Memorex 4x DVD+RW 25-Pack Spindle

Had trouble formatting, copying and or erasing some. I googled the brand after and found I was not alone. Won't buy MEMOREX again!

I have been using these disc to transfer, self recorded VHS video's to DVD. As long as one formats the disc first it plays on all DVD players. I can record 3 to 4 movies on each disc, depending on the length of the movie. Good choice, good price.

I tried five of these things in my GO.VIDEO RECORDER and was luckey to get them out of my machine. These dvd+rw things would not record anything and caused my dvd recorder to squeal loudly and will no longer play pre recorded store bought movies. I threw all of them away. Sony Dvd+Rw is the best and safest for me so far.

I've used about 10 of these discs so far for recording on my DVD-R as well as burning stuff on my laptop and so far all the discs have performed flawlessly. No problem recording or burning as well as viewing it afterwards. Based on my own experience with these discs I see no problem with recommending them.

Although a great bargain, the emulsion on these DVD-RW disks have uneven concentric markings, and a few had vertical flaws missing emulsion, rendering a 40% usefulness. I use 4 different DVD drives, so this isn't a burner problem. I could understand a faster write-speed product (requiring a higher laser output) to have rewrite problems, but for these 4x speed disks, I would recommend another brand (RiDATA disks have held up to 40+ rewrites successfully over several years)

I have used Memorex DVD+RW disks for years, & for those who know they seem to have changed something besides the packaging & appearance of the Disks themselves. The old model " I Presume " had dots on the label side of the disk, performed flawslessly on several Brands of DVD Recorders that I own, but this new, I'm guessing more cheaply produced disk has numerous editing & playback glitches. I bought a spindle of these at Radio Shack, & suffered hours of RE-Recording & editing. I returned to the store & purchased a pre-opened marked down 24 pack of the old style, that I had passed on previously & VIOLA! Not a Hiccup. Now even if I try to order the old style, guess what they send me!

I thought this was a very good product. In fact is still may be but you can decide for yourselves. I have 3 DVD-recorders, two of which are Sony VXD-655's and I can record and playback with no problems whatsoever. I wanted to buy another Sony but they have been discontinued. I then bought a Panasonic DMR EZ-28. For a while the Memorox worked well. After a couple of weeks I recorded several programs on the Sony and tried to play them back on the Panasonic. It didn't work. The Panasonic said nothing had been recorded when trying to playback and would let me record without formatting first (each time I wanted to record). After I formatted it recorded and played on both machines. I brought the Panasonic in for repair (at Best Buy) and after 3 weeks they said there was nothing wrong with the Panasonic and that I should maybe use a higher quality DVD. They suggested Sony brand (which Best Buy didn't carry at the time). I may try Sony, Maxell, or Verbatim.

After using 3 packs (75 disks) primarily for recording movies I started using the dvd's on my PC. So far 1 out of the 75 has a hard error. Dvd movie recordings have built-in redundancy for error recovery. Apparently my pc is not so tolerant. I'll continue to buy them for my movie collection, but be cautious with them for computer use.

I just purchased these and all are coasters. I have had good results with Memorex media before (though not the DVD +RW) but I'll stick to TDK, Sony or Fujifilm in future. Sony makes Sony; not sure who makes the TDK; Fujifilm is Ricoh; and this batch of Memorex seem to have been made by Infodisc - obviously a manufacturer to avoid. Anyone interested in doing their own check can Google DVD identifier.

I have purchased several hundred Memorex DVD+RW discs in the past few years and while I have had an occasional coaster most of the discs worked quite well on the Samsung DVD recorders (two different models) that I have used. My recent order of two 25-disc spindles resulted in my receiving two spindles of Memorex DVD+RWs with a Memorex label that was not the same that has been used on previously received spindles (the label on the spindle was of a different design as was the imprinted design on each disc). The discs looked and felt different. I tried formatting 10 of these discs on both of the DVD recorders and neither of the recorders would work with the DVDs. The DVDs seem to be a completely different manufacture than the discs of the Memorex brand previously putchased. What can I say other than buyer beware. You can assume a certain quality from a brand name and then all of a sudden it is gone.

I bought the Memorex 4x DVD+RW to complement my 2 new Toshiba DVRs I just purchased. It says I can record on them 1,000 times. I have been using it daily and recording on the same disk. So far, no problems and EXCELLENT quality. It is like watching a live broadcast with the bonus of fast forwarding through the commercials.

I do have to remember to Format each time I want to tape over something which you need to get use to after having only VHS.

At times, I have taken the disks out of my new DVR and played them in a much older DVD player. No Problems with the disks. I do finalize the disk in the new DVR before playing back on the older DVD player.

So, Great Product. Yes, I would buy again!

Memorex is my favorite brand of CD/DVD R/RW Disks. These DVD+RW disks are extremely reliable. I've run through 3 packs of these disks and I've NEVER encountered a single burn failure writing to them with my DELL E521 DVD Burner.

I purchased these to replace some that I have been using for 10+ years and finally met their rewritable limit. I never experienced any problem with those (until they wore out) and so far no problems with the new ones.

