It needs to be said -- this is terrible media. Stick with Verbatim, available for $1.20/each at Sam's Club. In the end, that media will cost less, given the number of Memorex coasters you'll have.

And Ben, dont you read forums (fora?) online? The correct spelling is obviously 'Duel Layer' given its prevalence on the web.

#2 you should not waste any more money on your English major.

#1 is 100% correct. Verbatim is what you want to buy. This media is garbage. Literally 3 of 5 of the DVDs I burn turn out to be coasters. NEVER once has that happened with Verbatim.
Just one user's experience to consider before you buy.

I just finished burning a pack of 50 Memorex DL and at the end of the batch I lost 12. I nursed these all the way - slowest speed, nothing else running while burning, cut out overclocking, regulated power going into the computer and much more. Disappointing, but from what I have read in various forums better than most users have achieved. Amazon sell them for $32.99 for 50 so it may be worth paying a little more so you can return them if you have a bad/suspect batch.

memorex DL for $30 is a good deal. I've bought these in the past for slightly more from buy.
