And yet I give away Yudens, and keep Verbs for myself :S

Personally, I won't use even use the DVD+R Verbs anymore (garbage) . ..

It has been quite a few thousand discs since I've used any disc other than 16x Sony or 8x Yudens for myself

As far as using discs that I know are going to go bad . . if you're giving them or burning them for grandkids less than 10yo, I see no reason to give them the 'good stuff'

My problem with the Verbs is that there are too many varieties nowadays.

Made in India, UAE, Taiwan (both ProDisc and CMC are making them there for Verb)

I still do most of my burning with my BenQ drives and they consistently give me scans in excess of 95 . .

The best Verb burner I have seems to be my Sammy . . and the ProDisc MIT seem to burn best

As far as the MII Verbs . . GARBAGE !! The UAE are better . but still not nearly as good as a Yuden or Sony

Personally, I find paying between $30-$40 for 100 discs to be reasonable and will continue to do so . . .

My verbatim LTH disc worked, and passed with flying colors. A buddy borrowed my backup, and it played on his BD player. His player is less then a year old ;)

LG just earned my respect. The Verbatim batch seen above (ID - VERBAT-IMc-00) will burn at 8X without any intervention from me. No patched firmwares or anything of the sort. Very impressive. I think I'll likely stick with 6X for now though.
The LG WH10LS30 also reads considerably better than the Lite-on iHES108 so far. Will let you know how this new batch does.

I got a question for you pros. A friend wants me to DVR his son playing football on my cox box. I can do this but he wants a copy on a dvd or cd. I'm not savvy on getting the info out of the box to my pc and burning what the files might be.

@ omegaman Thnx for that BD+R info.


You guys serious about verbs going down the drain that much? You got me going now, and it's been a while since I bought Sonys, which I almost always did at Staples on sale. The Tys I haven't bought not so much for the price as for the delivery time from Cali.

I don't know about coasters, though that last batch of 200 discs from Egg of DVD+R Verbs did have some duds which just wouldn't burn at all. 1st time ever on this.

@ bratcher You mean those Hotans are holding up good for your own collection? How long you been using them to know if they'll stand the test of time? These are packaged discs which need a empty spindle to put them in? Thnx.

I'm leary about any discs not the usual ones that have proven their worth, especially for myself.
