Hi, My DVD burner, an 8X external dual format DVD burner (NEC), burns these 4X Memorex DVD+R's at 6X speed, despite the fact that it says 4X on them. The setting of my burner is "maximum Speed" by default and the software I use is Nero Burning Rom 6. I never lost a single DVD+R beacuse of any burning problems. I'm very happy with the quality and the speed of these DVD+Rs.

At $99 for a 100 spindle it may not be the best price BUT get this; They burn at 8x flawlessly for me using a generic 8X dvd burner meaning that it will work with plextor, optorite, kypermedia, lite on, and most others at 8x, they are amazing for printing on with my epson r300, with no smudging.

They are identified as RICOHJPNR01, which as you know is as good as it gets.

Instead of buying something cheap, with only a 2 year archival life, I would rather spend the extra 10-20 bucks to get a FAR superior product such as this.

I used to buy memorex for a couple of years and then I found that some of my disks were currupt, and Then I bought a Plextor Burner and I tried to use Memorex CD in it and It would just choke on it, and I called up Plextor about the problem because I also just bought a 50pack of Memorex DVD-R disks and they would not work in the burner. Plextor told me that Memorex lets air get into the ink so it causes the disks to get pitted. Plextor Recommends Verbatim,TDK,Maxell,Fujifilm, and Sony. I recommend that you spend a couple of extra dollars and and get Verbatim media.

Works without problems using NEC 1100A drive.

I bought 200 of these (2 - 100 disk Spindles) in June of 2004. The printable surface was paper. They were GREAT! I had 4 bad burns and the rest were flawless.

In October I ordered 400 more (4 - 100 disk Spindles. The printable surface was white paint. Apparently, Memorex went to a different manufacturer for the new disks. THESE NEW DISKS ARE AWFUL. I HAVE THROWN AWAY ALMOST ALL OF THEM. I ESTIMATE MY SUCCESS RATE IS LESS THAN 5 OUT OF 100!!!

I am outraged by this and feel ripped off. I will never buy them again. I can't take a chance ordering Disks from Amazon because I cant return them once I open the Spindle. THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS WASTED!

[...] The DVD's sent out are generic, garbage DVD's. Seller advertises them as Memorex and sends out cheap generics which don't even work in DVD players. I have reported this seller to the FCC and you should too! Do not waste your money. Huge scam!

It is illegal to falsely advertise your merchandise to make a quick up. You can answer to the Fraud committee now.

Have used Memorex DVD+R 4x non-printable disc for DVD backup with no problems for months using a Plextor 712A. I then started using the Memorex printables with the print surface ending before the center hole. Now comes these printables with the surface covering the entire top surface, all the way to the center hole. I`ve had a 100% failure rate using these junkers (10 for 10 out of 100 pack). Avoid at all costs!!. I am changing to a different manufacturer. No more printables for me.

I have recorded over 200 DVD+R using several different brands and have only had 2 failures. I thought I'd try the memorex because they are inexpensive and what a mistake. I have had a 30% failure rate. I thought it was my burner so I bought a new Sony and the results are the same. The disks seem to work fine as long as the finished DVD is under 3.8 Gb. I can record a movie and it will play fine until the last few minutes of the movie, then it locks up the player. I definately won't use these for any important data as they are hit or miss. I'll spend a few cents more next time and get a DVD+r that works.

I burned 700 Memorex DVDs with less than 1% failures before getting a pack of these. At first I thought I was having a 50% failure rate with disks that were not finalizing. I checked out my drive and software first before trying different media. New media burned fine and I subsequently determined that even the disks that I initally thought were fine would quit playing half way through. I still recommend Memorex but not these with printable surfaces.

Like a previous reviewer, these disks are garbage. Here I sit with these worthless disks. Unfortunately I did not see his review until after I had ordered the disks. They will not burn video without error. The only thing good about the disks are that they have a superior printing surface, but without a superior burning surface they are worthless. I will go back to Verbatim in which 100% burned properly. I do NOT recommend the Mrmorex disks at all!
