 Be careful of your drive model September 27, 2005

A lot of people don't realize that a particular brand/model of blank dvd must have its configuration programmed into the burner's firmware. This is why, for example, a lot of standalone dvd burners need to use relatively old 4x blanks or you get errors.
Well this is a relatively new 16x brand/model media. I tried it on my NEC 1300A flashed to the latest firmware (tried 1.08 and 1.0C), and not a one of these will work at all. Nero spits them out. Wish I had known ahead of time.
I took advantage of cheap prices and picked up a new NEC 3540A and sure enough, it burns these media at 16x right out of the box, and they play fine on my cheap old Toshiba dvd player.
In other words: this media is new and probably will only work on newer model dvd burners, and recent models flashed to the latest firmware, and many not at all.
This is not to say these won't work in your drive. But it ought to be a very recent model drive, and it might be worth researching first.
 Works great with a PROPER burner November 10, 2005

I have a 16x NEC-3540a. Burns fine at 16x. They should be reliable also considering the 2 year old 4x Memorex DVDRs I have still work perfectly. Though those are 4x, but I'll see. For those with problems, upgrade... to a good burner (Plextor, NEC, etc.) Burners are too cheap now to own anything below a 16x.
so far so good July 2, 2007

fine DVD-R discs with just a note or two about them... October 24, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Memorex makes a very reliable blank DVD-R that can handle up to 4.7 GB of data. Moreover, these blank DVD-Rs are capable of recording data at speeds up to 16x. The data I record onto these lasts for years, proving the test of time. I have used these as data discs, discs to record video and discs to record video. Great!
The DVD-R discs are compact and easy to store. While the discs are still blank, store them in the circular case on the spindle that they came in. After your burn data onto them, I would recommend storing them in slim jewel cases instead of paper sleeves. It's just better protection for your DVD-Rs that have data stored on them. Don't store these discs, burnt or blank, in rooms that become very hot; this causes damage to any brand of this type of disc and you could lose data over time.
There are two caveats that many other people note about any brand of this product: when you are burning the data onto the blank disc, don't be surprised if you see that the data is burning at a rate slower than 16x. This can happen if your burner doesn't have the capacity to burn faster, or it may be a quirk. I am not a professional so I cannot be certain of precisely what causes this phenomenon; but I assure you that the extra minute or two (tops) that you wait to get your DVD-R completed is worth the wait. In addition, DON'T write on these using Sharpie ink pens. The ink can seep through the top coating of the DVD-R disc and slowly but surely compromise your data--and you wouldn't want that, now would you? If you need to label the discs, label its' jewel case using a post-it note. At least that's what I do.
Overall, Memorex blank DVD-R discs store data reliably over the years and I believe that an extra minute to burn the data onto the blank disc is well worth it in the event that it doesn't actually burn at 16x.
Use them in good health!
a home DVD recorder's review December 24, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
i ordered these 2 december '05, and use them with my panasonic DMR-E80H component DVD recorder to burn TV shows i record. my recorder is two years old, and these discs have worked fine in it without upgrading the firmware. i have had good luck with memorex media for this use for as long as i've owned my recorder; each spindle usually has a couple of duds in it, but for the price it's still a good deal.
