If you're reading this then you're probably someone that hasn't been clued in just yet as to how bad all the 'cheap' double layer discs are.
We see far too many people having problems with RITEK, CMC, RICOH media etc and I can assure you that it isn't just fluke when we suggest the user give Verbatims a try and their issues magically disappear!
You get what you pay for in this world and whilst Verbatims might cost you a couple of quid more to start with, you'll be saving in the long run because you won't end up with a stack of coasters!
Verbatim DVD+R DL discs are the way forward!
They are currently available in two varietys...
Dye: MKM-001-00, Write Speed: 2.4x (often 'overspeed' to 4x, 6x or 8x in modern writers)
Dye: MKM-003-00, Write Speed: 8x
The 8x ones are newer and some older drives don't really have the firmware tweaks required to burn them. For that reason we recommend you stick to the 2.4x ones where possible as these have been around since the beginning of time!
So, I bet you're thinking 'Hmmm... where can I get me some of those?' - I'll tell you:
