Dual layer DVD discs - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Has anyone bought and used dual layer DVD discs? It doesn't look like the turstworthy Taiyo Yuden manufactures dual layer discs. If have had good luck with a particular brand, please let me know. I usually buy in bulk, 25, 50, 100 or more. Since dual layer discs are still expensive compared to single layer, I would hate to spend the $$$ then find out the quality is subpar.

Thanks!

I bought my first DVD burner recently and it's dual layer capable. But the first time I went to buy some DL blanks I freaked about the price. Screw that. Single layer is fine for now.

Memorex DL +R has worked fine for me so far, only two coasters but I think it was the software that I was using when I first started to back up my movies. As for the prices, they are pretty crazy, but I've found some great deals once in a while.

I bought the cheapo GQ ones, and haven't really had a problem. If I do, I'll mourn the $1.50 and try again.

But I use them for movies, not critical data.
