You would think a "name brand" disc will have low failure rates... NOPE... try 50% failure rate. They got $200 from me and never again Memorex!

Well, I was 2 weeks into my burning with my new LiteOn DVD-RW drive when I came across these at my local store. I had been using Maxell DVD-R previous to these without any problems, and these came on a spindle and were a better value.

At first, I couldn't get anything to burn right on these things. My burning software (RecordNow)was having a heck of a time burning them correctly. I was about to give up when I was directed to a firmware update for my DVD drive. Once I flashed the drive, not a single bad disk has been wasted!

The key for me on this media is that if you are backing up your video's, they only work for me if I create an image (.iso) file first and then burn that file. For whatever reason, I can't get any of my DVD players to recognize the disk if I don't do it that way. Not a big deal really, and I wonder if it is more my drives issue rather than the media itself.

Overall, the price is good and I have not had a problem since I updated my firmware. If you do experience problems with them, be sure to check your firmware version first.
