Amazing DVD recorder

I bought this recorder to replace an old Memorex recorder and it has worked flawlessly from day one. I've tried Sony DVD recorders and they just suck! Memorex offers the best at a reasonable price. It's fast and hasn't had any issues in the last few months.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Some little things

Takes some getting used to

Connects easily, quickly and accurately, but I'm nervous about vertical use. I don't want a freshly recorded DVD to fall on the floor. It hasn't happened yet, but I prefer to use it on my desk, close enough to the edge for easy access to the open button. I have never had a problem with any Memorex product.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Good, but not great

Error on first use

Bought a few months ago but used for the first time today. Disc marking function failed on first use. The guarantee is of course over. This isn't a bad looking paperweight, however.

Pros
  • A little about it
Cons
  • Update available

Bad quality, no support.

I had high hopes when I bought this. I immediately used it to create a recovery disk for my netbook. It created the drive ok. The problems started when I used Lightscribe to label the disc. In general, the quality was poor and there were a lot (20+) tree-like rings on the disc that shouldn't be there. driver firmware. The Knowledge Base lists either this or a failed drive as the problem. I went to the Memorex website and selected support. After making various decisions to find the right model…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
