Buy.com has this Memorex DVD+R 8X Double Layer Media 8.5GB (1 x 50 Pack) Spindle for $32 + $0 shipping = $32 shipped. Even if you factor in the double capacity, the price/storage is still more than double that of single layer media. [Compare]

    Why do you keep posting the same crap about the dual layer being more expensive than 2 - single layer combined. Of course it is, but who in the hell is going to eject a disc in the middle of a movie and put in disc #2? Quit the ridiculous posting crap, for Pete's sake. What do you think we are, uneducated technical morons?

    Junk media. I wouldn't even bother with these if they were the same price as single layer DVD+r.

    Good example of how everyone who preferred Blu-gay instead of HD-DVD is making the rest of us pay.

    If HD-DVD had won the format war we would have higher capacity media than dual layer DVDs at a lower cost per GB than single layer.

    #3, how fast are you burning?
    These aren't the best, but if you burn at 2.4X or even 4X you might have better luck.
