Already done for DL duties, Verbatim DL from Singapore via SVP.

NP here ya go........I only bought them last month and so far have only burn't 2 good DL's (when I say good they verified OK) DVDinfopro shows them as pretty poor when scanned. I even purchased a new Pioneer DVD drive to try to get them to work as DL media, no joy. Not read anything about long term stability issues with them, only DL burning issues and drive compatibility.

Thanks team, wrote an image to an Aone DL this morning in single sided mode. Scanned with DVDinfoPro and rated as 99.15%. Thats higher than my usual TDK disks which avg around 98%. At least now they now won't go to waste.

Thanks for the prompt answers. Great program BTW.

I have 20 or so Aone DL disks, my Lite-on and Pioneer drives won't burn them as DL media (Verbs on order). I tried burning 4.6 Gb to one and it wrote it across both layers (failed at 50% as usual). Is it possible to use these disks as single layer disks? If so how? DVDdriveinfo shows first layer burns have good rating around 98%. I was hoping to use them as single layers rather than throw them away.
