Review on πŸ“€ 25-Pack Spindle of Memorex 4.7GB 4X DVD+R Media by Greg Lockhart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Finally DVD media I trust and can afford.

I have had burners for many years and am very familiar with cup holders, bad media and bad discs. My latest Frankenmachine incarnation has a Sony internal DVD/CD writer and a Sony DRX-500ULX external DVD/CD writer. I gave up the Roxio software a while ago and now use the Nero toolkit almost exclusively. Wow, huge waste of money despite reviews saying they burn 4x with my burner. So, after that coaster spindle burned, I turned to the media again, this time looking for a well-known brand. A year ago, Memorex had a line of cheap CDRWs that were 50% terrible and 50% fast. I didn't want to try them again, but Revain had a lot of DVD+Rs and the return policy was generous. Also, I've heard that +R is usually more compatible. So I ordered a pack of 25 discs. I recorded at 4x and played each disc in every DVD reader in the house (all Sony). I can at least recommend this medium to anyone with Sony gear. It's nice to be able to burn DVDs at 4x instead of making stands. Best of all, nobody sells them for less than Revain. Great offer. fred
