Okay I messed up. I had a previous bundle of this batch and had no problem. This latest batch seemed to have a problem with writing to the second layer. In other words it would not write to the second layer with out allot of errors. 30 dollars worth of coasters. I went out and bought verbatim DL 2.4x and so far with that bunch it has been perfect since disc one.

I have not been having any problems with this media. Just my computer slowing down trying to multi-task as usual. The DVD Writer of mine is not in the list. It is the default one that came with my HP computer. HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH40L 1.04. The computer is an HP m9650f. You can look up the specs of the computer at the HP web site. So far verification in image burn is the slowest. Works fine on LG BD390 |

Entire pack of 15 resulted in coasters. I have been using Memorex DL DVD's FOREVER with no problems, not one single coaster (that was not MY error). This entire pack of 15 burn then are unreadable, showing up as CD's or 'no media loaded'. Tried burning at all different speads (2.4, 4, 8) nothing works. Verbatim works fine with same drive (Sony AD-7200S) and source ISO files/burning program.

This is terrible at burning data at the LOWEST SPEED, 2X! Out of 4 burns, I got 3 Verification errors, sectors didn't match. Twice on the Mac OS 10.5 Installer 7.5GB disc, once on 5GB of Quicktime video files! The installer discs would not even mount, the video files disc takes forever to load. I'd be better off burning two single layer DVD's! This is really surprising to me, because I've had NO PROBLEMS with the 3 pack of Memorex DL+R's at Walmart. I guess I need to ID that disc code, because these sure aren't those! Avoid at all costs!

First I'm going to say this...
My Pioneer HAS the media code RITEK S04 and can burn at speeds of 1x, 2x, 2.4x, 6x, 8x. Some reason, it wouldn't even burn at 1x. The dvds I have are RITEK S04_066. AVOID THESE DVDS. I read that the Taiwan version are RITEK S04 and the India ones were Riohjpn D01 or whatever.
They really don't work well. My dvd player is old and I've managed to play almost every type of media on there but these don't even read. Very upsetting. I was willing to even buy a new dvd player. I bought 4 spindles for $40. I want to get rid of these.
I tried burning with my NEC ND-6650A burner: firmware 1.0N or whatever. I did manage to get 2 burns 100% and ruined 3 at 50%. One on each my Pioneer DVR-111D and NEC ND-6650A, andthe other three failed on my NEC. I don't know why my NEC burner even burned it at all, the firmware isn't even on the list of compatible media.

bought a package of 25....first disc burned on a LG GSA-2164D at 4x (seemingly only speed that it burns at on the writer) burned well. I tried burning two more discs (same writer/speed), and both writes failed at exactly 50% (with different errors, though), making me think that it failed at the layer change. I ended up taking this media back to where I purchased it for a refund.
Soon I found a good deal on a 15-pack ($12.99 US at Office Depot), so I decided I'd give it another shot. Same media code/etc. This time I decided to try it on my MacBook's Matshita UJ-857E writer. First time I decided to try it at 4x; the write completed but data verification failed. Since then, however, I've been able to successfully burn 4 discs at 2x on the MacBook. I ran Nero CD Speed and it seemed to be totally fine (with no "problem" areas); I might be able to get PI/PO counts sometime, but I don't have my PC with Lite-On drive available at the moment.
I'm thinking that the issue (especially with the somewhat older LG drive) is that the drives I've used may not have firmware that "knows" how to write these particular discs well, and not necessarily the discs themselves.

BEWARE! Not all Memorex 8X media is RITEK S04 some are RicohJPN D01 even though they have the same packaging and UPC codes. The spindles I bought that were made in Taiwan were all RITEK S04. The ones made in India were all RicohJPN D01. Please see my post for Memorex RicohJPN D01 if you want to compare write quality.
These Memorex Ritek S04 discs made in Taiwan did not work with my older Pioneer DVR-111D (Firmware 1.29). Tried 5 discs, all 5 burns received error writing to media.
100% success rate (10/10 successful burns) with my other two burners: Samsung TSSTcorp SH-S182D (firmware SB06) and Sony DRU-190a (firmware 1.65). Both of these burners defaulted to 4x write speed when I tried to set the write speed to only 2.4x. Write Quality was better with Sony DRU-190a. Verbatim is still the best dual layer media to use but they cost almost twice as much. Please see disc quality scores below.

I got 6 good copies from Premier, tried all of Adobes tech support tips, tried other projects, same results. Tried copying the good disks, only burned the first layer. Didn't realize that I only got one layer burned (3 different computers and 4 different burners and 2 different Nero versions) until I handed out some disks and was reported that half the project wouldn't play. Some disks Windows said were 'blank' even though they were burned. Some disks couldn't be read. Never would have spent $105 on these disks (total of 75)! Works fine on Philips DVD750VR |

Purple Package. Burned great at 4X. Only 2 discs so far but both work 100% on my very old Pioneer DV-C503 DVD player & PS2.
Will only burn at 4X,6X,8X with my burner. I think it's the burners settings.

Variable results for my writer/player combination. Mixed results burning and playing back on same writer, but poor results on player. Would freeze, break up. Some burn results would not even start on my player. Fails to burn at 2.4x with "power calibration error" but other 2.4x media burns fine.

Update:
It infact DOES play on the LITE-ON DVDRW LH-16W1P burner. The OS I tried it on first is old and corrupted, after a reboot to the backup OS I had no problem recognising the media and viewing the 8.5GB file.
Also, Im now quite certain it does not play on my Phillips DVP642 Divx dvd player.

First disc failed. After a restart the second & third burnt in under 39 minutes (each) on my [b]PIONEER DVD+-RW DR-K17Y[/b] (a laptop burner) at 4x. I was easily able to replay the disc afterwards on the same drive, not the case with my [b]LITE-ON DVDRW LH-16W1P[/b] (desktop burner), a drive supposedly cabale of handling DL discs. Perhaps it can only play 2.4x media. Or perhaps this is because I used the UDF file structure.
Either way I am not done testing this media, more info on the way later...
