Introduction
In a review update from our original review we can bring our readers test results from more writers thanks to Verbatim-Europe who have very kindly supplied us with some more of their 2.4x rated Double Layer media.
We thank Verbatim-Europe for their on going support of our reviews - Its most appreciated by us and our readers.
"The new 2.4x DVD+R media expands the data storage capacity from 4.7GB to a massive 8.5GB on a single side. This means that consumers will be able to record up to four hours of DVD-quality. Of utmost importance is the fact that compatibility is maintained with existing DVD video players and DVD ROM drives."
"Verbatim is an active member of the DVD+RW Alliance and this development clearly illustrates its desire and ability to work closely with hardware manufacturers."

Here are some advantages of using Double Layer Media:
Double Layer media offers genuine advantage over the current single layer 4.7GB DVD. The Verbatim 8.5GB Double Layer recordable DVD+R D/L disc allows users to read, write or view almost twice the amount of data that is currently possible with the single layer and the advanced technology means that material can be read or recorded on one layer
without affecting the other.
No need to flip sides or change discs, this new media from Verbatim means real convenience as well as fast, reliable storage with a wide range of playback options.
Our review media arrived shrink wrapped in a pack of 5, each with its own single jewel
case own ensuring no damage could be done to the discs. The top writing surface of the disc is a frosted silver effect embellished with the Verbatim logo in silver.
The recording surface is a dark purple and carries the MKM-001-00 dye code according to
VSO Inspector and should be capable of over speeding up to 4x on our review devices.
