Summary: For shame, Memorex! For shame!
Review: I have been using the Memorex 4x DVD-Rs for a long time, with not one failure on my laptop liteon 4 speed dvd writer.

How totally different with the 8xs! I have had NOTHING but failures with this. I don't know if I got a lemon or what but of the 7 I've burned so far, 7 have been bad.

No, it's not my dvd player, I tried the disks on different players.

No, it's not my burner, I'm burning other 4x dvd-rs just fine that actually work.

Shame on you Memorex! You lost a loyal customer.

Summary: So far so good
Review: I just finished a Fuji 25 8X pack spindle and was 25 for 25. I wanted to give Memorex a try since it cost a little more. Upon closer inspection between a Fuji and Memorex's disks, it looks like they are both made from the same factory. Everything from the top surface (smooth silver) to the rim (silver) is made from the same materials and color. Both of the bottom recording layers are a color purple. Great that Memorex don't use the cheap looking white paper surface similar to their CD-R for this DVD-R model. For about $5 more and a microscope's eyes the quality of Memorex's edge is much smoother then the jagged Fuji.

So far I am 4 for 4 with the 8X Memorex's disc burning at a full 8X. I am using a firewire LaCie's 16x d2 DVD±RW Double Layer (NEC drive) with a Dell laptop to make my own DVD movie and to back up files. I use Roxio and other software and they all burn fine. Yes, I have Sony's CD-R that after 2-years starts to "Pudding" faking of the top surface. Hopefully these Memorex's DVDs will last as long as my TDK's CD-R since are made from similar materials.

Summary: didn't work with Emerson EWR20V4
Review: These didn't work with my new DVD recorder. These may only work with recorders and burners that go at 8X speed. Mine goes at 1X, 2X, or 4X and these Memorex DVD-Rs apparently can't work at 1X, 2X, or 4X speed. I didn't realize that until after I tried these blank DVD-Rs.

Summary: Burns coasters at 8X or fixes wobbly tables
Review: We need a 0 Star rating for this item. The first 3 out of the box had errors after burning. Each failure was immediately rectified by replacing with a 4x memorex, 8x Maxell and a 4X Maxell, so the problem is in the disk itself and not the files or the DVD writer (or the operator).

Like the others say, stay away from these 8X Memorex dvd-Rs unless you need coasters. I recommend the Maxell DVD-Rs at any speed. They are heavier and so far I have had a 100% success rate.
