More expensive than most, but better physical quality. I've not used their DVDs because I have no need for DVDs, but their CDs are excellent for music and appear to be better machined around the edges than the machined crap churned out by most everybody these days.

+1, used loads of those in my time  And I agree on Oke's machined point, you can actually feel the difference just handling some discs  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Yes, but easier than typing “DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL”.

Arise thread!
Burnt 8 DL discs from the Verbatim cake tonight.
Not a bad one so far. This pleases me.
