Great Product
Been through 3 packs of these, and have never had a single burn fail. All work and play great. Best deal for the price.
Mixed Results
I've had mixed results with Memorex 8.5GB 8X Double Layer DVD+R (50pk Spindle). The first spindle I bought was fantastic, only 2 or 3 bad presses on the spindle. The next one I bought, I must have thrown out 20 discs or more. All of them press issues. A friend of mine had very similar results. Memorex is great, when it is good. You'll just have to average it out over the number you purchase and decide if the fabulously cheap price makes the occasional bad spindles acceptable.
Very reliable on properly maintained systems
I bought the Memorex dual layer discs despite the spate of negative reviews simply because the price of the next cheapest brand was prohibitive. At first I was really upset with the discs.

use as 6x-4x instead of 8x
Good deal, and its quality is good(just low the burn speed to 4x-6x, instead of its marked 8x), can ensure you 100% success rate, :P.
I recommand Memorex 8.5GB 8X Double Layer DVD+R (50pk Spindle) due to its good quality/price.
Worth the money
I recently bought a laptop that has a dual-layer DVD burner and was afraid that the media would be twice as expensive and the regular single layer DVDs. Thankfully, my fears were unfounded and I was able to find them for a great price here on Amazon. I have burned data onto several of them already and I have run into no problems.
