Electronics Memorex 8.5GB 8X Double Layer DVD+R (50pk Spindle)
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - Seems like a good deal, but at least 50% didn't work!
I bought these earlier this year to copy DVDs to send to my husband in Iraq. Almost every time I burned a disc, though, I went through at least one, if not more, discs that didn't work. The drive works fine on other discs (i.e., a set of Maxell DVD+RWs, and some Sony CD-Rs), so I have to conclude it was just a bunch of faulty disks. What a bummer.

Rating: - Not a coaster in the bunch
I've burned 25 of these so far and not a coaster in the bunch. Well worth the price.

Rating: - DO NOT BUY...WILL NOT BURN!!!!!!
BOUGHT 50 PACK SPINDLE, TRIED BURNING THEM IN 2 DIFFERENT NAME BRAND DL BURNERS AND THESE DISCS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL! VERY DISSATISFIED! HAVE BURNED ON MEMOREX DISCS IN THE PAST AND VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THESE!

In a nutshell: don't buy these. I got a new 50-pack of these and have yet to have any get past even burning the Lead-in track. I thought I had a catastrophic problem with my computer--what with not being able to burn any of these on three different DVD-DL-capable drives. Then it dawned upon me that I had just gone from a MUCH older pack of Memorex DVD DL's to a new pack of these. After doing some web research, I learned that Memorex DVD-DL's are OEM'ed from different vendors with an apparent lack of quality control. Per suggestions, I bit the bullet and bought some Verbatim DVD DL's--those made in Singapore, NOT from their new outsourced supplier in India--at roughly double the cost. But it was like night and day: every one of the Verbatim's burned and played without problems. Going through the trash last night, I counted that I had tossed nine of these Memorex DVD DL's because they wouldn't burn. That took the sting out of buying the Verbatim's. Just enter--or copy/paste--"Verbatim DVD DL" in the Amazon search box above. That's a lot less aggravating, trust me....
