Review on πŸ“€ Memorex 4.7GB 8x DVD+R (50-Pack Spindle) - Limited Availability! by Sam Hawj

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Poorly. Poorly. Poorly. suitable for accessories and consumables

I bought a spindle for 50 DVDs. Use them all with no problems. As soon as they tried to watch movies, they all got stuck halfway. I called my friend and he had the same problem. It looks like I have to turn off the DVD player for about 15 minutes and wait for the DVD temperature to cool down. The normal heat generated by a DVD player affects DVDs. When I do that, it works great. Unfortunately I have already bought another 100 spindles from Best Buy but these were worse, I recorded with no problems but it all stuck together as soon as I tried to watch a movie. I tried it with 5 discs with the same result. I returned them with a full refund. I used a regular DVD from Staples and it worked great. I transferred several DVDs and they worked fine. I am currently using Philips on a NEC DVD burner and they work great. After doing a little research and reading some of the feedback in the chats, I found that many people are having the same issue. One person said that Memorex uses the cheapest matrices for their DVDs. Keep in mind that they can work well, but when you need to retrieve data, you will run into problems.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
