A Verbatim® DVD-R is extremely useful for saving and transferring video files from a computer or DVD recorder. These blank disks store video data for playing and archiving purposes, while Verbatim CD-R disks record music. Along with different technical characteristics, DVD-R styles include unique physical appearance options for a customized media library.
Features of a Verbatim DVD-R
A DVD-R is a blank disk designed to store digital video data for playback by a DVD player. The most common type of Verbatim DVD-R has 4.7GB of space that holds up to 120 minutes of standard video. Most DVD-R models are write-compatible with standard computer media drives and many video recording machines. Verbatim disks are durable and designed to support long-term storage and use.
The write speed of a disk varies between 2X and 16X and is based on a multiplication of the original DVD writing speed of 11MB/sec. The actual data writing speed may vary depending on the capabilities of the disk burning equipment and software.
How to Choose the Right Verbatim DVD-R
Verbatim DVD-R disks come in several styles that look physically different. Some have the traditional shiny silver surface whereas others are white for easy labeling. Styles with a glossy white surface support inkjet printer labeling. You can also find disks with a traditional movie reel design that is ideal for archiving home videos.
Different types of recordable media disks have unique properties. The DVD-R format supports a single writing or recording function whereas disks with the DVD+RW designation support multiple writing, erasing, and rewriting operations. There is also a DVD+R DL (dual layer) format that doubles the storage space on a single-sided disk by recording on two separate layers. If you are planning to record and save a video for long-term storage, a DVD-R or DVD+R format is the safest choice since it prevents accidentally recording over the data. Verbatim offers Archival Grade disks that include a thin gold coating for increased protection against corrosion. These disks are still compatible with standard DVD players.
What Is the Difference Between a Verbatim DVD-R and a DVD+R?
The "+R" and "-R" designations refer to the method for determining the correct location of the laser on the disk. Choose the type of disk that matches the designation on your DVD drive. DVD-R drives are more common than DVD+R drives, but be sure to check the specifications of your DVD hardware to ensure you choose the correct discs.
Are Verbatim DVD-R Disks Available in Bulk Packages?
You can buy DVD-R disks individually, but bulk packaging is more common. Most packages have between 10 and 100 disks.
Should a Verbatim DVD-R Be Used to Save and Record Music?
The DVD-R format is specifically designed to store video data. If you want to burn a disk with music, it's better to choose a Verbatim CD-R. As with DVD formats, a Verbatim CD-R supports a single recording and a CD-RW allows rewriting. These disks work well for storing digital audio files as well as pictures and documents.
