Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This 50-pack of 4x DVD+R discs for newer DVD+R/+RW drives consists of write-once, single-sided discs that store up to 4.7 GB of data and approximately 120 minutes of DVD quality video--that's more than six times as much data as will fit on a recordable CD. You can transfer your home movies from VHS or 8mm cassettes, back-up computer hard drives and large files, or stuff them chock full of MP3 music files and JPEG image files from your digital camera.
The discs are backward-compatible with older, 2.4x DVD recorder drives through the use of a simple firmware upgrade for the drive in question, which you can downloaded at www.dvdrwservices.com. A one-year warranty protects you against defects in the near term, while the discs' rated archival life of 70 to 100 years means you can rest easy about the future of your data.
Special Note: If you currently own a 2.4x DVD+RW/+R Drive you must upgrade your firmware. 2.4x Write Speed DVD+RW/+R Drives sold by Memorex, Phillips, H/P, Verbatim, Sony and QPS require a drive firmware upgrade. Memorex 4x media is compliant with the new 4x write speed standards. Using the Memorex 4x Write Speed media with a 2.4x write speed DVD+RW/+R drive that has not had a firmware upgrade to support the new 4x write speed standards may result in writing errors, data retrievable failure and damage to the data on this disc. Please make sure to confirm whether your drive supports the new 4x write speed media before use.

Great media for a great price!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Memorex 4.7GB 4x DVD+R 4.7GB (50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)
Half of the spindle is gone but not one coaster! I have a progressive Panasonic DVD player, bought in 2000, that plays them flawlessly. Eventhough they're rated at 4x, these babies burn at 8x on my 8x Teac DVD+R/RW burner with no problems. I've backed up my kids DVDs and all of them plays like the original... I also transfered most of our home videos to DVD format using these discs and so far, 3 out of 4 DVD players in the house plays them. The only exception is our very first DVD player that was bought in 1998 or 1999 (if I'm not mistaken - and yes it costed us more than $600!). I'm not blaming this on the media as this DVD player (another Panasonic) was one of the first-wave DVD players to ever first hit the consumer market...With me saying this, it is important to remember that some media are more compatible with certain units/burners compared to others. This holds true with CDRW burners and it's not any different here. You also have to remember that if you have a DVD burner that is rated at 2x, you may need to upgrade your firmware in able to burn onto 4x media reliably. And also, don't forget that some older stand alone DVD players may have compatability problems with these disc and not play them at all. In the end, my advice would be to buy a 2-pack of DVD media and try them out first. Yes, they're expensive but they will serve your wallet better in the end. If they work, then it'll be ok to proceed onto buying spindles. And if they don't, then at least you won't be banging your head on the wall for buying 50 pieces of useless junk... err I mean coasters!

4.0 out of 5 stars
writes flawlessly at 8x with Plextor 708A,
By A Customer
This review is from: Memorex 4.7GB 4x DVD+R 4.7GB (50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)
I'm usually leery of CMC media but I was pleasantly surprised. How do I know it's a flawless write? I created a CRC for each file before write and compared it to the CRC I created for each file on the written CD. The files were identical. I've done this dozens of times and am satisfied with the quality of the 8x burn.HOWEVER .... (my) Xbox doesn't like Memorex DVD+R at any speed. With mememorex it will only read DVD-R media. It reads other DVD+R media without issue. 4 stars because this is a lower spec media. "Is it real quality or is it memorex" google: CDCheck

Worked well for me after downloading new firmware,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Memorex 4.7GB 4x DVD+R 4.7GB (50-Pack Spindle) (Electronics)
I first tried these blank DVDs and they did not work for me and I was very frustrated. There was clear labeling on the package that new firmware was needed for many DVD writers to work with these discs. However, my DVD writer was a variation of what was listed. So I tried about 10 discs and only 1 worked. Tonight I downloaded the firmware for a variation of my HP drive and all works fine.
Bottom line - expect to download the firmware and these will work great.
