Got what I paid for...

(1 out of 5) by joseph m cone on Nov 16, 2003 (thibodaux, louisiana United States)
I have used Sony media exclusively until I saw the "good deal" on the Memorex DVD+R 25 pack. I have used 5 Memorex discs so far with only 2 successful burnings. At this rate, my DVDs are costing over $3 each. Sure, 25 DVDs for $30 is great, but if 2 out of every 5 work, the "value" quickly disappears. I have read a lot of other reviews reporting the same thing. I'm sticking with Sony for now on.

Great Media

(5 out of 5) by S. Silkenson on Jan 27, 2004 (Austin, TX)
I've been using these blank disks on a Micro Advantage 4DVDRW-B13 with Roxio Classic Creator. The DVD burner is a little generic but the Memorex media works perfectly at 4x. I tried Fujifilm first and got coasters. I should have started with Memorex. I've used almost 50 Memorex CD-R's in the past month or so without a single coaster and I'm sure the DVD+R's will be just the same. I'm not quite to 50 yet but I'm well on my way and no coasters yet.

so far so good

I'm using a new Phillips standalone, put in the firmware upgrade and have been using these discs for a week at 6 hour capacity. So far no glitches!

Terrible Media

Recommend RiData DVD-Rs. I bought a 100 pack of the memorex with bad results and ignored customer support. Wasted money.

Don't know if the problem is the media, software, hardware..

(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 30, 2004
I'm giving this a very avergae 3 stars because honestly i don't know whether the problems i am having are a result of the media, the hardware, or the software. I am using these Memorex 4x DVD+R discs with my Dell PC which has an NEC ND-1100A burner. The software is DVD X Copy Xpress. I have been successful about 80% of the time, and I can't figure out what's going wrong the other 20% of the time. Usually the software will finish the copy, say "burn successful", and the disc will pop out of the burner ready to go. I think "great, it worked!", but then I try to play it in my DVD player (which has never had a problem reading anything) and the player cannot read the disc. Not even my PC's DVD-ROM drive can read it.

So, in summary I don't know which piece of the puzzle is not working. Is it really possible for one brand of DVD+R (Memorex) to work better or worse then another (Fuji or TDK), even if they are the same speed? Too confusing, I tell you. What does one have to do to avoid wasting time and money? Oy vey...

If anyone has any tips or pointers feel free to email me at digs5446@hotmail.com.

Thanks!