I used this DVD RW to backup my files. It worked the first few times. But when i was about to use my DVD RW today, it didnt work. I did try the DVD RW on different computers, but none of them allow my DVD RW to work, and they should have been able to allow it to work. so something happened, i assume that it got corrupted for no reason. So All of my backed up files were deleted, and the DVD RW had to be formatted again. Yep, DVD RWs are stupid. i had a few bad experiences involving CD rw's and cd r's. Its such a hassle to use a cd/dvd rw.I totally beleive that i have used the DVD RW appropriately, and i am completely certain that i treated it well, and made sure that it didnt get scratched, or anything like that. I never ruined a cd or dvd before, except for this one time when i broke 3 CD rws in half because i couldnt get them to burn.

I made one big mistake, i didnt use a flash disk. Yep, Flash disks are faster, they work on any computer with usb, they are quiet, they respond quickly, they are portable,they are reliable, and there is no hassle involved with burning, or making compatible. So in these experiences, now i understand that DVD RWs are not good for backups. If you want to make backups, i reccommend flash disks.

Works without a flaw. What else would a person want except a reasonable price? This, too.

So far, the first six out of the spindle do not work. After hours of thinking that my DVD burner on my Imac was messed up, I tried another brand and no problem. These things are junk. Maybe they will work on a PC, but don't buy them for a MAC.

This media is totally useless. I bought 5 of the 50 disc spindles and WELL over half of them failed to burn properly. I actually thought my DVD writers were defective till I tried these discs in another computer and got the same results. I've used Memorex before and had no problems but I'll never buy them again. Save your money, time and nerves and buy a different brand.

I have always regarded Memorex as a company that makes good quality products so when i needed to burn some movies to DVD i purchased 3 packs of these DVD-RW discs (enough to last me a lifetime i thought).I burned the videos to the discs and everything went smooth,not one error,then after i was done i popped them into my DVD player and....Stut stut stuttering video!Every single Memorex DVD-RW that i burned was full of skipping audio,stuttering video and also artifacts appearing on screen every minute or two.My first thought was that my DVD player was busted so i put the discs into my other player,SAME THING!Then i tried burning the movies with my other DVD Burner drive,AGAIN,video and audio was horrible!I even tried burning the videos with different software but no matter what i did the videos came out screwed up and unwatchable.I went through 2 packs of these Memorex DVD-RW discs and every single disc was defective.DO NOT BUY THESE!!!If you want good quality buy some TDK DVD-R discs,i have burned my videos to them and they play 100% perfectly.

I have been using Memorex DVD+RW disks for a few years. Up until this particular version with the little stars on the disks I had good results.

These more recent disks might burn once or twice. After that, forget it!! Burn failures galore.

Use another brand.

I bought a 25 pack of these disks and 6 of them (so far) have fatal errors on the discs. There is nothing so frustrating as to record a show on a disc than to find that the video stops/stutters and then completely freezes so that you can't view the rest of the content. I am going to go to Memorex support and I expect them to make this good with a refund or replacement. I hope they change their manufacturing processes so that their products are reliable or they will NEVER get a return customer and they will be the next business you will see filling chapter 7!

I brought 2 of these and when they were finished I ordered 2 more spindles. I am using a Sony Vaio laptop and in the past I owned a Toshiba laptop also and these burned with no problem. I might have came upon 1 defective disc out of 3 spindle. Quality is very good. I will buy again when I am finish with the ones I have.

I have owned a Memorex DVD player, which fell apart within one year, and I've had numerous problems with Memorex recordable DVDs. Based on my experiences I think the company should have a new advertising slogan;
"Is it crap, or is it Memorex?"

All I want is reliable DVD+RW at a good price and the Memorex has always worked well for me. Amazon's bottom-line price was too good to pass up.

I purchased two 25-packs because of lower prices and free shipment but it was a bad mistake. I had too many coasters from the 1st pack. I am about 50% with the 2nd pack which has been trouble-free so far.

After some research my next purchase will be Verbatim - based on positive customer feedback.

I thought my DVD player would read anything I put in it... and it has so far. Until I put these things in it. "NO DISK" No luck.

So add my name to the list of unhappy customers.

Now I'm stuck with them.

There are some brands I've come to rely on. This is one of them and I am not disappointed with the product.It does as I expected. What more can I say?

I bought these recently, attempted to burn three seperate DVD+RWs and all three came out with burn errors. Either I also got a bad batch, or these DVD+RWs are very poor quality, and likely why they're so cheap.

I have used these 5-6 times without any issues. Work fine and would buy again.

Purchased 2 of the 25 pack for a specific backup of .wmv files running on a call record server. Had some problems with other DVD-RW's but this one works just fine.

The product was poorly packed and tore open. As a result the disks I have tested will not work.

I found these to work with anything I try them on. I've had problems with others... Alls I know is these work!!!

