DVD+R DL 8.5GB 8X DataLifePlus White InkJet Printable, Hub Printable - 50pk Spindle - 98319

I’ve been using this company’s brand for 25 years and no one ever complained about the video not playing in their machine.

Consistently good burns from these disks and and good print quality as well. Kind of expensive, but worth it...

Used to be great quality blank, 0 toasters. This last batch however is not. First they do not burn at 8X but only at 4X. Write speed is uneven and drops to as low as 0.1 on ImgBurn (other than at the layer split which is normal). I use LG H20L and Pioneer 208D burners. Of the first 10 in the 50 box, 4 were bad showing a "used" message. The next 2 were OK except for the slow burn speed. Eventually I found out that the defective 4 had a promo for some Malaysian? movie company for a film named LAL Bahadoor shasthri. I hope that the rest of the blanks work but I won't know until I try them.

I have gone through several of these spindles. I use them for backing up data as well as distributing photos and videos to friends and family. These discs burn at full 8X with no problems: in multiple spindles, I had exactly one bad burn, easily less than 1% failure rate which I find acceptable. I have yet to hear of anyone being unable to read the discs in various computers or other devices. Every spindle I have purchased was manufactured in the UAE. It may be true that the first few batches were lower quality, but it appears that whatever problems may have plagued quality in the past are no longer there.

I've been using these for a long time and never had a fail. I do use an ink jet printer and they print fine but the image isn't real sharp but adequate for my purpose. They are not water proof. I will buy more when needed.

First of all, nearly all of the reviews here are NOT for this product. Most of the reviews here are for Verbatim dual layer DVD #96862, Made in Singapore. Honestly, the reviews should not have been transferred from that product to this product, which is 98319, Dual Layer DVDs made in the United Arab Emirates. I use a lot of DVD+R Dual Layer discs. Just in the past 45 days my duplicator (Epson PP-100) tells me I've run 3,637, nearly all of those dual layer. Previously I would only use Verbatim discs 96862, Made in Singapore. About three weeks ago, the availability of 96862 started becoming an issue, and the price started to spike (funny how economics works just like it is supposed to work). For a while I could get some through B&H, but then they discontinued them, so it became apparent a new, reliable disc would need to be found. I just went through my first 50 spindle of these discs (98319) and had no coasters. They worked flawlessly. I ran them at 6x. I'll test them next at 8x, but I'm optimistic they will perform well from the initial batch. As an added bonus on these discs, you can print all the way to the hub, whereas in the previous 96862 discs the print area did not extend as far to the center. I'll continue to test... and report.

After struggling with another brand, I did some research to see if there was an industry standard and found these to be popular on BH Photo Video. I have only tried 7 in my duplicator, but got a 100% pass rate on higher speeds. The quality seems much higher than discs I have used in the past. A little expensive, but at least you know they will work.

VERY dependable... CAPACITY MISLEADING... only has 7.96 GB usable writable space. On the Verbatim label: Speed: 8x (I burn at 4x for max non-fail rates) Capacity: 8.5GB in TRUTH, the maximum usable capacity is 7.96GB So if you are thinking... wow, I can get double the capacity of a Single Layer DVD Data Disc with a Double Layer... you will be frustrated by the much reduced capacity. I often hit projects that are just a tad over the 8GB mark and this leaves me using two single layer discs, when I had planned to use single DL Discs... the label is misleading. The label "should" read Capacity: 7.96 GB NOT Capacity: 8.5 GB HUGE difference... Why am I giving it Five Stars? Well, because in sleeves of 50, I haven't found a single dud. Print surface is mat and you can smudge the finished image/label... I suggest getting the water proof or water resistant printable surface AKA TuffCoat DVD-R This review is for part number 98319 by Verbatim DataLifePlus Double Layer Printable Disc They do NOT currently offer a DL TuffCoat DVD at this time and that's just sad... Would I recommend this printable media? Yes, if you don't care about the capacity beyond 7.96 GB

They work perfectly every time.

not working more then 10 disc are failed in burning

Definitivamente es un must para las personas que se dedican a hacer entregarles con DVD todavía, es mucho mayor la calidad de una entrega con uno de estos discos que con uno comprado en tienda departamental. Buen precio.

These are the second lot I have ordered, I know others say they have had problems, I have used these both on my PC and my Panasonic DVD Recorder and only had one disc failed.

Arrivato prima dei tempi dichiarati, in perfette condizioni. Purtroppo non posso dire ancora niente sulla qualità perchè non li ho ancora provati, ma mi fido della marca (Verbatim), fin'ora non mi ha mai deluso, non ricordo se e quanti si sono bruciati nella masterizzazione. Se sarà il caso aggiornerò la recensione, per ora ne consiglio l'acquisto.
