I'm not the first, and i won't be the last to say this: Don't burn these at 8x. Burn them at 2.4x or less, and you'll be happy enough. Out of 15, 11 succeeded for me. 3 had I/O errors, 1 unreadable disk. You WILL get errors, but you'll get them with the Verbatim disks too. As long as you burn these slowly, you should be satisfied.

Working with three different burning programs, one of which is the current Nero Burning Rom (9.4.13.2), on a brand new Sony Dual Layer DVD-Burner (purchased at CompUSA) as well as a rather reliable NEC burner (Both with entirely current firmware), with every resident process killed, My internet disabled and using disks from two different stacks from two different manufactures... (I didn't choose to get Memorex again. I merely had no choice when trying to exchange the media at a local CompUSA as the store only carried Memorex DL's and they would not refund the money. Their return policy is not to refund money on opened blank media, even though to see if the media is defective, you have to open it.) ...the ratio was 2 to 3 coasters created for every successful burn. Losing the possibility of my system being the problem, it must be the media itself. Do not buy these unless you're looking for a way to make expensive yet pretty Coasters. And if you must, do not buy it from CompUSA.

Don't buy these! The 'coaster' rate is > 50%. The discs usually fail at around 40% into the burn (I was burning a 7GB data file). If you end-up stuck with these, try burning at 2.4x. I will never buy Memorex again! With the high failure rate and time wasted, these disks cost way more than any other brand. These disks are not even made by Memorex. Nero identifies these disks as manufactured by Ritek. "Is it live or is it Memorex?" It's Ritek! "TS-H653B, Media type: DVD+R9 Double Layer
