Seems pretty good. Burned 6 so far and all work perfectly. I burned at 2x to be safe. Tried 4x once and seems to be fine also.

I'm very happy with these discs. They arrived well-packaged without incident. I've burnt 10 so far without a coaster, and PIE/PIF profiles look much better than my old 2.4x Verbatim discs.

This is very thin light Shinny disc (you can even use it as a personal mirror), not sure why Amazon would want to put their prestigious brand-name label for this crappy media. 3 Errors occurred out of 5 this Amazon DVD+R DL, statistically speaking, it is an outlier of the mean average for any brand with this much errors; my best brand, Memorex, failed about 2 out 25 in the norm bell-shaped. Not wonder it is cheap for DL of 50 discs.

I burned at 2x, 2.4x and 4x and the results have been poor even at slow speeds. I also tried 3 different burners with no improvement.
I've gone through about 30 disks so far with only 9 successfully burned and verified discs, 11 discs that burned successfully but failed the verification process, and about 10 discs that failed to burn completely.
The discs that were burned and verified successfully work fine so perhaps I got a bad batch, but I would wait for more reviews before purchasing another spool since there may be a quality issue.

These DVDs are absolutely worthless. I have used many different brands of media and I have never had a problem burning data until I got these. Of the few that actually burned correctly, when put into a PC they took a lengthy time to be recognized as a data disc by the PCs. I have attempted to use them on a laptop and a PC without luck on either one. I'll get 1 or 2 that work, then 5 or 6 that fail. Even some of the discs that claimed to have successfully burned did not. I attempt to copy a supposed successful disc onto another PC and it fails recording 1/2 through. It's obvious they should not be making DL DVDs. Single layer may work fine, but these are garbage for DL copying.

DVD+R Double Layer is a Write-Once format with a storage lifetime that's intended for storing videos and archiving important business or personal data. DVD+R Double Layer disks offer a storage capacity of 8.5 GB. Because the disks can hold nearly twice as much data, they are a low-cost, space-saving storage choice that can be used for a wide range of applications.
Each AmazonBasics DVD+R Double Layer disk can record up to four hours of DVD quality video programming, so you don't have to split up long programs onto several disks. A single DVD+R Double Layer can also hold six hours of VHS-quality video or more than 120 hours of MP3 audio.
DVD+R Compatibility
There are two types of recordable DVD disks available. Almost all recent DVD players and drives can handle both burned DVD-R and DVD+R disks, but some older players can only read one format or the other. It is important to check your player's manual to determine which DVD type it supports.
8X Write Speed and Organic Dye: Built for Fast, Accurate Writing
AmazonBasics DVD+R Double Layer disks enable fast write speeds from 2.4X to 8X for quick, clean data transfer. (To take full advantage of these speeds, your DVD burner must burn at speeds of at least 8X. Consult your computer or DVD burner product manual for this information.)
An 8X transfer speed translates to 10.56 MB/s, which means that you can burn a full disk in less than 14 minutes. The organic dye used on the write side of these DVD+Rs ensures stable writing at high speeds for reliable, accurate finished disks.
