Verbatims giving errors toward end of dvd

[gregmcc]

I'm having some problems with Verbatims 4x -R (The MCC ones)

I've tried Nero and RecordNow (latest versions) on my NEC-1300A (with latest firmware) and on reading back my dvd it give errors about 98% of the way. If I keep the image to < 4GB all seems ok.


Are the errors due to bad media? If its due to bad media, is there something I can run on the blank media to check it before I burn it. Seems a bit of a waste burning it to find out of its bad.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Try using a dvd rewriteable disc first. If it burns and plays fine then it could be the Verbatim's disc. Check Herrie's site for some tips.

Good luck!

Seems these days Verbatim is working overtime to destroy their brand name.

I've tried rewritables - works fine. On the verbatims about 3 out of every 10 burn with no problems.

Thanks - I live at the herrie site

My feeling is that its the verbatims....and I thought it was a decent brand

I've had the same problems with the same media. Verbatim isn't what it use to be. I'm much happier with my Riteks.
