Rating: Summary: don't buy these- they're worthless! Review: I've tried to burn these in my Sony DRX-510UL, and they're just awful! They never burn at 4X, and only occasionally burn properly at 2X or 1X. Even when I am actually able to burn a disc, half the time it won't play all the way through on my DVD player! 75% of my discs are coasters. Sony and TDK discs almost always burn perfectly for me, but I'll never buy Memorex again!
Rating: Summary: These are not worth your time or money! Review: Also getting watermarks, especially if there is *any* minor dust on the surface when burning. Using a TDK Indi 440n with the latest firmware and still getting read errors on the 10 or so discs that I've tried. Getting read errors on 2 PC dvd rom drives and skipping on my Sony DVD player. Avoid these at all costs!
Rating: Summary: Great coasters Review: $100 for a product that 66% of the time does not complete writing the data. I got about 30 good copies out of 100 discs
Rating: Summary: Did not work with my new Panasonic burner Review: I have used many Memorex disks with good results. However this type would not work on my new Panasonic DVD burner. I sent them back.
Rating: Summary: Works great after Firmware Update - TDK Indi Review: Although I did not have a Pioneer DVD burner, I had disk write errors using my TDK indi 440 burner until I downloaded the latest firmware udate for my burner. Burned 5 DVD's since, and have had no problem. For a buck a DVD, this is a great deal.
Rating: Summary: 100% failure rate Review: I have a Pioneer A06 (DVR-106D), I normally dont have any problem burning DVD-R's. The spindle of Memorex DVD-R Printable discs simply do not work (at least with the Pioneer A06). I went through 25 of the DVD's and had the same watermarking problem mentioned in other reviews here. I had a 100% failure rate on these DVD's. The video would freeze ½ way through the movies and the menus didn't work. I am working on getting Memorex to replace them with the non printable surface DVD's. Stay away from these if you have Pioneer DVD burner. Try the TDK 2x DVD-R's... they backup video beautifully!
Rating: Summary: Works Great and Gotta Love the Price! Review: I just bought a Pioneer DVR-57H (TiVo w/ DVD burner), only to discover that it takes DVD-R, not +R. (With $200 of new, unneeded +R discs on hand, I now know the difference). Bought a 100 spindle of the Memorex -R's, and have burned a dozen discs with no problems. The problems these other users have encountered are not Memorex's fault. With new technology, you've got to research before you buy.
Rating: Summary: DVD-R Printable Write Error w/Sony DVD Burner Review: I have a DW-U10A & DRU-510A Sony Burner. I get write errors with both of them...firmware has been upgraded. Changed DMA settings, errors went away but DVD is still not playable. I've made about a dozen coasters and have contacted Memorex for replacement. I do not have any problems burning regular Memorex DVD-R or DVD+R...just the printables ones.I had to give it 1 stars because 0 starts is not available.
Rating: Summary: The Best Price and Works Perfect! Review: I could not pass up on this price for the Memorex DVD-R 100 pack. The discs work perfect, even on my Pioneer DVR Drive. I took Memorex's advice (which is stated on top of the spindle) and updated my firmware. So far I have NOT had one disc fail and I have already burned 40 DVD's. You can't beat the price and the Memorex brand.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Value once firmware is updated........ Review: Once I updated my firmware on my 1x Pioneer DVD drive, there were zero problems. Important note on the spindle states "Attn: Firmware update needed in DVD-R/RW drive is 1X or 2X " I've burned 35 discs so far and not one has failed. Memorex has it right!
