Manufacturer's Description
This spindle of 50 AmazonBasics 8X DVD+R Double Layer discs provides a natural storage solution for video files and other high-capacity data.

These DVD+R Double Layer discs support fast write speeds from 2.4X to 8X and provide a recording time of up to 240 minutes.

Basic Advice for Writing or "Burning" CDs and DVDs (Including Dual Layer and Double Layer Discs)
1.    Check your drive/burner's documentation to confirm speed capabilities and the type of media that is suitable. If you are burning Dual Layer/Double Layer discs your drive/burner must be capable of using this media.

2.    Make sure your drive/burner's Firmware and your drive/burner's software has been updated to the latest Version Number in order to reliably use the latest and fastest media possible with your drive/burner (check your drive/burner documentation on upgrading your firmware and software).

3.    Set your burning software rate to an "Automatic" setting for burning speed, if possible. If such a setting does not exist, then set the burn speed to half or less of the drive/burner's rated maximum speed, or half of the blank disc's rated speed, whichever is lower.

4.    The disc's rated speed (as printed on the disc and package) is a maximum speed. When the burn process is set to "Automatic" the disc speed will actually fluctuate up and down as needed based on the type of information being burned and only occasionally reach the maximum burning speed. This is why if an "Automatic" burn rate setting is not available we recommend setting the disc to burn at half of the rated maximum (as stated in item #3 above).

Please refer to the compatibility chart for details on what kind of drives will work with this product.

DVD+R Double Layer Discs: Double the Storage
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 discs offer a storage capacity of 8.5 GB. Because the discs 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 disc can record up to four hours of DVD quality video programming, so you don't have to split up long programs onto several discs. 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 discs available. Almost all recent DVD players and drives can handle both burned DVD-R and DVD+R discs, 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 discs 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 disc 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 discs.
