Rating: Summary: CRAP Review: DO NOT BUY THESE! I JUST LOST $100 ON THESE COASTERS. I HAD NO PROBLEMS DURING THE BURN BUT THEY WONT PLAY. I TRIED THREE DIFFERENT READERS AND TWO DVD PLAYERS. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!
Rating: Summary: Defective Item Review: Just bought Media assuming that Memorex DVD-R Media would work because the silver top model worked. Tried to archive a DVD Movie 5 times. Archived DVD plays until it can't be read halfway through the movie. Don't buy this item!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Very high fail rate Review: I have a Plextor PX-708UF and it works great. These discs have a failure rate of about 75% compared to almost 0 for Memorex non-printables. This is a bad product... buy at your own risk.
Rating: Summary: Not Good For MEDIA USE or PRICE Review: Purchased This product thinking same as silver top , I dont know but this does not truely give you data return , you can store data in media format using pc or mac version used multiple burn speeds and software programs upon playing a media file it would either not load or it would become choppy and freezes not worth the price out of 100 dvd burned I have 23 disc left all 67 disc are a waste . do not buy this dvd-r printable format trust me .
Rating: Summary: Terrible Review: I returned these DVDs to Memorex after burning a few and finding out that they just didn't work. I have a TDK burner and tried them on a friend's burner (Cendyne or something) with the same results. I had tried to use them to back up files, but after indicating a success, I couldn't copy the files back from the DVD. I always got a CRC Checksum error.My experience with Memorex is ruined. Will never buy anything from them again, no matter how good the deal.
Rating: Summary: Does not burn with Pioneer 105 with firmware 1.33 Review: I loved the price--I use the silver top 4x memorex discs which have the same manufacture code as the printable dvd discs; however, much like the reviewer with the pioneer dvr 106 drive, my discs indicate a successful burn but do not play all the way through and the purple surface looks blurry and smeared. I have tried burning these discs at 1x but I have the same results. If these were identical in reliability to the non-printable silver tops, I would be giving 5 stars no problem. Had I read the review from the Pioneer 106 user, I would not have purchased the discs. If these discs work in your machine--great. At half price and no shipping this is a great value. I hate to bring down the rating but if I can save someone hours of heartache--its worth it.
Rating: Summary: Some work, some don't, wonder why? Review: I have been using Memorex media for years, and this is the first media that I have had a slight problem with. I don't know if it is the recording part or the printing part that is causing some of my discs not to work. I have a dual burner and it does the +R printable with no problems, but the -R seems to have problems when it plays about half the movie. It starts to freeze up and do strange things. I talked to a friend and he said I probably just have a bad batch. I am going to order replacements and see if the problem is still there. Has anyone else had a problem before they printed the discs with the playback. On some of my disc it works fine before I print it, and not after I print it on my Epson 900 printer? It's kinda expensive and time consuming to sort this out, but atleast the discs are covered under warranty. The ones that do work, work great. But it takes so much time to find out the ones that don't.
Rating: Summary: Memorex are "seen" differently-apparantly Review: I had similar problems- would work on shorter projects, but on longer ones (near the end of the disk) BIG problems! After about 25 ruined disks, (and contacting Pioneer), I found that if I changed the burning speed to the burner rate (in my case, 2x, instead of "auto"), the problems went away. Seems like the info that the burner "sees" to determine isn't so accurate at the end of the disk-- no sure, but since I have burned over 150 without problems. I'm now ordering more.
Rating: Summary: Not the same as the non-printable ones - stay away Review: These DVD-R's pull up errors every time I test them with DVdInfoPro. This is not the case with the Memorex 4x non-printable's - they test fine. I've used the same methods for both types of media. This is just an inferior product. Steer clear...wish I did.
Rating: Summary: If it doesn't play...it's gotta be on a Memorex DVD-R Review: Just received the product and already made two coasters with my first two attemps to back-up a movie. Back-up movie plays fine until it reaches the end. Backed-up the same movie on a cheap generic dvd-r and it played just fine. If Memorex is going to advertise 4.7 GB, it should at least be able to handle 4.4 GB without any problems. I wonder how well they honor their warranty.
Emailed Memorex. They instructed me to send back the defective product for replacement.
