An important advantage of the Double-layer configuration is convenience. It allows users to read, write, or view nearly twice the amount of Data than with the currently popular single-layer 4.7GB DVD discs without having to flip sides or change discs.

I'm dubbing 8mm tapes from a sony GV-D200 video walkman to a sony DVDirect VRD-MC5 using this DVD+R DLs. From 12 DVDs recorded, 1 didn't finalized and 3 of them freez the picture near same time, in this case at 1 hour 55 min xx sec. This DVDs can record up to 215 min in SP mode. 25% of this DVDs, at the moment didn't work. Waste of time and more wear to the 8mm tapes for a new recording. Defective manufacture process.
Rating: - Very reliable
I burned 10 of these discs in quick succession (data mode, no movies) and I did not lose any disks. Takes approximately 1 hour to burn and verify job integrity (2.4x speed).

Firmware was up to date). I love Sony's 4.7 gb DVD's, but their DL's are manufactured by CMC and have a higher error rate than Verb. I would recommend paying a little bit extra for Verbatim.
Rating: - Excellent, excellent product!
It's hard to find a good, fairly inexpensive and stable DVD+R Double Layer for use in a home recorder. When you have a lot of material that requires something more than a standard 4.7 GB blank disc, your work seems to be cut out for you.
