I've used Verbatim for years and overall like the product (I made some recording over 5 years ago and went back and they played just fine). I was delighted that Wal Mart offered them through ordering online. As usual the disk worked fine but I did notice a failure rate of about 10-15 which was not the case in previous use. Still a great product but quality control not what it used to be. That said... would buy again.

I ordered 3 - 100 pack spindles. 2 of the product containers were damaged. The external shipping box was in good condition. There were too few air bags and the 2 that were used were poorly placed. 2 of the 3 product cylinder containers were badly broken and 3 of the discs had come out of one. The way they appear to have been unsuccessfully shoved back into the cylinder makes me suspect that at least one of the cylinders had been broken prior to or during packing. The center stacking rod had been off the bottom of one of the cylinders. All the cylinders had some or all of the latches broken that secure the base to the cylinder. I have used this brand of DVDs before. I have two DVRs that I use routinely. One of the DVRs uses almost all of the DVDs without problems. The other DVR rejects about one out three cylinders of these DVDs.

I have used this product for years. I have never had a bad disk and recording quality is excellant. Site to store was free, quick and the product arrived in good shape. If you need blank recording media, you can't beat Verbatim. Buy them and try them, You won't regret it.

Before I ordered this DVD-R 100 pk spindle I shopped around and read reviews... one caught my eye, complaining about the packaging (or lack thereof) for a similar 100 pk spindle, albeit different brand. Well I have to say my experience was equally disappointing, even though I used the ship-to-store option in hopes that it might somehow be safer... turns out it wasn't. I don't know if Walmart or UPS is to blame, or both, but let's just say their methods are not up to par. First of all the box used was too big for the product, so you would think they might use foam packing peanuts to fill the space... nope. They used two of those clear air packs, which wouldn't have been sufficient even if one of them hadn't gone flat. By the time I received the product one of the plastic container's locking grips at the bottom had broken off completely, the box had been thrown around so much the three small white circular space fillers at the top of the spindle had all somehow rattled off of the spindle altogether, and I was lucky not to find a box full of loose dvd's. Oh, did I mention that the top couple of dvd's were badly scratched to boot? Verbatim DVD's are great. My review is not of them, it's of WalMart/UPS, which apparently fail miserably, repeatedly. I recommend Verbatim DVD's, but I strongly suggest you go about obtaining them via another method, from another supply store completely.

I was weary or ordering online because other reviewers had said that some discs had arrived broken and such. I figured I could always return it to Walmart if so, but they all arrived in perfect condition. I have now burned two discs and they have come out as well as could be expected. Price was unbeatable!

I have never found another product that gives me the stability and quality that Verbatim does. Data retention is higher than other brands. The amount of bad discs in a spindle averages about 1 per 100. I like those odds and would recommend this product for all of your burning needs.

The discs perhaps are a hair thinner than the memorex or phillips i had used B4, but they seem rugged enough.They recorded and played back great. The price is certainly the best around.I was wary of ordering some on EBay that seemed REAL cheap as the brand I had never heard of.I call these a good value.

I only bought this item because of the price and I go to WM often enough so it was easy to use the store pickup. I have only used 1 dvd so far. I expect no problems with "coasters". Really, this is not difficult. Any name brand dvd would be fine. I used to buy blanks at Staples on sale but the store near me was closed.

I order three spindles of hundred and three spindles were broke, two were so bad I had to return them and you could not notice they were broke until you took off the wrapper around the spindle. The disks were great but what do you store the disks on til you use them. I think who ships them don't know how to pack them and the company should make better spindles.

These Verbatim DVD-R are one of the very few to use the "Azo” recording dye, which provides the highest level of read/write performance, reliability, and archival life. I stopped using cheap brands that would fail to mount a few months after burning and completely switched to these 4 years ago. I never had a single case of a DVD-R that stopped working and almost no DOA discs that would not burn. VERY highly recommended, don't buy anything else!
