I use Verbatim BD-25 media, have never had one to skip or glitch in any way, and I can tell absolutely no difference in the original and the back ups in either picture or sound quality, and that is with an 82 inch TV and a 7.1 surround sound system. I honestly do not see how the two pass high quality settings would make my back ups any better. If those options are needed to make a high quality DVD-5 or DVD-9 I will gladly trade 15 extra hours for the $2.00 difference in price per disc.

I have even had cases of movie only BD25 conversion were i could the difference when high speed was used as opposed to two pass high or highest quality so please stay away from generalization.

It may be fine for some titles but definitely not all or most of them.
