 Great For Making Copies January 6, 2008
I bought these because I have a Sony Handycam and whenever I make the mini DVD's I can make copies to share with my family. They work great!
 Decent, burns and reads fine. May 11, 2007

These DVD+r's look a little sketchy, I know. I was worried they wouldn't burn or read well but I was wrong. They burn fine. I have a Pioneer DVDRW K-16 drive in my notebook and it burns to these disks with no problem. I use The latest Nero suite also. I can't attest to the shelf life of these disks, obviously, but they don't seem too crappy. I've played them in my dvd player and original xbox and both work. I haven't tried 16X burning becuase my drive doesn't support it so maybe that speed is bad for the disk, but 8X and under seems to be fine. I would recommend these to someone with my hardware setup or similar or someone that feels lucky. the other reviews seem to say that these disks are hit or miss. Well they hit for me so that's all I can say. Great Value though.

I have used other memorex dvd+r in the past with no problems, and for some reason these did not work. I have a Fantom Drives external DVD writer, so if you have one of those then I would shy away from buying these DVDs.

The Memorex DVD+R 16x that I received were Taiwanese made CMC MAG M01. They are not the highest quality by any measure. On NERO quality scan, you get between a score of 40-75 (okay, upper 70s). I bought some ProDisc that scored in the 65-90 (and the 65 was only 1 disk, most in the upper 70 to 80). The Taiyo Yuden 8x was getting me 85-95 range. Too bad that Amazon does not carry (to my knowledge) the better ProDisc or Taiyo Yuden.

Burned several discs and applied full-surface labels. Didn't work in any of 3 players. Have burned a bunch since then w/out labels, and they seem to be OK. But if they're anything like the CDRs from Memorex, the without-label surfaces will chip away within a year and render the DVDs useless.
Anyway, when we buy a spindle of any blank media, we shouldn't have to wonder if the first 5 or 10 are going to be trial runs. I guess I have bought this brand so many times because of the price/quantity relationship at local stores. I'm ready to switch to something more reliable.
