect For Video Transfer [Posted on 2008-06-08]
I have been transferring my old home movie vhs and 8mm tapes to dvd for 3 months with a Nero moviemaking program. I have used 64 of these discs, and am about to order 50 more. In the beginning, 2 discs failed, but I am certain that was because my computer was scheduled to perform updates at the same time that it was trying to burn a dvd. So I scheduled updates for a time when I was not burning a dvd, and I had no more problems. They seem to be slightly thicker than standard dvd's and are really tight when I try to fit them back to back in storage album pockets, so I use every other pocket for a card describing the contents of the adjacent dvd.

First three burned were flawless. [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I burned three copies of the family slides movie and all three work correctly. The real test will be when I burn multiple copies of the original scanned slides in TIFF and JPG format, should account for 20 discs.
