Amazon.com Product Description:
This spindle of 50 AmazonBasics 8X DVD+R Double Layer disks provides a natural storage solution for video files and other high-capacity data. Each disk offers a capacity of 8.5 GB--enough space to store four hours of DVD quality video. These DVD+R Double Layer disks support fast write speeds from 2.4X to 8X and provide a recording time of up to 240 minutes.
Basic Advice for Writing or "Burning" CDs and DVDs (Including Dual Layer and Double Layer Discs)
1. Check your drive/burner's documentation to confirm speed capabilities and the type of media that is suitable. If you are burning Dual Layer/Double Layer discs your drive/burner must be capable of using this media.
2. Make sure your drive/burner's Firmware and your drive/burner's software has been updated to the latest Version Number in order to reliably use the latest and fastest media possible with your drive/burner (check your drive/burner documentation on upgrading your firmware and software).
3. Set your burning software rate to an "Automatic" setting for burning speed, if possible. If such a setting does not exist, then set the burn speed to half or less of the drive/burner's rated maximum speed, or half of the blank disc's rated speed, whichever is lower.
4. The disc's rated speed (as printed on the disc and package) is a maximum speed. When the burn process is set to "Automatic" the disc speed will actually fluctuate up and down as needed based on the type of information being burned and only occasionally reach the maximum burning speed. This is why if an "Automatic" burn rate setting is not available we recommend setting the disc to burn at half of the rated maximum (as stated in item #3 above).
Please refer to the compatibility chart for details on what kind of drives will work with this product.

| |  | | DVD+R Double Layer Disks: Double the Storage
DVD+R Double Layer is a rewriteable disc format with a storage lifetime that's intended for storing videos and archiving important business or personal data. DVD+R Double Layer disks offer a storage capacity of 8.5 GB. Because the disks can hold nearly twice as much data, they are a low-cost, space-saving storage choice that can be used for a wide range of applications.
Each AmazonBasics DVD+R Double Layer disk can record up to four hours of DVD quality video programming, so you don't have to split up long programs onto several disks. A single DVD+R Double Layer can also hold six hours of VHS-quality video or more than 120 hours of MP3 audio.
DVD+R Compatibility
There are two types of recordable DVD disks available. Almost all recent DVD players and drives can handle both burned DVD-R and DVD+R disks, but some older players can only read one format or the other. It is important to check your player's manual to determine which DVD type it supports.
8X Write Speed and Organic Dye: Built for Fast, Accurate Writing
AmazonBasics DVD+R Double Layer disks enable fast write speeds from 2.4X to 8X (8X is maximum. Burning speed will fluctuate.) for quick, clean data transfer. (To take full advantage of these speeds, your DVD burner must burn at speeds of at least 8X. Consult your computer or DVD burner product manual for this information.)
At 8X, transfer speed translates up to 11.08 MB/s, which means that you can burn a full disk in less than 14 minutes. The organic dye used on the write side of these DVD+Rs ensures stable writing at high speeds for reliable, accurate finished disks.

well, it was a huge dissapointment to me when I first used it. there are like around 10 dvd failing totally. but I think it was my fault since I run a lot of programs when I was burning a dvd. So now every time I burn a dvd, I exit all the programs. It turns out to be really good. I think the best speed for these is 4x. now they raised the price. last time I bought it for like 28$ or so. compared to verbatim its a good deal. of course its not as good as verbatim. If you want guaranteed burning, go ... Read More

Up until my last order, these DL discs were unmatched in quality and price for my NEC and Samsung DL drives. However, upon inspection, Amazon seems to have changed the manufacturer on their house branded discs. Neither of my 3 drives(all have current firmware updates) recognizes the new discs. I'm sure they are compatible with other DL drives, but just not my NEC's or Samsung. I wish Amazon would return to their prior manufacturer, since the last generation of their blank media was superb!

One in every five discs I burnt I found errors that could not complete burning. My system is a ultra fast system with no bus speed problems or any DVD recorder problems. Other brands have worked just fine. But with this brand it was not the case.

Don't buy this product! Out of a pack of 50, I was able to burn to 5 of the discs. The other 45 were bad media (tested on 2 machines) and could not be written to. Very frustrating experience.

I've noticed that there seems to be either a very high reported success rate or a very low success rate with these discs among the reviewers here. For what it's worth, I have burned thousands and thousands of optical discs over the years and I have never come across an entire 50-pack spindle of discs of any type, DVD+/-R or CD-R, that predominantly failed to burn-- a claim that many of the reviewers here are making. If your results are that abysmal, I would strongly recommend switching burners, burn ... Read More
