I need to format these discs to be able to record onto them in the way I want and I've never had any problem before doing this with +R DL.But so far, I've tried doing this with 4 of the discs in this new set. 2 have worked fine but the other 2 haven't. One of these came up with the message "incompatible" and the other just wouldn't be formatted.So what to do? Is it a duff batch?

tried 10 times using 4 different dvd/br drives within different pcs to burn a 6.8GB video (needed to make multiple copies of a wedding dvd). every time they failed between 10% to 90% of the writing cycle with the same error given each time. luckily I had just enough spare dl discs remaining (none printable and a different brand) that worked with out fail,so I could at least get 1 set of discs out.these have got to be the worst set of dl dvd discs I've ever bought, I'm now in the process of sending them back for a refund. shame I can't give negative stars because they are worse than useless.

I have not experienced any problem with these discs which is what I would expect from Verbatim, I use them in an Asus DVD writer on my PC and on two Panasonic DVD Recorders and all devices work fine with these discs. I did once a while back have problem burning DL discs but found it was the software as when I switched to another software the discs were ok.

Bit expensive but good discs

My sole reason for the need to use dual layer is to make movie DVDs with the best resolution. I have used Verbatim many times with NO problems, but these failed in 4 of the first 6 tried (2 of the first 3 were OK so it was some time before I realised the extent of the problem, by which time the return window had expired). The problem is failure to play past the "layer change point" on the disc - a problem I have encountered with cheaper dual layer DVDs. Having established that the DVD recorder is not the problem, I must express my disappointment and surprise at the poor performance of this product.
