Best on the market.......2007-04-08
these verbatim dvds are the only dvds i buy. they are the most reliable for me in copying full-length movies. i have backed up many movies and they all look flawless, just as the original copies.
buy verbatim, you won't regret it.
The best media available.......2007-01-04
I've been burning these since I received them and no problems at all. Great for both movies and data.
good purchase.......2006-03-10
These disks have worked well thus far. I have not had a problem with a single disk.
I've tried it all..........2005-02-18
...and this is the best media I have come across at the 16x speed. I have tried it on three brands of burners with only 1 failure out of 50 tries (and that one was likely as much my system's fault than the disk's fault). The three DVD Burners brands that I have used are Lite-on, Rosewill, and MicroAdvantage. They ARE buggy on certain Pioneer Burners, so you may want to avoid them if you are using a Pioneer.
With regard to high failure rates, before giving up, be sure to update the latest firmware on your burner, turn off any programs running during the burning stage, and make sure your power supply is sufficient (which can cause errors at higher speeds or the outside of the disk). If that doesn't work, you may want to try different software; when I did, my cheap DVD's went from jumping around to solid as a rock. If you still have high failure rates, it could be defective and subject to warranty. Otherwise, you may just have to stay away.
But, in my opinion, these are the most reliably produced disks out there, with Ridata coming in a close second.
No Problems at 16X so far.......2005-01-10
I bought a new 16X burner for my PC and have tried the 25pk Verbatim 4.7GB 16X DVD+R media on it. I have not had any failures so far burning at 16X and the playback has been fine. I have bought another 25pk of this media.

DVD-RW Works Great.......2007-12-27
Works as advertised on my Panasonic VHS/DVD Recorder. The price at 90 cents per DVD disc is terrific. I've used about 10 disc so far and each one has worked just fine.
Good stuff Maynard!!!.......2007-05-15
I have used this product for the last few years and they have been extremely reliable with little to no problems at all. I highly recommend this product
They work great on my DVD Recorder........2007-02-08
The product manual for my DVD Recorder recommended these discs. These discs are great, I wish they sold them in 100 packs. I will be buying these discs again and again. I never argue with success. Sony no baloney.
Screwed by unscrupulous vendor.......2007-01-05
The item is practicable and of decent quality,
but the vendor really screwed me over for the shippping costs: I paid for expedited 2-6 day service, and it ended up taking longer than two weeks, and no apologies or refunds for the shipping were forthcoming from the bastard vendor.
Nothing makes me angrier than to be dicked around like this, and it gives Amazon.com a bad name.
I give him the worst rating, and would advise Amazon to consider revoking his permission to continue as an Amazon vendor.

Customer Reviews:
Even the warranty discs are corrupted.......2006-06-01
I bought these discs not too long ago and only about 30% passed verify. I complained to Memorex and they sent me some replacements. The replacements are terrible also. I will never use Memorex DVD's again
I've Had NO Problems!.......2006-01-06
I've had these disks for a couple months now and haven't had any problem with them going bad. I loved the price. Great quality! Would buy from again!!
Bummer! What happened!?.......2005-10-24
I had the same situation as previous posters, I went thru a couple 50-spools of the 4x and had almost NO problems. Then I couldn't find any more of those and had to switch to the 8x... and now something like 3/4th of my current spool fails to burn with "power calibration error". I have a sony 4x DRU-500A.
Read this before buying!!.......2005-07-28
I say read this before buying because I am not going to trash Memorex, I am going to explain what will go wrong and why. These discs should work for a while. Memorex used to be a very highly regarded name in fact. Recent Memorex releases have gone down in quality. I scanned and diagnosed some of these Memorex discs, and found out a few things...They have manufacturing label CMC MAG, the worst manufacturing label on the market. Memorex doesn't even make these discs! They buy them from CMC MAG and write Memorex on them! Some CMC MAG discs have gone bad and completely corrupted in less than 2 months! If you are using these for anything but temporary, stay away. The quality is good, while it lasts.
be aware... bad product.......2005-07-06
I bought 50 DVD spindle. Used them all with no problem. Once tried to see the movies they all started freezing 1/2 way. I called my friend and he had the same problem. It looks like I have to turn off the DVD player for about 15 minutes and wait for the DVD temperature to cool down. The normal heat generated from the DVD player is affecting the DVD disks. Once I do that, it works fine. Unfortunately I already bought another 100 spindle from Best Buy, but these were worse, I recorded with no problem but it froze all together once tried to watch the movie. I tried 5 disks with same result. I returned them with full refund. I used generic DVD from Staples and worked great. I transfered some DVD's and they worked fine. I'm using Philips now on NEC DVD burner and they worked great. After doing some research and reading some reviews on chat lines I found that a lot of people having the same problem. One person said that Memorex use the cheapest die for thier DVD's. Please be aware, they might burn fine but when you need to retrieve the data is were you'll have the problem.

