DVD+R Double Layer Discs store up to 8.5GB of data files and approximately 240 minutes of video (SP mode) on a single disc. Write speed ranges from 2.4X to 8X. DVD+R double-layer discs can be played back on most DVD players and offer the convenience of storing long-length programming.
Pros: cheap price - a logo that is not that intrusive - i use a black scriptie perm pen to do all my labeling. they are rigid and solid. they make ZERO wobble noise - a sign of good balancing.
Cons: Burns @ full speed resulting in a 1-3 out of 10 failure.
Overall Review: I have bought 3 packs of these and 2 packs of the 50 pack's when newegg used to sell them for $28. The burning software I use is either CDBurnerXP (freeware) or UltraISO's built in burn engine. I use a Sony Optiarc 24x DL burner - and EVERY SINGLE TIME i use auto detect speed vs. choosing the speed, i get a 1-3 out of 10 bad burn. It is a dice roll. BUT if I simply select one speed range slower on a manual speed select, I get 100% success burn rate. I don't mind (for the price) that I have to burn @ a slower speed if it ensures a 100% burn, I have my data backed up. But if you are burning @ x6 speed and it is a game with 2 or 3 8GB disks, then installation of your favorite game will be a short while (pun) before you get to play it!!! But everyone should know by now that a slower burn is a better copy. Matter of fact you can't even burn a successful burn with a certain operating system disk unLESS it is burned @ x1 to x4 speed!!! and is STILL recommended to burn @ x1 speed.
