i haven't bought verbatim in a long time. are they still decent or are they all crap made by prodisc?
I have always used Verbatims. However, the last batch I bought was full of coasters. I would always get the "Power Calibration error" from imageburn. I cleaned the lens, updated firmware,,,,but still got this message with 75% of the discs. The Verbatims i was using were the ones with the white Inkjet Printable label on the disc. I just went out and bought a small batch of Sonys,,,and everything is working fine now. Is there a problem with the Inkjet DVDs that Verbatim puts out? More specifically, are the DVDs in this ad good or not? Thanks in advance for the help.
sometimes you can get a bad batch. it doesn't mean they are all bad. i bought some taiyo yudens from supermediastore a while back and each disc was coated in dust. i ordered like ten 100 packs and 7 out of the ten had the dust. i didn't discover the dust until months after buying the dvd-r's cuz the first two 100 packs were fine without any dust. i'm hesitant to buy online again so i'm gonna try out these verbatim's since they are so cheap. it kinda sux cuz i've never gotten great quality scans with verbatim media no matter what burner i use. i do have a new burner now(liteon 20A4P) and i'm hoping the verbatim's burn better with it than with my benq burners.
The last five spindles I bought from Amazon were all MII. Not one coaster yet (over 400). Lite-On DH-20A4H08C 20x DVD±RW DL IDE Drive with LightScribe from local electronics store. So far so good.
My experience with 16X Verbs has been that the "Made In" can tell you something. The cakebox with the Made in Singapore tend to be the best but harder to come by. The box with Made in Taiwan while not as good as the MIS discs are pretty reliable and worth buying at a good price. Then the Made in India which IME can be dodgy, I have had problems with these particular Verbs maybe 1 in 15-20 been bad.
Microcenter has Verb 25 pack white inkjet hub printable for $6.99 each. I didn't check the other Verb prices though
I just left Sam's Club one hour ago. They had Verbatim 16x fifty pack spindle for $10.99. Now that's a deal.
Thats a great deal!! Better than what I found at Microcenter for the pair of 25 pack Verb white inkjet hub printables I bought today for $6.99 (plus 8.25% tax) today....
Don't bother checking my store in Arizona cause I wiped the store out(20 spindles) and they don't do rain checks USA
I ordered these and I am having the same problems I had with the last verbatims. About 6 out of every 7 does not work with my burner. I keep getting the power calibration error. I have updated firmware.....Any ideas???? Sony dvd+r discs work fine for me.