Reliable discs.......2005-12-22
I have used a few of these Fuji 8x DVD+R discs with no problems so far.
RICOHJPNR01 brand (top quality).......2004-04-27
This batch of fujifilm uses Ricoh technology for their dvd's!!! If you're unfamiliar to the different brands of dvd's out there, then let me inform you that Ricoh is the best brand there is out there (CMC is good too; Memorex uses this). I've successfully written at 2x, 4x, 6x, and yes, even 8x speeds!!! Of course this isn't recommended for a 4x writable dvd, but I'm just saying this to tell you these are quality dvd's. Pay a little extra for these and you'll save money in the end by not burning a lot of coasters. These dvd's use the blue dye, which indicates good longevity. The end

My Apple iMac won't read these disks, and I see I'm not the only one having this problem. Very disappointing.
Memorex DVD-R disks for computers and CD-R for music.......2007-11-26
I have had no success using Memorex DVD-R disks for backup with my iMac G4, nor with a new MacBook Pro. They simply do not work. Nor will Memorex CD-R disks work with my Sony CD player/recorder.

TDK discs problematic.......2004-08-08
Previously used Memorex, Verbatim discs with few to no problems. Many TDK discs start to skip or cause "unable to read" messages in my PC and my PS2 right toward the ends of movies. Been having to see many movies over to see what happens. Bad. Stay away.
Great Discs. No Problems at all.......2004-06-02
These are great DVD+R discs. I have had trouble with others, such as Memorex in some players. The TDK ones, as well as Sony, work perfectly. I run a very high end PC, so I have no issues with the data speed transfer and write, which is the usual cause of the poor DVD performance post-burn and failed burns. All I buy now is Sony and TDK, and couldn't be happier.
does not play correctly in some players.......2004-01-13
does not play correctly in some players, skips and some were defective before even adding anything on them. as i said before this used to be a really good company at one time.
plus the packaging looks generic.
Zero problems with these disks.......2004-01-03
I purchased a TDK external Indi DVD burner and tried several brands of DVD's. The burner has been flawles with all brands of DVDs that I used (TDK, Memorex, Verbatin). However, I have had problems with Memorex CD-Rs in the past and have noticed that the Memorex DVD's are somewhat transparent (very noticeable when you use a marker on the front) which probably does not bode well for long term life. I have burned over 50 of the TDK DVD's without any problems and have played them in a variety of DVD players without any problems. TDK has very good reputation among DVD enthusiasts and the Indi burner is a CNET editor choice (and the Sony is not). Perhaps the other reviewers here had other problems that were not really the result of bad media or hardware.
Quality control is (apparently) non-existent.......2004-01-03
I agree with the previous review... have had problems with TDK discs, where Memorex and Sony have no problems at all.
Recently bought the TDK burner and had problems. Customer service was no help, so I replaced it with a Sony, and all is fine (using Sony and Memorex discs). Tried to use some TDK discs in the Sony burner, and now have 20 coasters (out of a 25 pack)!
I will not be buying TDK again.

