Product Description: Now available in faster 8X write speed, Memorex DVD+R Double Layer media stores up to 8.5GB of data files and approximately 240 minutes of video (SP mode) on a single disc as compared to 4.7GB on a single layer disc. DL discs can be played back on most DVD players and offer users the convenience of storing long length programming, sporting events and video footage on one disc.
Not working as well as Verbatum These Memorex DVD+R DL discs have not worked as well for me as Verbatum brand. I've burnt 5 Memorex so far, which have produced 2 that did not verify correctly and the other 3 are problematic when playing on an inexpensive DVD player connected to a TV (the other higher quality DVD player I have succeeds in playing these 3 discs though). On the same computer, I have burnt 3 DVD+R DL Verbatum brand discs, which all verified correctly and would play without problem on my cheap DVD player...
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! I've used about 600 or so of these discs with no problems what so ever.... I use a Pioneer drive and they burn beautifully.... I buy because of the price and verbatim is by far the best quality but way to expensive for me....
Inconsistent Results Previous to buying, I read through some of the reviews saying that people were having many failed burns with the DVDs. Regardless to people saying that they were having patchy results, the low price ultimately made my decision to give the product a try. The first 50pk of Memorex Dual Layer DVDs that I purchased were flawless. I didn't have one bad burn, subsequently leading me to believe that the people experiencing trouble with the DVDs must not have been using a good burning software, or they didn't know what they were doing. So, after using the first 50pk I didn't hesitate to purchase another 50 because the price was great. Well I think the cheap DVDR DL luck ran out because my second 50pk of the DVDs has been horrible! I have literally gone through the entire 50pk and haven't got one successful burn. My computer knowledge and burning knowledge is of expert level, so I know it's nothing on my part. I also use Nero 8.1.1.0, so the software is ok. Basically it comes down to rolling the dice, literally your $, and hoping you get a good batch. If you decide to purchase these, I hope your luck was better than mine!! :D
Bought and delivered I purchased this product and received it in excellent condition and it was shipped very quickly to me. Based on this experience I'd buy again.
Burning tons of coasters These discs are burning too many coasters... Might be another problem, but other people have been having the same dilemma. Steer clear of these puppies..
