Home > Consumer Reviews > Memorex DVD+R 16x 4.7GB 100 Pack Spindle

I bought a batch of these from Comp USA. When I first started burning DVD's I used Memorex. I've since switched to Verbatim & Fuji but these were on sale so I gave them a try. I guess I should have checked the first DVD but since I used Memorex before and didn't get any errors I assumed everything was OK. I burned over 30 before something caused me to check one and sure enough it didn't work. When I checked the other 30+ plus I burned they didn't work either. It was obvious then what the problem was. I tried several at different speeds and 4x was the fastest speed I could reliably burn at. I use an NEC 3450a 16x DVD burner and I know not all discs will burn at maximum listed speed but this is too big a gap. I'm sticking with Verbatim.

Do NOT read the reviews and think that they are completely accurate or from people that know what they're doing... i have purchased 4 spindles of these Memorex 100packs 16x DVD+r's and have not had any problems- if you know what you're doing and use the right software, you'll be fine. batches of dvd's can occasionally be defective, but over the course of a few hundred dvd's i have not had any problems- these are a quality product and if those other reviewers wanted their money back, i'm sure memorex would give it to them no questions asked....

How this only has a single star is beyond me. I burn a lot of DVD's and Memorex is the only brand I use. Best quality, period. I've used other brands and for some reason the just don't come out right. Personal preference, but there is just certain things you stick with if they work right the first time.

Just finished a spindle of Sony DVDs, and bought the Memorex on sale. I am doing a backup of my entire movie collection, and out of the first 7 discs I tried, 4 gave me "Incompatible Media" errors and had to be tossed. These discs are junk, I highly recommend Sony and I usually find them on sale for $12 or so.

I have never ever given a 1 star rating to any product before as far as I can recall, but this baby deserves it; if I could give a zero I would.
I bought 4 of these 100 pack spindles. Everyone of them dont work, not even one. You can tell by the amount of disks that I ordered that I am no novice when it comes to making DVD's.
I have tried these with 3 different burners and all of them give the same result. Dont get me wrong the burn process went fine, but after years of burning and going back to copy something you burnt earlier and cant copy them because of disk error you come to realise that a "succesful burn" does not mean that it was done right.
This is why I started to chose the 'Verify After Burn' method. This process ensures that what is burnt is actually an exact replica of what you wanted to backup. I did this process with these disks and all of them had no problems in the burn process but everyone of them FAILED the verify process, and I do mean all of them.
Like I said I used 3 different computers with 3 different burners and all failed. I even used 3 different softwares (DVD Decrypter, Nero and Roxio) and all failed. I tried some other DVD's I had and they burned fine and verified perfectly.
These disks are utter Crap and I will never use memorex again. I used them before but to varying degrees of sucess but never as catastrophic as this. Oh and by the way I even took some disks from the middle of the stack and same results.
It is just inexcusable for me to have 400 of these coasters and ever consider buying that brand again. What a waste it is for me; especially scince i live in the Bahamas and the cost to send them back to amazon is going to be almost as than buying them again.
I hope this review helps someone, sometimes low price means just downright LOW in the approach to quality.
