The replacements are terrible also. I bought these discs not too long ago and only about 30% passed verify. I complained to Memorex and they sent me some replacements. I will never use Memorex DVD's again
Great quality. I've had these disks for a couple months now and haven't had any problem with them going bad. I loved the price. Would buy from again.
and now something like 3/4th of my current spool fails to burn with "power calibration error". I had the same situation as previous posters, I went thru a couple 50-spools of the 4x and had almost NO problems. Then I couldn't find any more of those and had to switch to the 8x. I have a sony 4x DRU-500A.
Memorex doesn't even make these discs. They buy them from CMC MAG and write Memorex on them. I say read this before buying because I am not going to trash Memorex, I am going to explain what will go wrong and why. These discs should work for a while.
Some CMC MAG discs have gone bad and completely corrupted in less than 2 months. If you are using these for anything but temporary, stay away. Recent Memorex releases have gone down in quality. Memorex used to be a very highly regarded name in fact.
I scanned and diagnosed some of these Memorex discs, and found out a few things.They have manufacturing label CMC MAG, the worst manufacturing label on the market. The quality is good, while it lasts.
I called my friend and he had the same problem. Please be aware, they might burn fine but when you need to retrieve the data is were you'll have the problem. The normal heat generated from the DVD player is affecting the DVD disks. I transfered some DVD's and they worked fine. I tried 5 disks with same result. I bought 50 DVD spindle.
Once tried to see the movies they all started freezing 1/2 way. I'm using Philips now on NEC DVD burner and they worked great.
Used them all with no problem. I used generic DVD from Staples and worked great.
After doing some research and reading some reviews on chat lines I found that a lot of people having the same problem. I returned them with full refund.
Once I do that, it works fine. It looks like I have to turn off the DVD player for about 15 minutes and wait for the DVD temperature to cool down.
Unfortunately I already bought another 100 spindle from Best Buy, but these were worse, I recorded with no problem but it froze all together once tried to watch the movie. One person said that Memorex use the cheapest die for thier DVD's.
