MID: Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.

The Manufacturer string returned by ImgBurn for these discs is Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. That means that Mitsubishi made these and not CMC. Mitsubishi is one of the best manufacturers of optical media out there; CMC is one of the worst. If you buy any non DataLifePlus CD-R's from Verbatim, they're made by CMC. So any Verbatim CD-R's bought from a brick and mortar store will be CMC. You should always avoid the non DataLifePlus CD-R's and DVD recordable discs. Any Life series DVD-R's will be CMC. CMC DVD recordable discs fail to burn about 50% of the time. Those 50% that do burn are usually not recognizable as playable discs by DVD players that are capable of reading that particular type of recordable DVD. CMC used to make a passable DVD+R but their quality declined in recent years. CMC is too unreliable so they cannot be trusted for quality. I burned 2 of these in my Pioneer Blu-Ray burner and they burned and verified fine. My PS3 also had no problem playing these CD's back. I cannot review the quality of the inkjet printable surface as I have no such printer to use with them. I get these discs, though, for the future, in case I ever get one. Plus, one can write on the surface with a CD safe marker to also label them.

Verbatim AZO Discs: Great for Audio CD's

I've ordered two kinds of these discs, the total Silver Inkjet printable and the Silver with the regular hub. Both have worked great for me. I only use these to burn Audio discs to play in CD players, and they have worked fine with my home stereo CD player (an old 2004 Sony), my Sony Blu-ray and my car (2014 Honda). I don't actually print on them with an inkjet printer, I just write and color them with Sharpies. They take Sharpie ink very well, and will work with probably any permanent marker really. I prefer the "Naked" surface of the silver discs, without all the branding. I have used almost 100 of them over the course of two years, and rarely had a disc not work. The only time I had an issue with discs not working was when I first got them, I tried to burn the discs at different speeds with the CD-burner. These discs work best when I just set the CD burner software to burn it at "Maximum Possible" speed. Whenever i set it to burn at a set rate or to burn slower, the discs would usually be messed up, with glitches on playback. Once I figured out that slow or set speed burns didn’t work very well, I’ve never had problem with discs not working (and just letting the burner do it’s thing automatically with “Max/variable speed”) I use a 2012 Macbook Pro with a Superdrive and a cheap external LG DVD burner. I think they are both 24X speed. Software I’ve used has been iTunes, XLD app, or Roxio Toast Titanium. The discs I burned previously have played fine months or a year later. So if you have issues with the discs not working right for Audio, check your burner settings and set it to " Maximum", “Best” or "Variable" speed. I think some discs and burners are just meant to work at variable speed. Also, if recording Audio, be sure to select "include CD-Text" so when playing it in the car, the track info will show up on the CD player. Anyway, I just re-ordered the SIlver Hub Printable ones because I like the full silver look and I'm starting to run low. These are very good value discs and the AZO coating is supposedly better to use than others. Recommended!

SILVER SHIMMER! 3D EFFECT! ATTENTION GETTER! PROFESSIONAL LOOK!

If you are making cds of home studio recordings, DataLifePlus is the way to go. "Opens up" the sound on playback of your recordings. Crystal clear! Archives your recordings, etc. The silver printable cd-r add a shimmer and professional 3d look to your cds. Hub printable or not is up to your taste. Have burned some "regular Vebatim cd-rs and they sounded "good" but the Verbatim datalifeplus seems to bring the sound to life. May be my imagination but if so, I still think they're the best sound. White or silver, they have the best sound. Try a pack of each and decide what "look" you're going for.

burning fine w/ my plextor.. **read till end

so here goes. i have burned 4 discs so far and every one come out w/ no problems. but i am using a desktop plextor drive. i think that may have a lot to do w/ a lot of peoples problems is they use garbage laptop burners. found that out after burning off of laptops and i even bought my mom a USB dvd burner, and it was a pioneer!, but that thing didn't spit out anything but coasters. same discs same media on my desktop drive (and i was using an ASUS drive at the time not the plextor i have now) and they burned fine. i think it has a lot to do w/ the burner as well as the media. *** bonus tip. i held the discs i got up under a light to try and read the matrix numbers and the serial number ends w/ "azo" so i'm pretty sure these are good discs. like i said no probs so far for me! :) peace, out.

Quality as good as Sony, Smartbuy, Maxell. Have used this brand for many years.

Some of the BEST blank media you can buy. As good as Sony, Smartbuy, Maxell, etc. Once in a while a bad batch will occur in manufacturing process. Verbatim has a Great Guarantee and will immediately replace a bad lot or batch. There website is included online or on the packaging.

Holds printing well and remains one of the most durable CD-R's I've used.

It's fun to create a label for your CD. It's also great to see it printed onto the disc itself with the white matte finish providing the perfect canvas for any of your printing as the ink set on the matte surface is thorough. However, I wish that the entire hub ring area was also printable as the ink takes a while to dry on the exposed plastic. So, please be careful when stacking a freshly printed disc to avoid smudging. Regardless, great quality, durability and reliability all for an attractive price point makes this product a very worthwhile choice.

The only brand my indash changer will eject whthout dissembly.

I have a 2001 Mustang GT, which has the factory MACK 460 sound system in it. The in-dash unit has a six disk player/changer. I have never had any problems with factory published Cd's, However if I wish to reneder my own best collection, your product is the only one that will eject from this player without issue. Burn, play, and printability quality is great. I will put no other brand in this car.

Verbatim Makes Some Quality Discs!

I ordered a spindle of these for the sole purpose of burning homebrew content and game backups for our first generation Sega Dreamcast. So far we haven't had a single issue compared to the other spindles we had lying around where it felt as if it were a fifty-fifty chance for a successful burn. Also, the matte white surface is great for doodling cover art on! Would buy again!

That the product does what it is supposed to do. Nell

I liked to have something that did what I bought it to. I use these tapes to make reproductions of our cd, with our singing group, with our songs that God gave us. We have the original tape in the computer, and also have some sitting around, but I like to use the tapes I bought to make copies of our singing, and put different labels on them. Thanks Amazon for always being there for me. you make my life so much better. Nell

Works well

I got to say my last printable Kodak CD blanks also worked well. Until they didn't. Strangest thing. The Kodak ones just degraded over time (maybe 4 years) and were useless. No idea if the same will happen here. But the lesson learned was don't buy 100 quantity unless you are burning lots of CDs.
