Verbatim are very strange! Despite everyone on the forum raving about how good they are have tried several times with them and found them hopeless. Very jumpy / skippy if they work at all.

Try using Gitek g04 4X or Traxdata 4X. The later riteks do seem to be a bit unstable but if you can get hold of earlier 4X ones they are excellent.

As for why so many people have sucess with Verbatim....I don't know. Perhaps they use several different dyes and we have the wrong ones.

Regards

Verbatim DataLife use CMC Dye and are very jumpy and sketchy indeed. The DataLife PLUS discs are using an 8X MCC dye - which is the dogs bollox

I agree DataLife suck, but IMHO I have to disagree about the DataLife PLUS sucking.

I like the Data life PLUS cd-r's but get mixed results with the dvd-r. Smaller games work ok but the larger ones skip, jump and sometimes freeze.