I bought 2 25 pack spindles June '07. I use them for recording broadcast movies on one of several DVD recorders. One spindle was totally fine but the other had a 100% failure rate by the 3rd time any disk was recorded. (Disk unrecordable message or such depending on the recorder I used). I contacted Memorex and they sent me a replacement for the bad spindle. The replacement spindle now is also experiencing a 100% failure rate by the 4th or 5th time a disk is recorded. Instead of error messages the disk usually freezes somewhere near the middle during playback. I contacted Memorex again and they now refuse to make good on the bad replacements. Long story short.... buy Sony, Fuji or any good Japanese brand. I haven't had any trouble with Imation but I hear that they are now part of Memorex so I plan to avoid those in the future as well.

I got these rewritable DVDs in order to watch TV shows recorded on my computer. I'm new to the whole DVR realm and don't have everything connected in my house in order to send TV recordings from my computer to my preferred TV. Even though write-once blank DVDs are quite cheap, I couldn't bring myself to creating that much waste (I am not into "collecting" shows). These rewritable DVDs are perfect for watching a show once and then reusing them. Even better is removing the commercials on the computer before copying them to the DVD (DVRMSToolbox is clumsy for this, but I eventually got it to work). Commercial-free TV is the best!

I was checking out the memory disks and found this one, was so glad it was the price I could afford and shipping was the best . Am glad Amazon has such an easy and uncomplicated shopping routine. Thank you. Joyce Hess/ TX

I bought these DVDs to store many of my own personal movies. The DVDs work as intended. I have yet to have a single one fail on me, but often one or two of the files becomes corrupted in the burn process. The thing that aggravates me most is that you only get 4.5 instead of 4.7 Gigabytes of actual space, and I often have to leave one file out a total set and put it onto a different DVD. Other than that, great product.

I have used Memorex DVD+RW disks before (purchased in a 10 pack) and they were reliable. However, this 25 pack has given me many problems; they have many write errors and won't erase correctly. Few, if any, are working as expected and thus I can't trust them for any backup work. MS Windows Live One Care won't accept them at all. I noticed that the disk id is different for these (different manufacturer) than the 10 packs I purchased several years ago.

I have almost used 15 of the 25 DVDs and didnt get any problem but only thing is that it is very slow. It took me a very long time to take backup of my data to these DVDs. My stuff was done without any problem though.

The product is good. However, the "what's in the box" category told me that there will be a two piece case which never arrived. Shipping was prompt but only the product was delivered and not everything that the description promised.

Was a bit worried as the price was really low at 8.95 per 25 but have had no lost data and have used 50 of the 75 discs purchased. Very satisfied as well with the prompt shipping. Easy 5 stars in my book.

i have bought alot of dvds disk from you and this 24 packwas allbad and the worst i ever got.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to everyone who wants to burn anything onto DVD's. These are excellent. They burn and read without any problems, even months and years later, unlike typical write once discs. So, whether your backing up your computer, or burning a copy of a movie, these are the way to go. Seriously, if your DVD player doesn't support +RW's, go buy a modern DVD player and use these. That way you'll never have to go through the pain and problems of write-once DVD's. :)

I could not believe the amount of data I could store ona 4.7GB dvd vers. a 700MB CD. It's like running almost 7 CD's at once. All my photo's, some 2500 of them I stored on ! DVD!!! get them ASAP and used them,they are unbeliveable!!!!!

These are working great on my Panasonic DVD recorder so far. I have recorded about 30 plus hours on about 5 of these so far, including copying some VHS tapes to DVD and had no problems whatsoever. Too soon to tell how long they will last or how many times I can erase and re-record.

I am sure that these are great discs. I'm sure they will work with my PC. I bought them to use on a combo VCR DVD Recorder, and they wouldn't work. It requires a certain series of discs and I bought the wrong kind. My error for not doing my homework.

I ordered a 25 pack of these DVD+RWs and there seems to be a bad sector or something about 2/3 of the way through the DVD. I have tried to burn several different disks (including full erasing and reburning some of them multiple times), and any data past about the 3 GB mark (out of 4.7 GB) is corrupted and cannot be read. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed about this. The first 3 gigs works fine though...

I assumed these DVD's would get longer recording time but they crapped out on me when i needed them most. A few of the DVD's were ruined and unusuable. The price was great and they will work fine for recording a sitcom or some funny snl skit (if there ever is one again) but i would not use them to record anything of length. They are very unreliable as they get near the max recording time. I would choose another DVD for your important recording.

Great package size to use for multiple copied movies and videos. Would highly reccommend this product

A very disappointing buy, these disks have cyclical redundancy error while playing on DVD players and DVD ROM. Caveat emptor!

The second disc in this package was faulty, which I did not discover until I spent two hours recording a movie. There was what appeared to be a half inch bare spot on the outer edge of the dvd+r. Not what I expected from Memorex which purports to be the best.
I have switched to Maxell.

I have had excellent results transferring my VHS Tapes(movies, etc.)to Memorex DVD+R/RW discs. I have a Philips DVDR985 DVD Recorder/Player and it will only record on DVD+R/RW discs. I have been through several other manufacturers +R/RW discs and none were as reliable as Memorex(and, of course Philips). I ran into a problem recording on the +R disc, however, that was due to a problem with the Recorder. I just bought another 50 DVD+RW Memorex discs(2-25 disc spindles) and when they run out I will still go for Memorex.
