Review on 📀 Memorex 4.7GB 2.4x DVD+RW (25 Pack Spindle) - Discontinued Product Information by Cesar Danger

UPDATE! In my previous review I talked about how reliable these drives were for me right down to my last spindle. Revain sent me a new spindle and I had the same issues so I did some research. I found a great free app called DVD Identifier that scans discs and reports details like the true manufacturer. The discs I've had so good luck with in the past were actually made by Ricoh. The drives I had such problems with in the last two spindles are not. They are made by InfoDisc. Googling confirms compatibility issues with InfoDisc and a variety of recorders, including my Lite-On (although my Pioneer and Sony can't record video to it either) successfully. In short, not all drives are created equal, especially not renamed ones. Memorex has apparently gone for a cheaper manufacturer and is now selling inferior discs. In the future I will use genuine Ricoh discs. ------------------------ I bought a spindle from them locally after buying a lightweight DVD burner and I was fortunate enough to To make backup copies of my existing DVD collection, so when I ran out of DVDs I decided to order more. Why mess around with a good thing? I decided to proceed with the backup using my new disc spindle and discovered that the next four movies I copied, despite claiming they burned successfully, did not play on my DVD player or any of my DVD players could become. computers. To confirm my concerns, I took one of the already burned discs from my previous spindle and used the copied data that couldn't be successfully written to any of the new discs and voila; No problem. After a few more frustrating tries I found that the all new disc spindle just wouldn't receive data properly and I have now requested a defective return from Revain. I may have just received a "disconnected" disc spindle since the previous spindle was fine, but the next batch I buy will be local for easier returns if Memorex turns out not to be the ones has quality.
