 Good Quality & Reliable DVD-R Blanks October 25, 2008
This is one of the several brands I find reliable for DVD-Rs. I barely find a coaster on the Memorex DVD-R's. It is as par as with the Maxells, Verbatim, Sony's and TDKs that I have used before. Try to stay away from unknown brands that is kind of a hit or miss.
This is the best way if you want to print your own titles and graphics. I use an old Epson R200 with a CD/DVD printer carriage. Using in combination with Paint Shop Pro editor, it works perfect. I stopped doing the stamp sticker label as it gives me problems with air bubbles and seems to make the DVD heavier to spin.
The thing with DVD's or CD's is that when you find a bad one, it seems to be bunched into the same stack as they were manufactured at the same place and at the same time. My recommendation is not to burn DVDs or CDs using the maximum speed, the chance of a bad burn tend to be much much less if you use the next slower speed indicated on the media. Same as filling up the data capacity, 4200mb seems to work best for me as filling up the DVD to the edge may become problematic.
 Print to Center Not As Expected September 7, 2008
Technically, the DVDs are excellent and available at a great price, but the printable center hub is so opaque that it almost seems pointless to call it "print to center." There's other DVDs, Maxell, for instance, where the center hub coating is as dense (or seems to be) at the center as on the rest of the DVD. This makes printing a light-colored design on the DVD much more effective. If this isn't important to you, this DVD is a great buy, but my DVD design is subtle and I've had to buy other DVDs to have a more effective design.
The best printable DVD-R I've found on the market August 17, 2008
This is now the only printable DVD-R that I will use for burning video DVDs of my own material. Other brands have given me problems with freezing in mid-play, etc. but not Memorex. Highly recommended for anyone burning video DVDs for play in regular DVD players and wanting to feel confident that their discs will work without incident.
damaged in shipping August 9, 2008
I have used the Memorex printables for several Amazon orders and usually have little or no problem with the discs. The last shipment was from the "other sellers" catagory because Amazon was unfortunately out of stock. Consequently the "other seller" was B&H photo/video. Their price was high but they had them. The discs came with a smashed and broken plastic spindle container that obviously was not packed well enough to survive the handling by the trucking company. I had to take all the discs and transfer them to my previously purchased spindle container. The discs seem ok. Just a hassle. B&H should ship more carefully. My previous purchase came from another "other seller": ANTonline, and it arrived in perfect condition. Watch out for poor shipping when ordering from B&H.
 Poor quality control August 2, 2008
I purchased these and found that within the same package there were disks of good quality and of poor quality. Over 30% of them (60%of those I used) either could not be written to or couldn't be printed on. The disk printing surface was obviously different from disk to disk. Some had a glossy surface which caused the printer ink to just lay in puddles on it and some worked a little better, having an almost matte surface, but not quite-the ink would print really lightly on them. Still others were a full matte surface and would print ok. I started using the ones with the matte surface and found many of them were defective-I couldn't burn to them-since I use them to store my own content or to burn movies that I create, it isn't an issue of restricted content. The disks themselves were defective. I now have more coasters than I will ever need.
