I use the blank DVD exclusively to hedge recorded TV shows with my old but well-functioning HDD / DVD recordable devices from Pioneer. So far I have no negative experience with Verbatim blanks made, the DVD's are also after years langerung still with our recorder or other players easily playable. the price I think is justified. Therefore, full marks. Whether this also for the burn in PC / laptop are to be used, I can not say, though, because I DVD's for for ages do not use.
