I have some DataWrite 8.5 Gb Dual Layer discs and I have only ever managed to record twice successfully thing is both times each program said it failed to burn properly yet when I eject and put back in it reads them fine.
Nero 7 would never let me burn a video over 4.7Gb onto a DL disc when creating my own movie it would say "Cant burn to this type of media", but now I use Ashampoo Burning Studio 10 and again it failed to verify and said the files dont match yet it will read and I can play my music.
I do have a Ext 500GB Seagate Caddy with back-ups but I like to keep a 2nd and 3rd back-up if I need too as you never know when I HDD may fail. My Samsung DVD-RW drive is 2 years old bruns read perfectly never used Lightscribe more than 5 times over the course.
I have also tried 2 other brands of DL media.
