I have resorted to the Verbatim because I had recorded for backups in blanks of XLayer and Platinum up to 50% total failure by burning error (abort during burning) and wanted to doubt my burner. With this product, after half the spindle so far no single failure or typographical errors. TOP! This justifies the slightly higher price absolutely. However, one should point out that LTHS are not intended primarily for movies or Standalaone player. Like other recessions suggest some devices seem there have massive problems to these blanks. With PC drives - both internally and externally - I still none saw that not describe or read the parts can.
