Title: Fine media but not capable of 8x
Review: I bought these to burn video DVDs to play on a 2nd generation (10+ year old) DVD player and they work fine. That's about the best endorsement of compatibility I can give: That DVD player won't play half the discs from Netflix.The only caveat I found is that you really cannot burn these at 8x as the packaging claims. The faster you burn a disc, the less time each 'bit' spends under the laser. Beyond a certain point the DVD burner is at full power and cannot toast the bit as thoroughly as it would like. I have found 4X to work fine, but it will depend on your DVD drive. At 8X the ancient DVD player gets the occasional macroblock (video glitch). Yes, it will take 25 minutes to burn a dual-layer DVD at 4x. Better than a coaster in half the time!Also, these discs do have a silver label surface, not a bare plastic top like my super cheap single-layer DVD+Rs.
