Hopefully two quick questions:
Thanks!

- I saw a post recently where Webslinger said that the DVD-R DL has a fixed/restricted layer break position and is therefore useless.
Is there any problem with the Verbatim DVD-R discs (Not DL)? I ask because though I usually use only Verbatim Datalife Plus DVD+R, I mistakenly purchased a stack of 50 DVD-R from Newegg -- I should have known better but I must not have been paying as much attention as I should.
BTW, I use Verbatim Datalife DVD+R DL and CloneCD for backing up my movies; the non DL discs are for mostly just for data/program backups on my computer.
- At Newegg there have been a lot of bad reviews lately on the Verbatim DVD blank media product pages because there seems to be a rash of either bad media or people who don't know how to burn properly. But the primary cause stated by the reviewers is that they are receiving Verbatim media that was manufactured in Japan instead of Singapore, and they claim it is failing often.
I know that the Verbatim Datalife Plus DVD+R DL media that I use and that is often recommended here is made in Singapore. All that I have purchased say Made in Singapore. Has anyone here heard or read anything about Verbatim media manufacturing moving from Singapore to Japan, or about a recent high failure rate with them?
Fortunately I still have some of the Singapore media so I haven't purchased any recently.
Thanks!
