I HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH THESE DISKS, i'm being completely honest, they burn fine and everything seems to be working but then when you try to play the disks in dvd player or use them later on they SKIP AND FREEZE CONSTANTLY!! I have no idea how many of the disks were defective in my stack of 100 probably all of them, but I spent weeks worth of my time burning dvd's and all that time is WASTED, belive me this is the first complaint i've ever wrote about a product, such a waste of my time, i don't even care about getting a refund

I bought 50 DVD spindle. Used them all with no problem. Once tried to see the movies they all started freezing 1/2 way. I called my friend and he had the same problem. It looks like I have to turn off the DVD player for about 15 minutes and wait for the DVD temperature to cool down. The normal heat generated from the DVD player is affecting the DVD disks. Once I do that, it works fine. Unfortunately I already bought another 100 spindle from Best Buy, but these were worse, I recorded with no problem but it froze all together once tried to watch the movie. I tried 5 disks with same result. I returned them with full refund. I used generic DVD from Staples and worked great. I transfered some DVD's and they worked fine. I'm using Philips now on NEC DVD burner and they worked great. After doing some research and reading some reviews on chat lines I found that a lot of people having the same problem. One person said that Memorex use the cheapest die for thier DVD's. Please be aware, they might burn fine but when you need to retrieve the data is were you'll have the problem.

If you own Benq 1620 or NEC 3500 burner, then you should have no problem with this. I would prefer those made by Prodisc (prodisc R03) or Ritek (ricohjpnr02). Anyway, it is not worth 60 bucks for 100, maybe under 40 bucks is good deal. You can get other better brands on sales 100 disc for 40 bucks.

I bought these very same DVDs a few months ago and they worked great. I could get them to play on all of the DVDs players in my home (even my Sony Playstation 2) without a problem. Now not only will they not play in my PS2, playback on the other DVD players is glitchy, sometimes skipping entire sections of the movie and other times going back a few chapters. The only place I could get them to playback without a problem was my computer. What's going on here Memorex? I should note that although every indication on the spindle packaging indicates that these are the same DVDs I ordered before the recording side is darker and even the label side is different. My advice? Go with a different (name) brand.

About 75 burned w/ no problems. 8X burns using Memorex DVD burner and Nero 6.0... smooth sailing. Just ordered a second stack of 100.

i have used over 400 discs of this brand. this is the best brand to buy. yes, you do occasionally find a bad disk or 2, but over all i still say these are the best. i also like the printable version of the discs.

I don't know why others are having so many problems with these. I've gone through 50 of them already with my NEC 3250 burner, and they burn flawlessly.

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

In October I ordered 400 more (4 - 100 disk Spindles. 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!

I went and bought these dvds and a burner that was 16x,and + - formats at BestBuy. I went throught the Whole stack and they burned fine untill it got halfway throught the disk, and then they would error every time. I bought a single disk of another brand and they burned just fine. These disks are Complete Crap!!!! I took all the "Coasters" back to BestBuy and they let me to exchange them. I bough TDK this media works great.

MEMOREX SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on my third spindle of the Memorex 8x dvd+r. The first was a 25pk, second a 15pk and now I have a new 100pk spindle. So far only one coaster. I see a lot of reviewers mentioning the type of burner their using, I don't know if it matters but mine is an NEC 3450A that came with my Dell Dim. 2400. The discs play on my Sony dvd player with minimal read errors. I don't know if the errors I do expereience are from the discs or the player since it is almost 8 years old.

I probably wouldn't recommend these for professional use but for every day home movies, clips & data they should be fine. I'm new to dvd burning and these are the only ones I've used so far. When this spindle is finished I'll try some other brnads to get a feel for what works best. I guess that's the only way to tell.
