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

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

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.

Excellent burning qualities. Never a problem.

I bought these a year ago. Made in the UAE..The quality of your DVD burner can imapct the coaster rate with these CD's. My drive was purchased in 2010, and I started to see high failure rates on both DVD+R single layer and double layer disks. I replaced the DVD burner (they are pretty inexpensive) and my last 5 Verbatim DVD+R DL's have burned perfectly. As a bonus, the new DVD burner is 4X faster.I use ImgBurn to create an ISO image which can be burned and verified. It takes more time, but it's important to know the burn is error free.I am archiving photos/video on hard drives. I keep two separate drives, and the DVD copy is extra insurance. It's worth paying extra if I get the better quality. I'll be buying more.

These DVDs have performed consistently at nearly a 100% burn rate every time I have ordered them. I have tried using other, cheaper brands and been disappointed with high burn failure rates, as well as cheaper printable DVDs from Verbatim (Verbatim Life Series) which also gave high failure rates (10 garbage discs in a row gets tedious very quickly). The extra money spent on these was well-worth guaranteeing minimal time and materials wasted.These discs also provide a much higher print quality than other printable DVDs I have used. Text and pictures are crisp, and colors are deep. If you are looking for a professional-looking finished product, these are the top discs that I would recommend.

They work

I have been using Verbatim's DVD+R DL white inkjet printable discs (# 96862) for several years. I've bought probably 25 spindles of them. I have literally gotten 100% perfect burns with entire spindles. I ALMOST ordered this "newer version" (# 98319) until I saw the "made in the United Arab Emirates" marking. I've read that these produce 1 coaster for every 3 burns. The older ones produced in Singapore are the ONLY ones to use!!! The venders that have those are pricing them 60% higher than what I had been buying them for. If you can find the older version for under $60 for 50, buy 'em. Verbatim must be like all the other corporate hacks trying to get the cheapest price at the expense of quality.WELL! I'm updating this review to admit defeat. I'm not going to pay over $100 for the older version discs, so I'm going to try these out. I will post another update after I try to burn the first 10 and see how many shiny Frisbees it get.10/16/13 - I've attempted to burn 14 of these new 98319 discs. Out of those I've created 4 shiny round things that won't play. That's 28%. Verbatim probably doesn't give a darn about these reviews or whether their product are 100% reliable. Oh well, I could still give from $115 to $240 for the original 96862 disc. Naw! I'll just try to find a reliable replacement.12/8/13 Update - These newer # 98319 discs are pure junk! Out of the first (and only) 50, 24 have been unusable and every, yes EVERY other one has bad sectors, they skip, pixelate and pause unexplainably. Don't believe 90% of the reviews here. They ARE NOT for this 98319 disc. As is usual, most of the reviews are for another previously reviewed model. I have always been a Verbatim fan. I'm DONE!

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.
