FAQs
What is the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?
DVD-R and DVD+R are both write-once formats, but they use slightly different technologies. Most modern drives and players are compatible with both formats, but checking your equipment's specifications is always recommended.
Can I rewrite data on this DVD-R?
No, DVD-R discs are a write-once medium. Once data is burned onto the disc, it cannot be erased or rewritten.
What kind of printer can I use for the printable surface?
You can use inkjet or thermal disc printers that are specifically designed for printing on CD/DVD surfaces. Ensure the printer supports the specific printable media type.
How long will data last on this DVD-R?
Under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry, dark place), data on a quality DVD-R like Verbatim's can last for decades, but actual longevity can vary.
What does 16x write speed mean?
16x represents the maximum speed at which the disc can be written. The actual speed depends on your DVD burner's capabilities and the data being written. Higher 'x' numbers generally mean faster burning times.
Is the jewel case included with each disc?
Yes, this product is a 10-pack, and each disc comes individually housed in its own protective jewel case.
Troubleshooting
Disc not recognized by the drive
Ensure the disc is inserted correctly, label-side up. Try cleaning the disc surface gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Test with another disc to rule out a drive issue.
Burning errors or failed writes
Close other applications to free up system resources. Ensure the burning software is up-to-date. Clean the drive lens. Lower the write speed in the software settings if the drive struggles with 16x.
Poor playback quality or unreadable data
Verify the disc was burned correctly and finalized by the burning software. Check for physical damage to the disc. Test playback on a different, known-good DVD player.
Print quality is poor or smudged
Ensure your printer is compatible with printable DVDs and that you are using the correct print settings. Allow adequate drying time for the ink before handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required for the discs themselves. Insert the DVD-R into a compatible DVD burner drive in your computer or external burner. Ensure your burning software recognizes the disc as a writable medium.
Compatibility: These DVD-R discs are compatible with most DVD-R drives and players. However, always ensure your specific drive supports the 16x write speed for optimal performance. For playback, most standard DVD players will read recorded data, but compatibility with older or specialized players can vary.
Care: To ensure longevity and data integrity:
- Handle discs by the edges or the center hole only to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the data side.
- Store discs in their jewel cases when not in use.
- Keep discs away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- Avoid writing on the disc surface with pens; use a compatible marker or the printable surface with a printer.
