My experience is that the quality of this Memorex +RW media varies. I have perhaps burned about 80 of these and about 1-2 in every ten runs into problems. In some cases I was able to use problem DVD:s if I set the burning to ca 4.5 instead of the default 4.7 but sometimes the media could not be used at all.

I use a NEC ND-1300A and I guess the Plextor mentioned is better so it is probable that with a better burner you may fair better (But the NEC is NOT considered to be a low quality burner!).

In the same time I have also burned about 80 TDK media and not run into any problems at all. Not one single problem with the TDK media.
This is my personal experience. A good place with information from others can be found at http://www.videohelp.com/

Burned movies at 4x in Plextor PX712A (firmware ver. 1.03)without any problems. A good choice if you are starting out with a new DVD authoring tool - lets you start all over if the main menu and video editing results aren't what you wanted. Otherwise save more with spindle packaging and go with DVD+/-Rs.

What can one say about DVD-RWs, other than that they do their job. Store media. I haven't had a problem with their burn speed, reliability, or price, and for that I approve of this product.

I have bought these discs for my DVD recorder, and I've encountered that it fails quite a few times with these discs. I called a technical support agent and he said that their recorders aren't the only ones with trouble with these Memorex discs. Several other recorders from other companies had trouble with these discs. I have heard, however, that when run on a computer, they have no problems at all. So, if you're using them for a computer, by all means, use them. But if you're using a DVD Recorder, do not, I repeat, DO NOT use them (although they do not fail ALL the time). Thank you for listening.

Be careful.. Do not buy any product from the seller... it's really cheap. But they are sending different item not the one originally posted. This time I got 5pk not 10pk. Be aware. I have sent an email to the seller.. but, they are not responding to it.

Hello,

As of July 6, 2004, these were the RICOHJPN-W11 DVD+RWs (Note that almost all distributors of DVD and CD recordable blanks, such as Memorex, can and do change their suppliers at any time, so there are no guarantees as to which factory your disks will come from.)

The RICOHJPN-W11 DVD+RWs are high quality media that work well in the NEC ND-2500A burner, and many others as well. You can check whether they are a good choice for your burner by going to cdfreaks dot com or other similar cd/dvd enthusiast sites.
