Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Memorex offers a full line of DVD-R recordable blank media. The 4X DVD-R 4.7GB 50 pack spindle offers storage of up to 4.7 GB of data and approximately 120 minutes of video. Consumers can transfer home movies from VHS or 8mm cassettes, back-up computer hard drives and large files. With larger storage capacities on DVD media, users can store at least 6.5 times more than on a CD-R/RW.

Amazon.com Product Description

This 50-pack of 4x DVD-R discs consists of write-once, single-sided discs that store up to 4.7 GB of data and approximately 120 minutes of DVD quality video--that's more than six times as much data as will fit on a recordable CD. You can transfer your home movies from VHS or 8mm cassettes, back-up computer hard drives and large files, or stuff them chock full of MP3 music files and JPEG image files from your digital camera. A one-year warranty protects you against defects in the near term, while the discs' rated archival life of 70 to 100 years means you can rest easy about the future of your data.

Special Note: Using new recordable discs (4X for DVD-R) in 1X-2X Pioneer manufactured DVD drives and DVD recorders may cause damage to the DVD drive or recorder and possibly to the loaded 4X disc. The source of the problem is a firmware "bug" in certain DVD-R/RW drives and recorders, and not with the media itself. A firmware update is required to avoid potential damage to the units and discs.

The following products may be affected:
Pioneer DVR - A03 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - A04 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - 103 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - 104 Computer Drive
Pioneer DVR - 7000 DVD Recorder
Pioneer PRV - 9000 Professional DVD Recorder
Apple and Compaq Systems with DVD-R/RW Drives (Pioneer DVR-103 & DVR-104)

Anyone who owns or uses any of the above listed products should perform the free firmware update immediately, prior to using the new 4X DVD-R discs. Firmware updates can be accomplished in the following two ways:
For computer drives: A free update utility can be downloaded at www.pioneerelectronics.com/hs/

For computer drives and stand-alone DVD recorders:

A WARNING IF YOU ARE DECIDING TO GET THESE - Reviewed on 2005-04-08

I had no problems burning to these discs, its when I went back a few months later to these discs and found out that none of them work anymore. After further research I found out that Memorex uses the cheapest dye available and thus the DVDs have absolutelly no life to them, my discs started dying after a few months.
In addition, in you physically hold the disc in your hands you can feel how warped physically it has become. This is true for all the discs (about 150 of them). I CAN NOT NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT STRONLY ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beware -- these DVD disks are terrible! Over half of them end up not readable or contain errors or glitches. In contrast, I don't have any problems when using Verbatim or Sony DVD disks at all.

This are the ones - Reviewed on 2005-02-05

These Dvds are the way to go. I have burned over 200 of these babys and not one, I repeat, not one has ever given me a problem. They are excellent for whatever you want to do. I commend Memorex for such excellent product. To bad I can't say the same for the 8x version of these Dvds.

CMC disks are crap - Reviewed on 2004-12-24

I would avoid these discs. I have been using these discs for some time doing backups. Recently, I've had a few problems and decided to look at these further. I noticed another review that said that the discs are made by multiple companies under the Memorex brand as are others like TDK, etc.. I used to DVD info and noticed that my most recent purchase is made by CMC and I'm having problems with some of the discs including burn errors. One disk has strange ring in the die. I have the NEC 1300a burner. I also having some trouble playing backups on the same drive on my computer. Less trouble playing on my Sony DVD player. Just based on this (not a clear indication of what you're getting when you purchase), I would go with something else. These discs are not cheap enough for this reason.
