Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 8X AZO with Branded Surface - 5pk Jewel Case Box - 95311, Silver

My 2009 Sony HDD/DVD Recorder is very temperamental with the type of discs I use and most of the previous brands I brought have all failed on finalising or stopped mid-recording so have been looking for discs that I can use with no problems and these Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 8X with the AZO Branded Surface have worked perfectly so far.📀👍😀PRICE- I am happy with the price that I pay for the Verbatim DVD+R DL 50 Spindle Pack on Amazon UK and USPURCHASEDI have purchased three 50 spindle packs so far from Amazon UK and am just coming to the end of the second pack and only two of the discs have failed. 📀👍😀PLAYBACK: PICTURE 📺📺 👍 AND SOUND QUALITY🔊🔊👍DVD RECORDER/DVD PLAYER: The picture and sound quality is outstanding when played back on my Sony HDD/DVD Recorder and my other Sony Blu-Ray/DVD Player. 👍😀📀PC: When played back in my HP computer CD/DVD Writer/Player the picture quality is quite grainy but sound is perfect but I am not sure if it is because it is a computer drive or if it is the software I use to play it back on.- I would definitely recommend Verbatim DVD+R DL 50 Spindle Pack 📀✅☑️👍😀AMAZON UK / AMAZON USI normally order my Verbatim DVD+R DL 50 Spindle Packs from Amazon UK but none were available at the time and as they come from the US I ordered them via Amazon US.AZO RECORDING DYE 📀📀📀📀Each disc has Verbatim's advanced AZO recording dye so it optimizes the read/write performance so I think that is why these discs have worked perfectly in my DVD Recorder where as other DVD+R DL Discs have not even though I am not an expert. 📀 ☑️✅- I have not tried using these discs on a computer high speed double layer CD/DVD writerTO NOTE 📝I did email the seller with my order on Amazon US as 'AZO' is not printed on the discs I have received where as my other discs had.I been reassured by the seller that the discs I have purchased still have the AZO Recording Dye Technology even though 'AZO' is not printed on them.

Seem to be of a very high quality as prior owners have indicated.

These DVDs were the lowest price online and are the only dual layer discs that work great in my finicky LG DVD Recorder. I have the LG DR787T, and if you're like me, or others, you'll probably fine that its one of the most problematic recorders ever made! I still have it, because its seems to be one of the only DVD recorders to record to DVD dual layer and Verbatim 2.4% is the only brand it will accept with little or no error. Beside Maxell, these are the only other recommended brand. They record well.These discs work on ANY recorder that accepts DVD+R DL recordable / playable media. I just mentioned my LG because if it can work in that picky machine, it can work in anything! I use a computer to burn DVDs too, but a standalone recorder usually gets me more hours of recording time (in my case, 11HRs on one disc!)I film weddings and receptions for a living so, I like to fit a lot of video on a disc without having to sacrifice quality. For example, if I have a 4 Hour video compilation, I don't have to put my recorder on LP 4HR. I can put it on SP (2HR great quality) and still get the quality of LP. These are the discs usually used in commercial films you buy from stores.There isn't anything I dislike with the product.I'd recommend these discs to video media professionals like me who are not yet ready to make the move to Blu-Ray but still want a high capacity disc, without sacrificing quality. DVDs are all but dead, especially as these SD discs can be unconverted to 1080p resolution on an HD TV.

This was my first experience using double layer media for burning, so while I have no reference points to go by, I must say I've not had a bad disc so far. I promise to update this review if things begin to change.I have two versions of Nero (6 and 8) on two very different computers, and I've noticed that they both automatically lower the burn rate to 4X (though I can pump it up to 6X on Nero 6) and wonder if speed accounts for the fact that "lesser" brands fail more often. I even have one of the hated Sony burners in my Core Duo 2 laptop with Nero 8, and it works, despite being HUGELY slower than with a Lite-On drive installed in my ancient AMD64 desktop.My only gripe with this product is, oddly, what drew me to it in the first place: the price. At $40.48 for a 30 pack you're looking at $1.35 per disc. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, when the product cycle for optical discs of this sort is quite mature, that it costs this much to produce them. Can it really be more than double the cost of two single layer discs which can be had for 20 to 30 cents each at fairly reliable quality? Perhaps...I've never made them myself. I will conclude in Verbatim's defense that this is the lowest price point short of the widely maligned Memorex discs. That's why I chose them, and all in all I'm quite happy.P.S.--It might be interesting to hear from those who have used both these and the cheaper Memorex discs to see if patterns in why things head south do so. I'll let you know if I decide to bite the bullet and try the competition at some point.
