Summary: A+ burning
Review: Burned over 100 of these, they work great in every player so far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works great!
Review: Burns just fine in my Sony DRU-500A, and works on all my home DVD players. You should check websites like vcdhelp.com to determine if your particular DVD player is compatible with DVD+R, DVD-R, etc.

Summary: Works great with my new BTC 4x dvd+/-rw drives.
Review: The 4x speed works as mentioned and not one single coaster. Just got it last week, ordered late Monday and received it Friday Morning. Wow, great service. I have burned about 10 backups of my dvd movies and did a few complete hard drives backups without getting a coaster. This media is made of high quality materials and it will last for a long time(>100 years). The manufacturer code is "RicohJPN", which means Ricoh Japan. I have read on forums that it even supports 8x speed on some new 8x dvd writer. All my backups played back flawlessly on every dvd player and dvd-rom drive in my home and office. However, there are some dvd players and dvd-rom which you need to re-insert the disc a few times in order for the disc to be recognized and some would display pixelation problems in the middle to the end of the disc. You need to make sure that your dvd players and dvd-rom drives support this type of media(DVD+R). Goto [a website] for a listing of dvd players. Nevertheless, the price is the lowest here and shipping is fast and it is FREE at Amazon. I was so satisfied with my first spindle and I just ordered another one because it is only a $...per disc and it is made by a reputable manufacturer. There are cheaper and generic ones offered by other sites but after you add shipping and handling, they will come close or just off by pennies or a nickle per disc. Do the math and judge by yourself. Amazon is always on top of my list for online shopping needs.

Summary: Memorex Continues To Dominate
Review: These are great DVDs! I've already gone through a 25 pack using them as data discs and for backing up movies and I haven't had a single coaster. I have an NEC 8X DVD burner and I use Nero 6. No problems whatsoever.

I think the reason some people have had trouble with these discs is because they have older dvd-writers. This pack even comes with a little notice saying that if you have a 2.4X burner you're going to need to upgrade your firmware before you can use these. Some people don't read I guess....

Bottomline : These DVD+Rs are solid and if you have a newer DVD burner you got nothing to worry about.

Summary: is it live or is it memorex?
Review: I hope it's live because if it's memorex, it's crap! that's my latest opinion after using this product. I have a LiteOn SOHW-802S and it hates Memorex. I rarely get a decent burn. More often than not I'll discover while watching my movies just how horrid the quality it. My movies will skip, stutter, or stop all together. So disappointing! Unfortunately I found out too late that Memorex uses CMC media, which only has a 0-50% success rate! [...]

Summary: Great Successess with no problems
Review: I just finished a 25 package of the Memorex 4.7GB 4x DVD +R Media and have reordered a 50 pack and 25 pack. All my DVD burns were successful. I am using a Sony DVD drive and have been burning my home video creations at 4x with MYDVD software that came with the drive. I have a Kenwood DVD player downstairs and a Sony DVD player upstairs. It plays on both, plus I have made copies for friends with all positive feedback. I highly recommend these discs.

Summary: The good gone bad
Review: I'm afraid I have to agree with the other previously happy Memorex users in noting that Memorex quality/success rate has gone downhill. I was skeptical when I read the other reviews and I stuck with Memorex, but I have seen the light now. For a year I was very successful with the DVD+R Memorex disks. In the 25 pack spindles I would buy, they would all work....so in Aug '04 I bought 2 25 packs at Circuit City (a mistake?). That appears to have been a waste of money. I just tried to burn a copy of something and I ended up trashing 4 disks in a row. I was convincing myself it was my hardware or program or something else. Then I remembered someone had given me a blank Sony DVD-R disk, so I thought what the heck, let me try that one. Into the SONY drive it went and it copied without a hitch. That was the final straw for my Memorex loyalty. Out of a pack of 25, I have about 10 left, but have had to trash 6 of the 15 I used. Not a good success ratio. Bye Memorex.

Summary: First DVD burn was successful!!!
Review: I just burned my first home video DVD on the Memorex DVD+R disc.
It worked the first time! I have a TDK Burner installed in my Dell computer. The resulting disc works on my wife's Gateway laptop with DVD and also my Pioneer home DVD player.
So far so good...no coasters.

Summary: stay away... recent quality is TERRIBLE
Review: I've previously purchased Memorex media DVD+R and have not had any problems until recently. My latest purchase has given me infinitely more grief and frustration than the initial purchase price... Where do I start, how about the fact that the media is labeled as 4X and only burns at 2.4X (gray spindle)? How about the fact that files and videos have errors causing file corruption and/or video dropouts (stutter or DVD lock-up)?. I thought it was my recorder until I read all the reviews... There has been a HUGE drop in quality recently. If you want to gamble with the recent sub-par quality of the Memorex branded media and "hope" every thing turns out ok by all means make your purchase here. For me, I'm dumping more than 50% remaining on the spindle because the media is completely unreliable and worthless for anything other than coasters.

Summary: VERY sensitive to vibration while burning!!
Review: I made the mistake of getting 50+ of the latest batch of Memorex non-Ricoh DVD+R, and ended up with almost half coasters! Same bad results no matter whether I used an old NEC1100A or a brand-new NEC2510A. Funny thing is it seems to have less problem burning at 4X than 2.4X! Finally I figured out that these disks are EXTREMELY sensitive to physical vibration during burning. Even walking near the PC while disk is burning is enough to cause write defects! Problem is, most writing softwares can't tell whether the writing was bad, unless you explicitly ask to verify the burn afterwards (e.g. in Nero), so even if it says it burned successfully, it may be a bad burn unless you verified it. So whenever I burn a disk now, I have to sit still or walk very softly so as to minimize vibration, and the success rate is better (still not 100%). This is rather ridiculous, so I suggest to get the RiData or some other media which isn't so sensitive to vibration while burning.
