Yes. I too experienced that DVD+R DL are the most early type to fail on an ageing drive. I still have half a spindle of them, but only for the purpose of testing media recognition. (3 EUR as price is quite a while ago. Now you get them for less than 1 EUR.) To our luck, BD burners became achievable (~ 80 EUR + possibly USB box) and single layer BD-R media became cheaper than DVD+R DL. My last buy of 10 pieces on spindle was Verbatim BD-RE 25 GB 10.33 Primeon BD-RE 25 GB 7.60 Verbatim BD-R 25 GB 5.92 Primeon BD-R 25 GB 5.20 My oldest BD burner is picky with BD-RE and likes both brands. My youngest BD burner likes both brands of BD-R and BD-RE. I cannot get first generation "2x" BD-R for the old one any more. Have a nice day :) Thomas
