are they comparable to my normal Verbatim DVDs

Maybe. In addition to the media code, look at the disc itself, around the center hole, for various hub and stamper codes.
"The way to tell a fake from a real MCC is to study the tiny hub codes and stamper codes on the top and/or bottom of the disc. Look closely at that blank, both top and bottom, possibly tilting it around a bit in the light. You should see anywhere from one to three sets of alphanumeric codes. Markings can be on the hub, around the edge, or around the various rings that move outward. These are usually very tiny, so a magnifying glass may help if your eyesight is poor."

If it's fake, it's not the same -- no.
If it carries the genuine MCC stamper and hub codes, then it is not just comparable -- it's the same disc, but with another brand mark.

Understand that this is a meaningless marketing statement -- often used by cheap companies to overstate the quality of the low-grade and/or fake goods, which may or may not be the case here. It's nothing more than words to dupe buyers, more often than not

Burn rejection alone is only an indicator of serious issues, not a test of the issues themselves. I almost never see fake media that does not exhibit read errors in play/read tests. Or that runs high (or fails) more advanced scanning analysis -- high jitter, for example.

I am using them as backups to my archival Verbatims

Only use fake discs for something that you could afford to lose. A backup of a backup, for example, may qualify.
Post back, and we'll go from there.
