Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Memorex DVD+R 16x 4.7GB 100 Pack Spindle
Customer Review: The best of breed among DVD+R's
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gone through the recording of roughly 300 DVD's over the last three years, some for backing up the contents of computers, many more for very old films that will never be on DVD. I've tried several brands and I say you can't beat Memorex DVD+R as far as quality versus price. I'd say out of each 100 pack I've had, 2 DVD's burn with errors. None of those happened when backing up from a computer. All of them came from recording from a DVR, so for all I know it could be my DVR that was the source of error. The quality of the DVD+R in the case of film recording appears to be perfect. The oldest DVD's in my collection still play in my pickiest DVD player after three years.
I will warn anyone who is recording filmed media to stay away from DVD-R's of any brand. In the beginning I was going with DVD-R just because it was cheap and I paid for it in artifacting that often appeared in the finished product.
Customer Review: Excellent price.....

I have a Samsung DVD burner and a DL NEC. I can honestly count on one hand the amount of times I've made a coaster with either drive and at those times I'm sure it was my fault for trying to tweak my performance. Make sure you keep the firmware for your burner up to date and the software your using to make the DVD's with. I edit the firmware that NEC and Samsung release to the public to serve my need....such as region coding etc. I wouldn't recommend this for the lamen nor should you have to if your just expecting normal performance. I've yet to copy anything but movies at this point and this could be why I'm having excellent luck. At this point I've been switching between Memorex and Ridata, depending on which ever one has the better price. I see some of the reviewers have had issue with this product, not in my case.
At the time of this review the cost for this spindle of x16 +r is a great value.

I have used this type before and since the price was good, I ordered from Amazon. The order came in a box that was way too big; bubble wrap stuffed in a corner of the box; spindle BROKEN and discs all over the box. I called Amazon, they were great, sent me a shipping label and the next day our UPS driver dropped off the replacement and took the defective package. When I opened the LARGE BOX (for 1 spindle)ONCE AGAIN the spindle was broken and discs all over the box. Again I called and Amazon refunded my money.
Whoever packs these and ships them must not have a clue. How about using some packing tape around the bubble wrap so that it stays on and maybe the spindle won't break.
I can't comment on the quality of the disc only on the horrible packing and shipping from Amazon.
Customer Review: BAD SHIPPING PACKAGING!
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered three 100 quantity spindles from Amazon - or whomever actually shipped them in Amazon's name. They were appropriately shipped free HOWEVER the packaging was TERRIBLE! The three were placed in a much too large box and cushioned with only a few air pillows. Consequently, all arrived with the caps dislodged and/or cracked and discs damaged from not being properly guarded against movement. The price is right, the undamaged discs work well, but the packaging upon shipment guarantees damage. These heavy objects MUST be better packaged preferably with peanuts or almost anything that can restrain their movement. The air pillows used are much too flimsy for the weight and will, as my shipment did, break and deflate thereby offering absolutely no protection.Customer Review: Unstable over 4x , don't even try 16x

I bought a batch of these from Comp USA. When I first started burning DVD's I used Memorex. I've since switched to Verbatim & Fuji but these were on sale so I gave them a try. I guess I should have checked the first DVD but since I used Memorex before and didn't get any errors I assumed everything was OK. I burned over 30 before something caused me to check one and sure enough it didn't work. When I checked the other 30+ plus I burned they didn't work either. It was obvious then what the problem was. I tried several at different speeds and 4x was the fastest speed I could reliably burn at. I use an NEC 3450a 16x DVD burner and I know not all discs will burn at maximum listed speed but this is too big a gap. I'm sticking with Verbatim.
