Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This 25-pack of 4x DVD+RW discs for newer DVD+R/+RW drives (part number 32025541) consists of rewriteable, single-sided discs that store up to 4.7 GB of data and approximately 240 minutes of video (depending on your mastering software; 120 minutes optimal)--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 8 mm 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.

Rewritable "plus" discs require no finalizing--you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to "background formatting." This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. For PC users, DVD+RW also offers advantages over DVD-RW, including on-disc content editing, built-in defect management, and multisession writing.

What's in the Box
25 DVD+RW discs, 1 two-piece storage case, and a paper insert with product details.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Different Memorex DVD+RW, July 9, 2009

This review is from: Memorex 4x DVD+RW 25-Pack Spindle (Electronics)

I have purchased several hundred Memorex DVD+RW discs in the past few years and while I have had an occasional coaster most of the discs worked quite well on the Samsung DVD recorders (two different models) that I have used. My recent order of two 25-disc spindles resulted in my receiving two spindles of Memorex DVD+RWs with a Memorex label that was not the same that has been used on previously received spindles (the label on the spindle was of a different design as was the imprinted design on each disc). The discs looked and felt different. I tried formatting 10 of these discs on both of the DVD recorders and neither of the recorders would work with the DVDs. The DVDs seem to be a completely different manufacture than the discs of the Memorex brand previously putchased. What can I say other than buyer beware. You can assume a certain quality from a brand name and then all of a sudden it is gone.

This update on my comments is dated 1/10/2011.
I notice that the current Amazon.com product description, for these discs, has been changed to say that the discs are "for newer DVD+R/+RW drives". Make sure you have a newer drive (whatever that means) before you purchase these discs.

Any of the reviews, written before mid-2009, (including the "Most Helpful Favorable Review" written 2004,and the ""Most Helpful Critical Review" written 2005) are referring to a quite different DVD+RW than the DVD+RW that is now being sold. My review states that the quality of the DVDs changed at some point in mid-2009. If you read the reviews after mine you will see that there are a number of negative reviews with specificity and they are often followed by good reviews that say things like "I purchased these DVDs and they are great". Maybe these are the people that have newer drives or maybe they have an incentive to write good things about products. I am suggessting that, if you have an older drive, buy these DVDs with caution - or do not buy them at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars look no further, February 11, 2004

This review is from: Memorex 4x DVD+RW 25-Pack Spindle (Electronics)

this is the best dvd+rw 4x I have ever bought. I tried another "big" brand and got scratched discs with the holder in middle broken on many of them. with amazon, you get your guarantee, and always a great product. I am on my second spindle of memorex and not a scratch in sight. try it, you'll like it!

Purchased these to use for transferring VHS to DVD using Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 and they have performed flawlessly. Have had no problems with formatting, etc. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. They aren't the cheapest, but they aren't the most expensive, either. Good value for a decent price.
