I know that these aren't top quality media, but which of these is better? Or are they both about the same?
I'm thinking about giving one of these discount DVD media brands a try, but I was wondering which was the better of the two?

Verbatim is probably one of the two to three best brands out there, in fact in my experience it is the best out. Imation was a very good brand back in the CD-R days, but now it is very low quality. Verbatim is fairly inexpensive, but don't let that fool you, it is a high quality brand.

I have never had a problem with Verbatim or Sony discs. It has been years since I used Imation, but don't remember having a problem during that time. Had horrible results with Memorex. Personally, don't consider Verbatim a discount DVD brand. Everything I read about disc brands instructs me to stay away from "value discs." Very disconcerting to have a bad disc when none of them are really cheap. I will say something about Verbatim: They are the only company that answered an email I sent when I was researching Dual-Layer discs and burners. I, therefore, have a great fondness for that company.

I bought two 50packs of Verbatim DVD-R certified 16x. Out of the entire first cake box, maybe 5 burned at 16x without a coaster. The only way I could be assured of not getting a coaster was to burn at 4x and no faster. I also have some Verbatim DVD-RW which burn fine at 2x which is what they are rated at.
I will be looking at another brand next time. My burner is an Asus DRW-1608P2S rated for 16x. I got the same results even after updating the firmware. I got the same results irregardless of which program I use to burn with.
Just my experience. I haven't tried Imation DVD-/+R although I have some of the -RW which work well.
