Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 2.4X 20pk Spindle Reviews
The package said made in Singapore. I burned one disk at 2.1x speed just to be safe. It was verified as a perfect copy.
I have used at least two packs of these Verbatim 8.5GB DL discs, burning at 6X speed, and all are fine. I have used at least 100 4.7GB Verbatim DVD+R (plain and Light Scribe) discs, and all are fine.
I tried other brands and they are costers now, Verbatim are the best. I would recommand durning at a slower speed for best results.
I obviously prefer the 8x due to the time difference it takes to burn a disk but you can get the 2.4x cheaper so I tend to buy them. For pure data backups, I use Taiyo Yunden DVD-Rs. I tried dozens of different burning software and nothing worked until going to a SATA drive. But, like I said I haven't had any issues with the 8x and the PS3. Let me start out by saying that I could NEVER burn a Memorex or any brand DL disk when using an IDE DVD burner (tried 3 different brands of burner). My computer would freeze for a moment and then I'd get an error message of some sort.
I finally got a basic level LG SATA drive and all my problems were solved. Single layer was fine. I've yet to have a bad burn or any coasters that were caused by a bad disk. I don't think for long term storage of critical data you would want to use a DL disk due to it being more complex in nature and more likely to have issues or fail as it ages. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing there was some limitations in the IDE bus on my motherboard and it was corrupting the data when it came to DL disks. All the disks work in my PS3 perfectly.
These Memorex work fine for me and I've used both the 8x and 2.4x versions. So if your having trouble burning DL disks try upgrading to a SATA DVD burner. I also believe that a slower burn will give you a better burned DVD that is likely to have less issues when playing back. I don't notice any difference between the quality of burn with the 8x vs the 2.4x.
I've never had that happen with these discs. Yes, they're a little harder to find (you usually can only purchase them online) and they're a little more expensive, but they're the best. Verbatim makes the best DVDs I've ever tried. I've tried other DVDs and found either that I get errors when I burn something to them, or one of my DVD players won't play them.
