This has happenened with the 25 and 50 disc packs, the ones where they aren't individually wrapped. I dont know if they're coming from a different factory or it's a bad batch. The ones in packs of 10 with their individual cases are as far as I know fine. They're a reasonable price and until recently I hadn't had problems. Russ

Recently I found my Verbatim dvd copy THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT, which I copied off my laser disc years ago, developed such severe freezing problems that the disc was unwatchable. Since my old laser disc player has long been retired, I tried re-copying the disc using a fresh Verbatim disc hoping the cloning process might correct the problem but the flaws were still there. As a last resort I tried making another copy this time using a Sony blank not expecting any different results. Surprisingly, the Sony disc copied the movie perfectly. I'm not about to ditch Verbatim discs in favor of Sony based on just one incident but I thought the story was worth mentioning anyway.

The hard coat is especially nice since it is more resistant to dust and fingerprints, but any Taiyo Yuden DVD is top quality. http://www.rima.com/prod/1777-100.html For Dual Layer DVD's Verbatim's Singapore made DVD'S are excellent! I've gotten quite a few coasters however from Verbatim's non Singapore Dual Layers so it's a good idea to check the label before buying.

They were tested, along with other labels, but some laboratories in Europe and the results were in favor of Verbatim. But of course an incident is always possible - and some labels can change their methods of fabrication, as well.
