RiDATA 8.5GB 2.4X DVD+R DL White Inkjet Printable 25 Packs Spindle Dual Layer Disc Model DRD+85-RDIW-CB25

Pros: I bought 100 of these and have had no quality control problems-If you research layer breaks you will see ALOT of commercial DVD players have an issue. The burn/image process is CRITICAL. Slysoft CloneDVD is the most idiot proof method.DVD Decryptor(ISO mode usually preserves it) and Nero mangle the layer break and alot of players lose tracking at this point.

Cons: If you want to be more technical use ImgBurn with PGCEdit (google these for instructions) You can then MANUALLY set your layer break. I am using a new LG LDA-511 with HDMI and Upconvert for 720 and 1080 HDTV output from DVDs. It works flawlessly.

Overall Review: I had a Toshiba before and I THOUGHT I was making coasters, but it was the player that just didn't like back-ups. I have a standard Pioneer as well that works fine. Some NEW discs have layer 1 SMALLER than layer 2-effective copy protection since WINDOWS see this as big error and moves the break.

Pros: None

Cons: Only made coasters with this media. I bought 2 pks b/c it seemed like a great deal at the time. Both of them were faulty. I thought the only difference between these and the regular DVD+R DLs was the inkjet printable compatibility b/c with the regular RiData DVD+R DLs, I got no coasters. Used an NEC ND-3540A (Mad Dog). When playback gets to the 2nd layer, both my computer's video player and three different set-top players froze.

Overall Review: Go with the regular DLs, not the inkjets.
