Had some issues not unlike those here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42487
Specifically a couple of discs not being completed at 2x, so last 10-20 mins of movie is not there. Another burned correctly but is playing up towards end of movie when played on a DVD player (fine on a computer). Burned a couple at 1x and they seem okay though (except for a couple of minor audio skips on one disc, that could have been dust though). Although even at 1x I don't trust them for standalone playback and will reburn when I get the discs replaced.
Verbatim obviously knows there is a problem as they are sending out replacements without even wanting the bad discs back. So I'm left with 20 or so of these bad blanks.
Anyway after that verbose preamble here's the question. I'm wondering, if I use them for data at 1x, is it reasonable to expect the leftover bad discs will not go crook on me if they burn okay in the first instance? i.e. if I burn 4,699,000,000 bytes of documents onto one of these discs at 1x and the data is burned correctly byte for byte, would it be likely that in a few months time the discs won't read correctly on a computer?
