Please Don't Waste Your Money - Review written on April 11, 2008

Rating: 2 out of 5

I purchased two 25-packs because of lower prices and free shipment but it was a bad mistake. I had too many coasters from the 1st pack. I am about 50% with the 2nd pack which has been trouble-free so far.

After some research my next purchase will be Verbatim - based on positive customer feedback.

I thought my DVD player would read anything I put in it... and it has so far. Until I put these things in it. "NO DISK" No luck.

So add my name to the list of unhappy customers.

Now I'm stuck with them.

I bought these recently, attempted to burn three seperate DVD+RWs and all three came out with burn errors. Either I also got a bad batch, or these DVD+RWs are very poor quality, and likely why they're so cheap.

Purchased 2 of the 25 pack for a specific backup of .wmv files running on a call record server. Had some problems with other DVD-RW's but this one works just fine.

Bad Spindle AND Replacement Spindle Bad - Review written on November 03, 2007

Rating: 1 out of 5
1 customer found this review helpful, 1 did not.

I bought 2 25 pack spindles June '07. I use them for recording broadcast movies on one of several DVD recorders. One spindle was totally fine but the other had a 100% failure rate by the 3rd time any disk was recorded. (Disk unrecordable message or such depending on the recorder I used). I contacted Memorex and they sent me a replacement for the bad spindle. The replacement spindle now is also experiencing a 100% failure rate by the 4th or 5th time a disk is recorded. Instead of error messages the disk usually freezes somewhere near the middle during playback. I contacted Memorex again and they now refuse to make good on the bad replacements. Long story short.... buy Sony, Fuji or any good Japanese brand. I haven't had any trouble with Imation but I hear that they are now part of Memorex so I plan to avoid those in the future as well.
Great for my Windows Media Center recordings! - Review written on November 01, 2007

I got these rewritable DVDs in order to watch TV shows recorded on my computer. I'm new to the whole DVR realm and don't have everything connected in my house in order to send TV recordings from my computer to my preferred TV. Even though write-once blank DVDs are quite cheap, I couldn't bring myself to creating that much waste (I am not into "collecting" shows). These rewritable DVDs are perfect for watching a show once and then reusing them. Even better is removing the commercials on the computer before copying them to the DVD (DVRMSToolbox is clumsy for this, but I eventually got it to work). Commercial-free TV is the best!

As Expected - Review written on July 27, 2007

Rating: 4 out of 5

I bought these DVDs to store many of my own personal movies. The DVDs work as intended. I have yet to have a single one fail on me, but often one or two of the files becomes corrupted in the burn process. The thing that aggravates me most is that you only get 4.5 instead of 4.7 Gigabytes of actual space, and I often have to leave one file out a total set and put it onto a different DVD. Other than that, great product.

I have used Memorex DVD+RW disks before (purchased in a 10 pack) and they were reliable. However, this 25 pack has given me many problems; they have many write errors and won't erase correctly. Few, if any, are working as expected and thus I can't trust them for any backup work. MS Windows Live One Care won't accept them at all. I noticed that the disk id is different for these (different manufacturer) than the 10 packs I purchased several years ago.

I have almost used 15 of the 25 DVDs and didnt get any problem but only thing is that it is very slow. It took me a very long time to take backup of my data to these DVDs. My stuff was done without any problem though.

The product is good. However, the "what's in the box" category told me that there will be a two piece case which never arrived. Shipping was prompt but only the product was delivered and not everything that the description promised.

Was a bit worried as the price was really low at 8.95 per 25 but have had no lost data and have used 50 of the 75 discs purchased. Very satisfied as well with the prompt shipping. Easy 5 stars in my book.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to everyone who wants to burn anything onto DVD's. These are excellent. They burn and read without any problems, even months and years later, unlike typical write once discs. So, whether your backing up your computer, or burning a copy of a movie, these are the way to go. Seriously, if your DVD player doesn't support +RW's, go buy a modern DVD player and use these. That way you'll never have to go through the pain and problems of write-once DVD's. :)

These are working great on my Panasonic DVD recorder so far. I have recorded about 30 plus hours on about 5 of these so far, including copying some VHS tapes to DVD and had no problems whatsoever. Too soon to tell how long they will last or how many times I can erase and re-record.

I am sure that these are great discs. I'm sure they will work with my PC. I bought them to use on a combo VCR DVD Recorder, and they wouldn't work. It requires a certain series of discs and I bought the wrong kind. My error for not doing my homework.

I ordered a 25 pack of these DVD+RWs and there seems to be a bad sector or something about 2/3 of the way through the DVD. I have tried to burn several different disks (including full erasing and reburning some of them multiple times), and any data past about the 3 GB mark (out of 4.7 GB) is corrupted and cannot be read. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed about this. The first 3 gigs works fine though...

I assumed these DVD's would get longer recording time but they crapped out on me when i needed them most. A few of the DVD's were ruined and unusuable. The price was great and they will work fine for recording a sitcom or some funny snl skit (if there ever is one again) but i would not use them to record anything of length. They are very unreliable as they get near the max recording time. I would choose another DVD for your important recording.

The second disc in this package was faulty, which I did not discover until I spent two hours recording a movie. There was what appeared to be a half inch bare spot on the outer edge of the dvd+r. Not what I expected from Memorex which purports to be the best.
I have switched to Maxell.

I have had excellent results transferring my VHS Tapes(movies, etc.)to Memorex DVD+R/RW discs. I have a Philips DVDR985 DVD Recorder/Player and it will only record on DVD+R/RW discs. I have been through several other manufacturers +R/RW discs and none were as reliable as Memorex(and, of course Philips). I ran into a problem recording on the +R disc, however, that was due to a problem with the Recorder. I just bought another 50 DVD+RW Memorex discs(2-25 disc spindles) and when they run out I will still go for Memorex.

Of all the DVD disks I've used this summer, Memorex came second to Sony, but at half the price. I use Memorex now because the quality of the recording is very good and the disks are very reliable.

Very unreliable .......... I have used DVD RW and CD RW Memorex disks on multiple computers and DVD recorders. I find that they.....1) don't last....get about 50 re-recordings NOT 1500 2) may crap out on any occasion.......multiple CD RW's with critical material would NOT read on multiple computers.

AVOID MEMOREX DVD RW & CD RW DISKS!!

The item does what it should do as advertized. The media code is somewhat few medias use nowadays, and it works fine with all my burners (I used it on Lite-on, TSS, and NEC). No coasters so far (I only burned 5)

I bought this same brand of discs sometime last year on this very site. I was very pleased with the purchase then. I didn't have one problem with the discs.

I bought another pack recently and I've been using the pack I just bought. All of the discs are messing up for me. I can understand having a few problematic discs but this is insane to have a whole pack of discs and every single one of them messes up for you. I wish I could send these discs back and get a refund. This purchase has scared me away from anything else related to Memorex. I thought Memorex was a very reliable brand and they would make sure they were sending out top notch items to consumers. I guess I was wrong. And apparently you get what you pay for. Don't be fooled by the good price. You'll just be out of your money and stuck with discs that wouldn't even be worth using as a frisbee. Find another brand to use and avoid this brand.
