1.0 out of 5 stars Protection without convenience, January 25, 2003

As with CliffBreining (see other review), I found that my Panasonic DMR-HS2 wouldn't recognize or format these cartridges right out of the packaging. The Memorex packaging claims that the internal DVD-RAM disk is removable, but gives no instructions anywhere on how to do so. ...(1) Orient the cartridge printed-side up, text right side up.
(2) Using an ice pick or equivalent, punch out the round plastic plug above and to the left of the write-protect switch.
(3) Stick the blade of a tiny, flat-blade screwdriver into the little notch on the left edge of the cartridge (directly in line with the hole you just knocked the plug out of) and push in.
(4) The bottom edge of the cartridge will now swing open (hinged on the right). Remove the disk inside carefully, not touching the bottom side of the disk. Insert the disk (sans cartridge) in your DVD recorder and format.
(5) Re-insert the disk in the cartridge and close the bottom side until it clicks shut.

Even with that, of the two DVD-RAM cartridges I bought, one was still unformattable due to scratches on the recording side (which were there in spite of my very careful removal of the disk). I cannot recommend these for any DVD recorders that cannot format them in the cartridge.

I bought my Memorex DVD-RAM for recording daily TV shows. It worked in my Panasonic recorder right from the package-no formatting neccessary. I like the cartridge feature (type 2)it really protects the disk is you plan to use it alot. If you know your machine is compatible with this type of media you should NOT have any problems.