Customer Reviews:
Great product.......2007-07-24
Great product but very difficult to find 8x compatible anymore. 16x has taken over. I hope to purchase more from this seller as long as they still have them on their shelves. So far very satified. Thanks!
Why Pay More!?.......2006-07-26
This DVD burning isn't as cut and dried as some would like you to believe. However, just because you get a bad burn doesn't mean it is the discs. There is a whole bunch of stuff going on in your computer that can affect the burn.
I have a Dell 1.2 ghz, with a Lite-On 8x drive, running Nero 6 OEM. Pretty generic, but these Memorex 8x and now 16x discs burn just fine. In fact, I have burnt about 600-800 of these discs and have had very few fall-outs. Not enough to justify buying the "better" quality discs.
Now for the caveat: I did have one spate of problems, caused by a not so well behaved antivirus program. I tossed out the antivirus program and went over to Avast!(it's free, check with Microsoft). Problem solved even though I run Winamp and a logging environmental sampling program while burning discs.
We burn hundreds of discs for a hospital lecture series. They are being played on all sorts of equipment, including some pretty banged up junk. So far I have not received one complaint about the discs only suggestions about the content.
Before you spend big bucks on some "better" disc, pop up your task manager in XP and see if there is some runaway task that needs some discipline. Also, if you must run "better" discs then do a surface test in Nero. I bet the "better" disc will look very close to failure if the Memorex failed.
Look out for antonline_com shipping costs!.......2006-04-11
If you are considering purchasing these DVD+R's through the Amazon seller called "antonline_com" (which was the only choice at the time of this writing) then make sure you check the S&H charges first.
Antonline charges 6.99 per shipment PLUS 0.99 per pound!!!
works great!.......2005-11-24
I have had good success using these discs with a Sony DRU800 dvd writer. No complaints.
A Solid Brand of DVD.......2005-11-03
This is one of the good brands out there. This should last decades, maybe a century or more, according to some experts. Just store them in a cool, dry place and they just might last a couple hundred years.

Customer Reviews:
Decent, burns and reads fine........2007-05-11
These DVD+r's look a little sketchy, I know. I was worried they wouldn't burn or read well but I was wrong. They burn fine. I have a Pioneer DVDRW K-16 drive in my notebook and it burns to these disks with no problem. I use The latest Nero suite also. I can't attest to the shelf life of these disks, obviously, but they don't seem too crappy. I've played them in my dvd player and original xbox and both work. I haven't tried 16X burning becuase my drive doesn't support it so maybe that speed is bad for the disk, but 8X and under seems to be fine. I would recommend these to someone with my hardware setup or similar or someone that feels lucky. the other reviews seem to say that these disks are hit or miss. Well they hit for me so that's all I can say. Great Value though.
These discs did not work for me.......2007-03-14
I have used other memorex dvd+r in the past with no problems, and for some reason these did not work. I have a Fantom Drives external DVD writer, so if you have one of those then I would shy away from buying these DVDs.
Beware ..........2006-03-28
The Memorex DVD+R 16x that I received were Taiwanese made CMC MAG M01. They are not the highest quality by any measure. On NERO quality scan, you get between a score of 40-75 (okay, upper 70s). I bought some ProDisc that scored in the 65-90 (and the 65 was only 1 disk, most in the upper 70 to 80). The Taiyo Yuden 8x was getting me 85-95 range. Too bad that Amazon does not carry (to my knowledge) the better ProDisc or Taiyo Yuden.
Umm..........2005-08-30
Burned several discs and applied full-surface labels. Didn't work in any of 3 players. Have burned a bunch since then w/out labels, and they seem to be OK. But if they're anything like the CDRs from Memorex, the without-label surfaces will chip away within a year and render the DVDs useless.
Anyway, when we buy a spindle of any blank media, we shouldn't have to wonder if the first 5 or 10 are going to be trial runs. I guess I have bought this brand so many times because of the price/quantity relationship at local stores. I'm ready to switch to something more reliable.
