    Great DVDs

    Haven't had a problem with them and have been using them for years. Probably have burned well over a hundred DVDs with these and they have always worked great.

    Not as bad as everyone says.

    Most of the reviews you read are people burning them at too fast of a speed, if you burn these at 2.4x then 95% of them worked out great for me.

    Amazing, if you have a newer burner!

    I think the reason why people have trouble with these discs is their burner itself. Like I said before, I have not had a single coaster out of 75 discs. I have an HP Elite with an internal burner, which is about half a year old. While Verbatims are probably a better bet for someone who hasn't used DLs before, this is definitely a better choice financially. Well done, Memorex. ;)

    These work fine!

    I read alot of reviews about how these fail all the time. They were on sale so I decided to try them. I bought a 25 pack and ALL 25 burned perfect! Not one fail. The people that have problems probably have a bad burner or the wrong software to burn with! Give em a try!

    Wait before buying

    I'm not sure when Memorex switched to their current generation DVD+R DL discs but these new ones are not worth buying. I have been using Memorex DL discs since late 2008. Up until around May/June or so of this year I would have said they were excellent. However they switched something and these new ones are useless. If I'm lucky I get a successful burn percentage around 35%. Previously the same burners and software gave me 99.9% success rate and the .01% error was usually mine. I switched to Verbatim DL discs and am back to a 99.9% success rate, still with the same burners and software. I have to conclude that the error is with the disc not my equipment. The disc quality change happened at the same time that Memorex changed the Logo and styling that they put on the physical discs. When I see the old style discs, usually at another store I can't mention, I buy them and have good luck with them. However finding anything other than the new style now is virtually impossible, so stick with the Verbatims.

    No coasters yet and burned a bunch

    I am using non commercial SW to burn DVD's and I've yet to have a problem that wasn't a direct result of operator error. Durability is TBD but they work as expected and that's all I can ask for.

    Out of 10 disc's so far only 2 have burned my data files. I use these dual layered dvd's to back up and store data from work. I've used Sony and Verbatim before and they both work very good. These are a complete disappointment. Don't waste your money.

    No problems at all, I've burned about 18 DL DVDs using Nero 9. My DVD burner is a LITE-ON 8X IDE with lightscribe. I'm ready to buy more and I'll get the same thing again.

    Best DVD+R's (when on sale)

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Way to expensive at regular price, but they are the only DVD+R I use. When they do go on sale you'll find it was worth the wait. Though the pack of 50 was much more convenient, but I can't find those any more.

    Stick with Verbatim

    Has issues with discs. I have gone throught over 50 verbatim discs and no disc issues. I have just used 6 memorex and only 1 worked correctly. I use a low burn speed and leave the computer alone, still has issues. Stick with verbatim DL.

    Waste of money and time

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I agree with the poor reviews. Last time I used Memorex was about 2 years ago and up to that point I had good luck. Two years ago I had so many failed burns I thought the problem was hardware. I replaced my burner because I had previously had good luck with Memorex. After I installed the new burner I tried again and more failed burns. Now, I use verbatim even if the DL is a 2.4x, I would rather burn slow and not have a failed burn, it still saves time by not having to retry over and over. I found a link to a blank DVD quality guide which is obviously a valuable tool here it is: http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm

    Complete waste of time and money

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These are truly the worst DVDs I've ever used. One bad disc after the other. Finally threw the whole spindle away out of frustration. By reading the reviews, most buyers have the same problem. Why won't Memorex fix it? I guess they're happy with a substandard product. I've had better value from an off-brand of dubious quality. At least in that case I only had a 50% failure rate. Memorex brand was totally unreliable any burner I tried. My only advise is: DON'T BUY MEMOREX. Buy ANYTHING rather than Memorex. Best Buy carries several other brands, so buy them. I've had great luck with HP, Sony, Maxell and Verbatim discs; all quality companies with great products.

    I wasted so much gas

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have used this brand a few times, well this last pack I bought I used a few out of it and decided to see if it worked in my dvd player, well it would play the beginning and then the screen went black so I was thinking ok mabe I messed something up.Well I tried it again and same thing so I said well let me try something different so I did and guess what same thing happened. Well I decided to look out the disc and see if I see something wrong with them, I look at the outer edgeds and they were bubbled from what I have no idea. Because of the bubbled it caused the dvds to get stuck in my dvd player and my computer.So I wasted gas to go pick them up in the store, and I had to waste gas to take them back to the store.I will have to waste gas once more because the store didn't have any other brands.Do not waste you time or money with this brand.

    Had no problems

    I have read a lot of people down rating these DVDs... I am not sure where the problem lies but I have used about 100 of these and getting ready go to buy another pack. I have only had one out of all of those be a bad burn. I was trying to play a game at the same time it was burning so I can not blame the disk for my error.

    I can not rate this stuff since I have used only 3 CDs yet. Review of a CD is very hard. Sometime your CD writer is not good and you may blame the wrong stuff

    I make movies and the dual layer gives me lots of space and works better on my blu-ray than regular DVD's.

    Junk Media

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    People keep saying it must be the software or user error, but I tried Memorex on my MacBook Pro, a USB External Memorex(!) drive, on a Windows 7 PC with ISOBurn and Nero with no luck. I tried to lower the burn speed as well. I returned them for some TDK DVD+R DL discs and my image burned the first time, with no issues. Do yourself a favor and buy Verbatim...they use Mitsubishi media and they are very highly rated.

    Computer use only!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.
