Summary: Great for parties--as drink coasters
Comment: 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....

Summary: 0% Success
Comment: If you are looking to burn/copy movies, I would strongly advise against getting these discs. I have yet to burn a working copy of any of my movies. Sony or Phillips are a nice alternative. They're a bit more pricey but have worked every time for me.

Summary: Not working as well as Verbatum
Comment: 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...

Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: 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....
