Verbatim DVD-R DL

[Inventive Software]

I spotted these in my local Maplin, and wondered whether they'd be as reliable as the DVD+R DLs that are revered? They were made in Singapore if memory serves. I can't use them as my laptop's DVD rewriter drive doesn't support DVD-R DL discs.

Hi!

As has been posted many times at this forum and others, regardless of brand, D/L DVD-R should be "avoided like the plague" - highly unreliable...

So the fact they're Verbatim makes no difference eh? Fair enough.... :)

It has nothing to do with their reliability, but more to do with their design. For burning regular data to, they are probably just fine. But for DVD Video, DVD9-R has technical deficiencies in that they must be burned to the edge.
