Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Memorex 2.4x 8.5 GB Double Layer DVD+R Pack (3 Discs)Customer Review: Great Dual Layer DVDs (Just update your firmware first) Summary: 5 Stars
To avoid burning an expensive coaster, update the firmware on your Dual Layer DVD Drive first. If you don't, chances are you'll get an error when your drive tries to finalize the disc. Doesn't matter if your drive is brand new, or a major name brand, update your firmware first ([...]). Also, these won't work in a regular DVD burner. Your burner must be Dual Layer (Double Layer) compatable.
If your home DVD player is not dual layer compatable (and most aren't), you're going to experience problems. There will be a pause when the DVD transitions to the second layer (this is normal). This is where a lot of old technology DVD players get stuck. They can play the first layer but get lost transitioning to the second.
These Discs work fine in all four of my Dual Layer burners (Toshiba from Western Digital, IO-Magic, HP drive in 8000 series laptop and HP Lightscibe drive in a1110n desk top). Out of 21 discs, I've had one coaster, which isn't bad in my book. HP was slow to update their firmware to handle a wider selection of DL discs. The last update (I193 in my case) fixed many problems.
Since these discs do work in many computers, I would highly suggest contacting your manufacturer if they don't work in yours (update your firmware first). The manufacturer can't fix a problem if they don't know about it.
Description of Memorex 2.4x 8.5 GB Double Layer DVD+R Pack (3 Discs)MEMOREX 32025648 8.5 GB DOUBLE LAYER DVD+R (2.4X; 3 PK) Memorex double-layer DVD+R discs burn at two depths on a single side, giving them twice the storage capacity of traditional DVD+R discs.

That's enough for approximately four hours of video playback when recorded in SP mode or up to 12 hours in EP mode, making the discs an ideal choice for long-length programming such as sporting events or epic films. They can also store around 18 hours of CD-quality audio or 800,000-plus office documents, depending on the size of the files.
