Digital camera reviews of Memorex 8.5GB 8X Double Layer DVD+R (25pk Spindle)
Digital camera Review: Affordable Price and Quality in One
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm happy with this product, so far none of the discs failed. I only have 2 discs remaining and about to order a new one.Digital camera Review: Another dagger to Memorex's Heart
Summary: 1 Stars
Well I have been using Memorex DVD+R DL disks exclusively now for some time. In fact, they are the ONLY disks that my Memorex Dual Layer burner have ever had in them. The first spindle of 50 that I purchased seemed to work well till I got to the bottom half of the stack. Then it seemed that one out of every three or so would fail. On the next couple of spindles I had much better luck with only an occasional failure. However, this week I have had nothing but trouble with a spindle of 25 I recently purchased from Circuit City. The bottom half of this spindle has had a 50% failure rate. When you factor the high failure rate into the cost of purchase, the "good deal" price of these Memorex media are not such a good deal. And that is even if your time is of no value to you at all. The fact that both of my DVD burners are Memorex devices prevents me from pointing my finger at anything else but the media. Unfortunalely I have two spindles of 25 left. Hope they fair better than this last one.Digital camera Review: Avoid these like the plague!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!
Out of the 25 that came in the pack, the first nine failed to burn. NINE IN A ROW!
Needless to say I didn't wait around to see if the other 16 would suffer the same fate, I promptly returned these to the place of purchase.
Just to make sure that it wasn't the DVD burner on my 3 week old Apple MacBook that was the problem I borrowed a blank SONY DVD+R DL disk from a friend and tried burning the exact same files. Guess what...it worked perfectly. Lesson learned: you get what you pay for.
I will never buy another Memorex product again.
Digital camera Review: Avoid this item!

I read about the bad performance of these discs, but went on and bought it anyways!!. BAD DESICION! 100% of the times, burner gives up when burning the second layer. I've burned several IMATION DL Discs without any inconvenience, though (this means, my burner is ok!). Bottom line, AVOID BUYING THIS ITEM.!!!Digital camera Review: Beyond Awful

I am having terrible trouble with these discs. Of the 12 I have gone through only five have burned "successfully". And of the ones that are successful there exists tremendous problems near the layer transition with the data stored on them. Video files are unreadable, have bad index blocks, or freeze midway through (and these are the successful burns).
Most of the times these discs fail outright. I have tried burning these with my new Samsung DVD+RW drive that is certified for DVD+RW DL @ 12x, however these fail at 8x in image burn, at 8x/4x in Nero in Windows, and even at a very slow 2.4x in CD/DVD creator under Ubuntu. I cannot find any way to make these discs work reliably.
Avoid them at all costs, they may be cheap but definitely aren't worth it.
