4.0 out of 5 stars These discs are very good., December 4, 2003

This review is from: Memorex 4.7GB DVD-RW Media (5-Pack) (Electronics)

Another reivewer complained bitterly about these discs, but the problem seemed to be that the person was using DVD-RW disks. Although it's an odd complaint for a review of DVD+RW discs, it points out that you need to be aware of the proper format. I can't claim to know all the ins and outs of formatting issues, but I do know that if your DVD recorder takes +R/+RW discs, you shouldn't use -R/-RW discs, and vice versa.

In terms of their rewriteability, I used one disc to record two hours of music videos (SP mode) every night for several months. After about 150-200 recordings I started to notice poorer quality, but only in the SP mode. It still seemed fine in HQ mode (i.e., one hour per disc).

My only problem with these discs is that they are a bit pricey. On the other hand, I've had consistently good quality from the several dozen that I've purchased.

UPDATE: This review was originally for DVD+RW discs, but the picture and "review from" line suggests it was for DVD-RW discs. Also, after a couple of years I still use Memorex DVD+RW discs for everyday recording--and they are much cheaper these days!

4.0 out of 5 stars Memorex stands behind their products., December 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Memorex 4.7GB DVD-RW Media (5-Pack) (Electronics)

I purchased 2 packs of this product. Some of the DVDs contained in the package were defective however Memorex did stand behind their product and replaced them for me. I doubt other less known companies would stand behind their product like Memorex did. I will purchase more products from them in the future because of this.

I've bought these five Memorex dvd-rw on Amazon. All five of them are very good so far. To write and rewrite and rewrite on 3 disks and they are all good. I've used them with new Sharp 300U Dvd-recorder with 80GB HDD.
