For a long time, Memorex was the only Double Layer option for me because of price. I never really had a hard time with the 2X discs burning on the Pioneer burners (DVR-110D and 111D) in most Macs. The new 8X discs are a completely different story. I've lost at least half of the discs. I switched from DragonBurn to Toast8, with improved results for a few burns, but then more "sense errors" a quarter to halfway through the burn. The reality is Memorex DL media is not preferred media for the Pioneer drives. It was never a problem till this new 8X batch. Buy at your own risk!

What a bunch of junk! Every one of their disks failed. After contacting Memorex, they informed me that I would have to ship them back to at my expense along with my receipt that I no longer have. I informed them that it would be a lot cheaper to throw them away and never buy any thing from Memorex again. I never heard back from them again. What I now use is Sony DVD+R DL and have never had any problems at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars 0 for 3 - DVDs won't produce readable results on the second layer (using iMove/iDVD on a mac), October 22, 2009

I've burned 3 DVD's so far and none of them fully work. The first one was a widescreen version of the next two, all contain home movies recorded from a new HD camera. All three successfully burned to completion, but none of them can be completely read/played on any of the DVD players I have, including the computer that burned them. The first one gets spit out and never even gets to the menu. The other two play half-way through and freeze with the message "skipping damaged area" and never unfreeze unless I stop and start over at the main menu. I'm going to try a couple more times using a suggestion on a previous review to burn at slower speeds.
