Tell me. I got at most 10 erasures from Verbatim 4x DVD+RWs. Others
have gotten even fewer. And that's with 2.4x burns.
Fortunately they have gotten relatively cheap, I can get Verbatim 4x
at rima.com for around 75 cents in 100 lot. If I manage to get 10
burns, that's 7.5 cents per burn, which is a lot cheaper than DVD-R
which is 28 cents per burn (Taiyo Yuden 8x at rima.com).
