Some of the other reviews refer to DVD/R, DVD/RW or DVD+RW, which are all different, incompatible formats from DVD-RAM. I can only speak to my Memorex DVD-RAM experience. I own over 40 DVD-RAM cartridges, mostly from Maxell, TDK & Panasonic. Only 2 have ever failed: this Memorex & a freebie from Optodisk. I thought I would try this Memorex because if it's [low] price. It failed within the first week of use, taking all 9.4 Gigs of data with it, and the defect was such that it could not even be reformatted. Getting a replacement under the warranty was so much trouble that it wasn't worth it. I've heard tell that that these Memorex DVD-RAMs don't play nicely with Macs. Buyer beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely No Problem Using This DVD-RAM, April 10, 2002

I have owned the Panasonic DMR-E20S DVD Recorder/Player
since November of 2001.

I bought 20 Panasonic Disks (at about twice the price) and 30
of the Memorex. Apart from having to format the Memorex before
using it (about 1 minute each side on the machine), there seems
to be no difference in the quality.

However, since I only have the one machine,
I have no way of knowing how readable the disks would be on Computer DVD-RAMs and other Recorder/Players.

Also, Memorex makes an affordable DVD-R (#3202-5510) which can be recorded on the Panasonic Machine (only once).
They work on any DVD player that can play a DVD-R (such as my Sony Portable).

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS DISC IS FANTASTIC!, June 18, 2002

I own a rather large and rare film collection which includes rare vhs and laserdisc titles. With the Panasonic DVD Recorder and the Single and Double Sided Versions of the Memorex DVD-RAM discs I was able to transfer all of my vhs and laserdiscs titles to DVD-RAM where their contents will now remain safe. I had nothing but the easiest of times with both the Single and Double Sided Versions of the Memorex Discs, had no trouble whatsoever, and I cannot recommend them or the Panasonic DVD Recorder highly enough! Recordable DVD/DVD-RAM is the most important development in archiving since the book!
