Verbatim 43533 DVD-R 4.7GB 16x Printable 50 Pack Spindle

perfect just the job, good qaulity

Received quickly very pleased with item would buy again

Disks ordered and delivered on time. Good price too!

I've been using Verbatim DVD-R 16x discs since 2006, and they usually give excellent results with my Sony HDD recorders. The last batch, however (2 x 100 spindle pack) is well below par. I reckon at least 20% of the discs in the first pack were rejected by my recorders with the dreaded message "The disc is dirty." I had hoped that this might be due to the minor transit damaged to the pack - the spindle had broken off at the base - but the first 4 discs out of the undamaged second pack had the same problem; the fifth - and last used so far - was OK. Although the product ref stays the same, the country of manufacture can vary. This particular batch was made in India. However, so were the discs in my previous order of 2 x 100, which were problem free. I discovered a long time ago that the rejected discs were not actually useless. I simply had to change the dubbing speed from "Fast" (which is usually dubbed at 16x with these discs) to "SP" (which is dubbed at 1x), and the recorders were quite happy with them - and produced results which I could not distinguish from a 16x dubbing. Being forced to dub at 1x is not so big a problem now that I have 4 recorders. Even so, having paid a premium for top brand 16x discs, it is annoying to have to dub them at 1x. But I've decided to give Verbatim one more chance with my next order. UPDATE 19/5/2014. The final tally of rejects for the second tub of 100 discs was 44. The rejects were not completely useless, of course: they wouldn't dub at 16x, but they were OK at 1x. I ordered another tub of 100, and it arrived in a very poor state. Amazon had packed it sideways instead of upright, and the base of the tub was smashed, with several loose pieces, and with the spindle broken off. If the discs had been made in India, like the previous batch, I would have sent it straight back for replacement. However, this batch had been made in Taiwan - the most reliable location, in my and others' experience - so I decided to keep it. So far, I've used 15 and only one has been a dud (wouldn't dub at 16x, but OK at 1x).

The DVDs are as you expect. Needed some to record old camcorder movies to disc. Haven’t bought a spindle pack in 25 odd years but the spindle isn’t robustly or thick made as it used to be. Meaning packaging needs to be good to ship these as first one I received was broken to bits with all tabs broke and discs loose. Risky buying but hard to find a decent priced pack in stores now.

I use these to make copies for my brother-in-law; and a friend or two, who haven't got a Blu-ray player. Quality is very good at just on hour's play, but still very acceptable at 2 hour's playtime. I haven't tried more than two hours although I can set it for 8 hours per disc. But for 1 hour programmes the result is very good and a 2 hour film would also look and sound pretty good, providing the source material is okay. Only snag is it takes almost 1 hour to copy and write the disc for a programme just lasting 45 min. So if you're in a hurry, get a machine that can copy onto Blu-ray quality disc at high speed.

Used these before, good dvds. Next day service

Best discs around, good performance and quality brand.

The item is just as shown and described. Shipping took a while, apparently the first shipment was misdirected somehow, but they eventually reached me. I have to take another star off for the packaging. Item was just rattling around in an over-sized box with no padding at all and the outer case was cracked up the side.

Buono

Buenos DVD cumplen con su acometido. Pero la parte imprimible no cuenta y no comparte la opinion de los otros clientes. Estan bien para pedidos simples o guardar datos pesados, Peliculas, Juegos o lo que sea en DVD-R de 4.7GB

Nota : J'ai attendu la consommation de tous les DVD de la boîte avant d'écrire ce commentaire. Jusqu'à présent, j'identifiais mes vidéos personnelles gravées sur DVD avec des étiquettes autocollantes imprimables conçues à cet effet. Le niveau de qualité du résultat obtenu était correct, mais pas transcendant. Le problème majeure que j'avais constaté était, qu'à la longue, certaines étiquettes se décollaient, même durant la lecture du disque à l'intérieur du lecteur DVD du salon, ce qui n'était pas bon pour l'appareil. Ayant acquis une imprimante CANON PRO 100 possédant une fonction d'impression DVD imprimable très efficace et devant réaliser des coffrets vidéos souvenirs du mariage de mon fils (un boîtier 3 disques : 2 de fichiers vidéos et 1 de fichiers photos), j'ai acheté pour la première fois ce type de produit. Et le résultat est largement à la hauteur de mes attentes. Concernant l'impression : Le résultat qualité est remarquable. Personnellement, j'ai été impressionné. J'ai commencé la distribution de boîtiers et les premiers retours sont très positifs. Les gens ont l'impression que ce sont des DVD issus du commerce. Avec l'imprimante CANON et son logiciel dédié, ça a été vraiment très facile de concevoir et d'éditer les faces d'impression. J'ai travaillé sur 3 modèles et chaque impression a duré environ 3 mn (hors manipulations). Concernant les gravages des disques : Les fichiers vidéos et photos ont été gravés avec le logiciel CDBurnerXP (PC équipé processeur Intel Core i7 avec 8 Go de mémoire vive et WIN 7 64). Tous les gravages ont été réalisés avec succès (0 défaut), chacun d'entre eux ayant duré en moyenne 4 mn. Je suis donc extrêmement satisfait de cette première expérience avec ces disques VERBATIM imprimable. Et je continue...

Los dvd-r verbatim son, sin duda, los mejores del mercado. Estos verbatim son imprimibles, es decir que con una impresora especial se pueden imprimir en su superficie, por ello son totalmente blancos; esa es la única diferencia que hay con los verbatim dvd-r normales, en cuanto a calidad y funcionamiento son idénticos. A mi personalmente me gustan mas estos, simplemente los marco con un rotulador en la superficie. Como algunos saben, los verbatim son producidos en 3 países distintos, dato muy relevante para saber la calidad final del producto, los mejores son los hechos en Singapur, luego están los hechos en Taiwan y por ultimo los hechos en India. Pero no os debéis preocupar por este detalle, si se diera el caso de que no os funcionaran correctamente, amazon.es os cambia el producto sin problemas, ya que su calidad esta garantizada 100% por verbatim. A mi me enviaron una tarrina hecha en taiwan y hasta el momento "0 problemas". El precio al que lo compre fue 13,88€, una verdadera ganga y más si tenéis el envió gratis, en 2 días lo tenía en casa. Estos verbatim son perfectos para grabar backups de la ps2, o películas o datos, lo que queráis. Tienen una capacidad real de 4.7GB y una velocidad máxima de grabación de 16X, incluso llega a 18X en algunas grabadoras actuales. Lo mejor es grabarlos a una velocidad baja para evitar errores de grabación, sobretodo en juegos de la ps2.
