Verbatim BD-R 25GB 16X Blu-ray Recordable Media Disc - 25 Pack Spindle - 97457

I've used the Verbatim BD-R 50GB discs frequently for a couple years. They are quite reliable. There is an alternative “Verbatim” 50GB BD-R disc sourced from Japan. It's an all-white, printable disc that you will find on Amazon and other sites. They are temptingly priced at about half the cost of the Verbatim discs you see on this page. I bought a spindle of 100 discs on the bay and many were defective. After translating comments from Asian posters at Amazon, I see others found the same visually obvious problem: white smudges on the outer rim of the discs reflecting lousy quality control. The “verbatim” brand name was evidently licensed by a less assiduous manufacturer in Japan. The manufacturer part numbers for these turkeys: VBR260RP100SV1, VBR260YP50V1 No brand of media is perfectly reliable. From burning discs of various types for 20 years I’ve learned to burn at the slowest available speed. The time investment is worth it because the output has less immediate and long term failures. With Blu-ray, I’ve never seen burning problems with 25 GB, single layer format. The 50 GB, dual layer format fails occasionally even with best quality, Verbatim media. Always use “Verify” mode with your burning software – some errors are not detected during writing, but appear later on reading. I’ve used some of the budget brands of blu-ray media and they worked fine, but I’ve only tried budget brands with single layer 25 GB, and then only a small sample size. The test of a media brand comes with the more problematic dual layer format. It takes a lot of experience to figure out whether an annoying failure rate is coming from hardware, software or media. I expect there are many good software burning packages. I suspected that the burner within my DVDFab suite was a factor in producing errors with 50 GB discs. I tried Cyberlink’s Power2Go burning software and it cut down my coaster rate sharply. Power2Go is the most reliable software I’ve ever used, better even than the venerable ImgBurn freeware standard. I highly recommend Power2Go. I’ve used two quality external blu-ray burning drives, plus a low cost external drive. If you want top reliability with frequent use you must fork-out for the best external drive from ASUS or Buffalo. Any configuration of hardware/software/media has worked acceptably for me with 25 GB discs. For 50 GB I’ve found the Buffalo drive to be slightly more reliable than ASUS. More controlled, extensive testing would be needed to be definitive. edit: I see pioneer has just come out with an internal BD burner. A lot of people swear by that brand. Perhaps there are good internal drive options beyond what I've tested. This concludes my TED talk.

No coasters so far, but I've always had good experiences with Verbatim.

The last two groups of Verbatim disks I bought produced more bad disks than good ones, and they are not cheap! If it happens with one more batch, I will look for other disk manufacturers! DO NOT BUY THESE DISKS! There is a good chance you will send them back, just like I am going to do. Out of 50 disks I bought recently, about 35 were bad!

I needed some BD-Rs for PS4 "testing" purposes and these were well rated and cheap enough. I was able to get 3 discs burned just fine, and the discs worked in the PS4. I was interested to see what color they were on the bottom since original CD-Rs were blue, newer ones are light green, and DVD-Rs are a purple blue. It turns out BD-R discs are....dark grey. A bit anticlimactic, I know. I was hoping for a really pretty Blue. Oh well, they were easy to write, worked in what I needed it to, and that's good enough for me.

fantastic discs, ive been buying exclusively verbatim bd-r dl since 2010. only complain is the price is pretty extreme, it always takes quite a bit of self debate to pull the trigger when i need to replenish supplies. but the product itself is unparalleled.

Used makeMKV with 42GB movie and it burned this verbatim bd-r DL disc in 26.5 mins, I saw speeds up to 8.1x using Asus bw-16d1ht inside vantec nexstar DX2 usb3 external enclosure. This is the DX2 not the original DX, replaced the power supply with delta electronics adp-50yh B power adapter for a laptop supplies 12v 4.16amps 50watts , connector is a perfect fit , asus fits great in the enclosure. I saw no bubbling or damage of this verbatim bd-r DL disc after the burn, someone else reviewed that their disc bubbled, that can only be from a burner that has a laser that's too strong. Get the one I use and it should work 100% Tutorial: use makemkv and select backup and check the box for decrypt these files. Use ImgBurn to burn those folders called bdmv, makemkv, certificate. It preserves all menus , subtitles, etc from the original. It will play on a PS5, which is known to not play burned Blu rays. Flash the stock 3.10 firmware with a cross patched firmware called 3.10 MK, makemkv than recognizes that libredrive is available and that microcode is enabled. *update - I bought this external case beginning of April 2023, it's now middle of Sept 2023, so about 5 months, its held up quite nice, I've ripped through 121 DVD's and 70 Blu rays with e burner and this case. The case has held up well. I did have a failure of the Asus bw-16d1ht which died pretty quick, the 2nd Asus bw-16d1ht I got has been holding okay so far however I've had to disconnect it and reconnect it a few times , it appears like it just stops being recognized possibly due to overheating. It could be because the case has not enough air flow and the drive is naturally hot, dunno. I did have to find a guy on the makemkv forum, his guide is called "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023", and his username is Billycar11, he makes custom flashers to enable libredrive/ microcode. The second Asus bw-16d1ht had a much more recent manufacture date which can explain why it was more reliable but would not allow me to use the 3.10 MK firmware, so Billy had to make me a custom flasher, very strange and cool , it executed using .BAT files which I haven't seen since the early years of windows. cost was like $25 but he used some strange payment app called Zelle. it updated asus to 3.11. if this drive dies he recommended pioneer drives. from reading amazon reviews the internal ones are more reliable, blly also has a list of specific models as well. oh also the delta power supply still works well

I have always preferred Verbatim or Maxell discs for long term use and storage. After thirty years those I burned are still 100% intact and data is perfectly readable without glitches. Never burned a coaster that was not my own fault. Never saw reason to change. Proper storage and care in handling is paramount for any disk. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

As Described. Still have to burn some data to the discs.

Excelente mídia! Incomparável com as porcarias genéricas, baratas e vagabundas que encontramos por aí. É caro, mas vale cada centavo. Nenhuma mídia deu problema, já gravei dezenas! Apenas comprem! É a melhor do mercado, uma pena não encontrar facilmente em lojas físicas no BOSTIL.

Works as advertised!

Rien à dire. Une boîte contenant des Blu-ray gravables (1 fois).

Every thing was good
