Comments?
Just FYI I had to recently return two Samsung drives to OWC for
exchange to Pioneer 118L. The Samsung failed too many times to
burn DVDs DL also the Lightscribe on this drive is miserable
compared to the HP. Also I have found little or no quality
difference in media brands. I think it's in the rippers and
burning procedures.
Guess I'd better go on and buy some ... in case I have to return
the drive ... may be already too late.
Well I bought these DVD+R DL:

Memorex DVD+R DL 8x (white label), and they don't work on my Zenith
DVD Player.
Burns fine on my Samsung Writemaster, Plays back fine, but results in
a read error on the Zenith and doesn't load.
Guess my player doesn't do DL DVDs?
What's the comparison to commercial brand DVDs that are larger than
the 4.7GB of the single layered DVDs? The Zenith plays commercial ones
fine, as well as the single layer DVDs that I make.
