I have been buying this brand for ages, and was always a big fan. They are more expensive than some other brands, like memorex, but I thought they were worth the extra. They were reliable, burned well (no coasters as people say) and you could always tell by looking at them that they were good.
This is the first time I've bought this particular type - with two recording layers they are supposed to offer you almost double the capacity on a single side, so you can get almost 4 hours of DVD -enough for even the most enthusiastic home movie maker!
Well that's true, and the one's I got to work, worked fine, but lots didn't work.
One you could see when I took it out of the box it was all bubbled on the surface, so I didn't even try to burn that one. And of the pack of 10 I bought, 3 so far have not worked out of 7 I've used, not including the bubbled one, which I'm sure won't work. So that's only 50% good, so far.
I'm not happy, especially as they cost £15.64 from PC World.
I won't buy them again, which is sad, as everything I have bought from them in the past has been fab, and I was happily paying a bit more for a great product. Maybe I just got a rogue box.......
I will try taking it back to PC world and let you know how I get on, but the store is not close to home and I don't go there too often, so it'll have to wait a while.
