Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used the Memorex DVD 4.7 with only a few problems. However, the Memorex DL discs are a different story. Regardless as to which speed I record, too often the burn would fail while recording. Other times, though the burn was successful, the DVD players would reject the disc as a "bad disk". The product is too inconsistent. I inadvertently purchased a second 50 spindle. After 10 consecutive bad burns, I returned the package for a refund. I purchased Verbatim and had no problems. Unfortunately, compared to Verbatim, the Memorex DL cost less and is consistently available.

I used up several of these Memorex discs trying to burn a DVD that would play on my Sony DVD/VCR player. While they worked perfectly in playback on my computer, playback on the DVD player was very poor. The beginning of each disc played well, but quality degraded as the disc progressed until it would finally freeze up. I tried 3 different videos, so the problem was not my file. A different brand DL disc (and one of only two brands that I will rely on from now on!) worked perfectly on all machines. I'll use these up for storing material that I will play back on my computer (although I can't vouch for longterm viability), but if you're looking for DVDs that will work on a player connected to your TV, save your money.

Although some have complained that they have had many, many coasters from these discs, I am inclined to blame failure on the software they used. A good value for the money, and, so far, no coasters.

I have used about a third of the discs so far, and I have yet to have a burn failure. Since I got them on sale for less than $35, I would have to say I'm very happy with their performance.

These are an awesome deal if you get them at 24.99 on sale, work on all the xboxs i have done and all my buddies. But when not on sale definitely go with the verbatims.

I have purchased these Memorex dual layer dvds from Best Buy and another retailer. I have yet to get a single completed project using these discs. With the same project open on my machine I switched to Verbatim and got a perfectly recorded disc. I have used other Memorex products without problems but they have failed miserably at producing a usable blank dual layer dvd.

I have two burners on two separate machines, a Pioneer and a Philips. No problems at all burning dual layer, verified by Nero and worked perfectly on both machines.

I have used this brand in the 4.7 gig for over a year now.. used hundreds... not a single problem which is pretty amazing to me.. but with the 8 gig I would get about half way through the disks then I would get a lock up-freeze- jibberish- then off to the end of the movie deal... happened to more than one cd out of 5, and have never had this problem with the previous dvd's as I said.. coincidence? I'm thinking not and that these disks just are not up to the DL task. I am going to try another brand since reviews there seem to be fine so far.. Look for my review.

I have gone through a 20 disc spindle of these and have had no success completing a burn. I have tried using three different DVD burners: internal on an iMac; internal on a MacBook Pro; and and external attached to the MacBook. I've done Google searches on the various error messages and tried several suggested fixes. But the bottom line from every support forum I've read is that the problem is incompatible media.

20 out of the 50 disc were bad media. They are basically coasters even before I opened the packaging. I'm never buying Memorex media again.

Unfortunately I purchased Memorex DL discs on numerous occasions when they were on sale. The best success I ever experienced was probably a 60% burn rate. I believe my last batch was approximately 30% successful. I thought it was because I didn't have high cost dvd burners, then I did more research and discovered it was the discs. I purchased Verbatim 96577 8.5 GB 2.4x-6x Double Layer Recordable Disc DVD+R DL, 50-Disc Spindle and have burned several in my first batch. I have yet to have a failed burn with the Verbatim. Never see the Verbatim DL on sale, but they are still a better value.

Bad quality, twice, 1st time thought my drive didnt like DL. 2nd time ran quality tests & got the run around from Memorex. They tefused to replace, claiming my memorex drive not compatiple with Win7. When I told them some were done on newer Hp drive that came with pc, I was told to open another claim for the "few disks" burned on it. DDONT BUY MEMOREX. Many of the single layer disks only 6mth old now going bad jumpy or wont play anymore. You will loose your data or movies, in my personal opinion

Working with three different burning programs, one of which is the current Nero Burning Rom (9.4.13.2), on a brand new Sony Dual Layer DVD-Burner (purchased at CompUSA) as well as a rather reliable NEC burner (Both with entirely current firmware), with every resident process killed, My internet disabled and using disks from two different stacks from two different manufactures... (I didn't choose to get Memorex again. I merely had no choice when trying to exchange the media at a local big box store (not Best Buy) as the store only carried Memorex DL's and they would not refund the money. Their return policy is not to refund money on opened blank media, even though to see if the media is defective, you have to open it.) ...the ratio was 2 to 3 coasters created for every successful burn. Losing the possibility of my system being the problem, it must be the media itself. Do not buy these unless you're looking for a way to make expensive yet pretty Coasters.

Not reliable - 9 out my first 10 burns resulted in an error. These disc said they were suppose to burb up to 8x. Not one of the 10 was above 2.4x. Wasted time and effort and hopefully not $88.38. Going to attempt to take the last 40 disc back to store for refund.

Out of 10 discs - 6 failed in burning - 4 completed burning successfully but only one of them plays properly. Why would Best Buy even consider putting a product like this on their shelf? Are there that many people that won't return defective products that they can make a profit? Memorex is carried by every store I shop at so there must be some incentive for carrying such a poor quality product.

I have a brand new pc and when I try to burn on these they spin - speed up and then ny burining program shuts down sasy incompatiable discs .... i contacted bestbuy and they blew me off ...

Great product, no issues with me. Thanks bestbuy for providing good products!

Wish I had read the reviews here before purchasing. The first 4 out of 5 discs gave me write errors, the 5th gave me read errors. I ahve gone thru (2) 25-pk spindles of Memorex DVD-R 4.7GB discs with no problems but these are junk!

Over a six month period, I purchased two of these Memorex 25-Pack 8x DVD+R DL spindles. Using 3 different DVD writers, an error often occured while writing more than half of the discs, rendering the discs no longer writable. The discs that successfully made it through the writing process, had errors during playback. All 3 DVD writers are successfully writing discs made by other manufacturers, but not the 8x DVD+R DL made by Memorex. Don't even purchase this product on sale, until this quality issue is addressed by Memorex.

I bought these DL blank dvd and thought they are good quailty, man was I disappointed. These DL Dvd are only good for use as a coaster. If you get a good burn, you can not tell the difference between the real dvd and the DL dvd. Avoid these dvd get some other brand instead.
