Summary: Great buy!
Review: These DVD+RW's work great with our Gateway DVD player. And you can't beat the great low price.

Review: UPDATE!!
In my previous review I told about how these discs had been reliable for me up until my most recent spindle. Amazon sent me a replacement spindle and I've had the same problems, so I did a little research. I found a nice free application called DVD Identifier that scans discs and reports details such as the true manufacturer.
The discs I'd had such good luck with in the past are actually manufactured by Ricoh. The discs I've had such trouble with in the last two spindles are not. They're made by a company called InfoDisc. Googling confirms compatibility issues with InfoDisc and a multitude of burners, including my Lite-On (though my Pioneer and Sony can't write video successfully to them either).

In short, not all discs are created equal, especially rebranded ones. Memorex apparently went for a cheaper manufacturer and thus is now selling inferior discs. I'll be sticking with true Ricoh discs in the future.
--------------------------------------
I'd picked up a spindle of these locally after purchasing a lite-on DVD burner and had good luck making backups of my existing DVD collection, so when I ran out I figured that I'd order some more. Why mess with a good thing?
I set out to continue my backup creation with my new spindle of discs and found that the next four movies I copied, while supposedly burning successfully, could not be played by my DVD player or either of my DVD equipped computers.
To confirm my fears I grabbed one of the already written discs from my previous spindle and used the ripped data that had failed to successfully write to one of the new discs and voila; no problems at all. After a few more frustrating tries I determined that the entire new spindle of discs simply weren't going to properly receive the data, and I've now requested a defective return from Amazon. Could be that I simply got an "off" spindle of discs, as the previous spindle were fine, but the next batch I buy will be local to facilitate easy return if it turns out Memorex has slacked on quality.

Summary: Very Good
Review: Very reliable product. Started to get blocky towards the end of the spindle, the last three actually. Not bad for under $20. Will purchase again.
