good product - wish it was silver on top.......2007-12-17
The important thing is that I have not yet had to toss any of these out because of a 'bad burn' when authoring, relative to other brands I've used. My only complaint, and it's aesthetic, is that the top is golden in color, which I was not able to determine from any descriptions or promotional material. When labeling, I get better color if the top of the disc is silvery, rather than golden. But, when using Light Scribe (black & white), color isn't an issue. In terms of authoring, I recommend this product. In terms of labeling, I'm going to keep looking for a better alternative.
Excellent media!.......2007-10-26
It usually takes around 25 min. to burn a complete cover (full of graphic details) in the best quality. Excellent results on games, music and videos.
They're a bit expensive, but all brands are.
My five stars are based in durability and quality.

all right by me !!! .......2007-12-09
Memorex makes a very reliable blank DVD-R that can handle up to 4.7 GB of data. Moreover, these blank DVD-Rs are capable of recording data at speeds up to 16x. The video I record onto these lasts forever. I have used these as discs to record video both with and without audio.
The DVD-R discs are compact and easy to store. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your record video onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your DVD-Rs that have information stored on them. Don't store these discs, used or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose your recorded video over time.
There are two caveats that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the video onto the blank disc using computer software, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than 16x. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra minute or two (tops) that you wait to get your DVD-R completed is worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink can seep through the top coating of the DVD-R disc and slowly but surely compromise your data--and you wouldn't want that, now would you? If you need to label the discs, label its' jewel case using a post-it note.
Overall, Memorex blank DVD-R discs store video reliably over the years and I believe that an extra minute to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it in the event that it doesn't actually burn at 16x.
Use `em in good health!
MEMOREX CONSISTENTLY PRODUCES DEFECTIVE MEDIA.......2007-12-05
For various purposes, I go through a great deal of CD and DVD recordable media. From time to time, I have had occasion to purchase Memorex media of various description, usually when others have purchased media on my behalf.
EVERY BATCH of Memorex recordable media I have purchased over the past decade or so is virtually guaranteed to produce AT LEAST 3% coasters, OFTEN A GREAT DEAL MORE. Aside from the coaster production, often data errors will render whole segments of music CDs or movie DVDs unusable once they are burned.
I have seen a few reviews by others that have encountered similar results and NO, my comrades in Memorex dissatisfaction, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
To anyone who enjoys having to re-burn data to disc due to media failure, Memorex is for you! For all others with greater sanity, I would recommend avoiding ALL Memorex media.
Much as Memorex made their mark in the 1970s by having slick advertising rather than quality product, they do much the same today.
Just today, thinking that I would once again try Memorex DVD-R media ONE MORE TIME (thinking that somehow they had suddenly improved their standards), I immediately got a coaster from the FIRST DISC OUT OF THE SPINDLE.
Better than Memorex is TDK, Verbatim, Sony, and many store-branded media (especially Fry's Electronics "GQ" brand). Failure rates that I have experienced with these brands have been as low as 0%. My experience with Memorex media has yielded an average failure rate of 3% (3 out of 100 on a spindle, of course) to 5% (5 out of a spindle of 100). To me, this is an unacceptable failure rate.
My previous attempts to return a few defective burned discs to retailers have been laughed at, and I believe that is what second-tier manufacturers like Memorex count on. AVOID THEM!!!!
PERFECT!.......2007-11-25
Just finished off the last of my memorex's and plan to buy more. Bought 3 50-pack spindles, ZERO coasters, all burned at 16X speed. Will buy many more, plus a great deal for the price!
Haphazard results when archiving movies.......2007-09-05
I've owned the RCA DRC 8030 DVD recorder since June, and I'd have to say that roughly one third of all DVDs burned showed pixelation artifacts on playback. Sometimes the pixelation was minor, sometimes there would be large green horizontal streaks on the frame and actual simultaneous audio buzzing, but regardless, what I ended up with was a coaster in one-third of my recording attempts. The movie played right off the DVD recorder hard disk is perfectly clear, so that is not the problem. The problem seemed to be independent of film/program length or recording speed. Switching to DVD+R's has eliminated the problem completely, so I can only assume that the DVD-R was the source. I would therefore not recommend this product for archiving movies, at least for my particular brand of DVD recorder.
Bad product or bad lot ???.......2007-07-03
I never feel like I need to put the review. I may got a bad lot of this product. I tried a few disc to back up my data by Nero program and Philip drive, dell computer E1405. It failed more than half. At first I think that my drive is bad or my computer have something wrong, so I formatted and reinstalled all programs and then tried it again. It failed again. I think about buying a new dvd writer. I never think that the disc is bad, but when I write my data on Verbatim after I failed with Memorex. Verbatim worked great!!! It saved my money before I buy a new dvd writer. I cannot explain what happenned. If Memorex staff read this, please let me know. 1 star for wasting my time and I don't know what to do with 45 memorex disc ???

Memorex DVD+R.......2007-12-23
Product works fine, no flaws or re-writes due to errors. The CD face is lined with dots, would rather it be plain or just have the manufactures name. This would allow marking the contents easier.
crapola.......2007-07-15
Had the 8x speed before and they were great.These on the other hand totally sucked .Am only getting 2-3 good out of every 5 disks.Will never buy from Memorex again.
It's not the discs - It's your PC........2007-06-17
I have these discs and couldn't burn a good one to save my life. That was when I was using a PC. I recently switched to a Mac and presto - I haven't had a single problem since. I feel that PC's are too prone to programs causing problems and conflicting with other programs, etc. I would get a write failure if my screensaver kicked in while burning. Seriously - check out your PC before you blame the discs. Better yet....buy a Mac.
STAY AWAY!.......2007-05-03
stay away from these discs.... i run a photo and music studio and bought a 200 of these discs to back up most of my files... BUrnt them at 8x and when the time came to put them back onto my hard drive..PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS>.. the disc would no read... tried burning dvd's on there... same problems.. i've dealt with many DVD r's before.. memorex is the worst!... clearly it wasnt my burner because i tried the discs on 4 different machines.... looking for reliable discs... go with Sony DVD+R they're by far the best!
