But that does not mean the combination burner/media isn't important. It simply means Verbatim media will have the most chance of forming a good combination. (it is the most "compatible" if you like) Hence why it is suggested so much, because it is easier to take your chance with a media which gives good results with most burners, than actually doing a very time consuming test to see if there is other media which might give better results for your particular burner.
They are the best because they are made so well. When the disc makers create these discs they don't have each burner in mind. They create the discs as best they can with the top quality materials and dyes.
You may use a disc suited for your burner but they may not last long. Crap dyes will soon deteriorate and leave you with a nice little coaster.
Take your chance.
