WARNINGFriday, April 08, 2005
I had no problems burning to these discs, its when I went back a few months later to these discs and found out that none of them work anymore. After further research I found out that Memorex uses the cheapest dye available and thus the DVDs have absolutelly no life to them, my discs started dying after a few months.
In addition, in you physically hold the disc in your hands you can feel how warped physically it has become. This is true for all the discs (about 150 of them). I CAN NOT NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT STRONLY ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worked well for me after downloading new firmwareWednesday, March 23, 2005
I first tried these blank DVDs and they did not work for me and I was very frustrated. There was clear labeling on the package that new firmware was needed for many DVD writers to work with these discs. However, my DVD writer was a variation of what was listed. So I tried about 10 discs and only 1 worked. Tonight I downloaded the firmware for a variation of my HP drive and all works fine.
Bottom line - expect to download the firmware and these will work great.

Memorex DVD+R failure rateWednesday, March 09, 2005
This order of DVD's had higher than normal failure rates.
The Sony DVD read/writer was unable to write to about 10% of these DVD's. This is too high and makes the price per DVD high. Reliability of backups is very important to us.
I have been using Memorex for a long time. Next time I will try another brand.

Incredibly inconsistent, and a waste for me.Thursday, February 17, 2005
Out of the past 20 burns, I have only had 10 DVD's burn successfully. I use Roxio CD Creator version 7, which does a great job with my CD's, so I'm pretty sure it's the DVD media. Not only am I wasting all my money, but my time as well. I've tried to lower the burn speed, but it does not matter. I'd try something else.
