Memorex T-120 120 Minute RV VHS Video Tape (5 Pack): Superior Quality and Durability for Extended Recording Review

Blank VHS cassettes were being bought more and more frequently. We still prefer tapes to videodiscs (e.g. DVD) for convenience and ease of presentation and retrieval, and sometimes we burn DVD copies of tape material with that in mind.

These white ribbons are much better than other ribbons. Playback is also much better. Other tapes stop recording from time to time and I can only record one movie (I prefer to record 3 or 4 movies on 1 tape). I know the videocassettes are no longer made, so the others may be outdated.

ALL tapes were new, boxed, never used but none of them worked. Everything pulled, squeaked and was poorly sealed. I tried them on different VCRs to make sure they weren't tape machines and found they were cassettes. Delivery was ok and I would buy from the company again but I definitely do not recommend Memorex tapes and will never buy them again. I have not complained to the company because they do not make the product but I was not happy with the purchase.

I couldn't physically get the package out of the mailbox until two days ago (01/14/17), so I've only used ONE of the tapes so far. DAS records at least well. (I've learned over the years that tapes are more likely to perform well IF you fast forward the tape to the end and then let it rewind to the end. Start BEFORE you hit record. ) And I DO NOT doubt that the package arrived on time. I was NEVER later than promised.

Slight hum after pause (recorded on tape). Not enough to ruin my use of the tape, just barely noticeable in a quiet passage for just 1/2 second. I don't have this problem with TDK or Sony tapes. Generally satisfied but not thrilled, for the same price there are better tapes.

All ribbons were defective. They were freshly packed but I tried to write them down. Either pulled or squeaked, and all five were no good. I'm not a happy buyer. Super delivered, also FAST shipping, but these tapes are defective and will not be bought again from this seller. Good people, but their products are defective.

Two days ago (14/01/17) I was unable to physically retrieve my package from the mailbox, so I have only used ONE of the ribbons so far. DAS records at least well. (I've learned over the years that cassette tapes are more likely to perform well IF you fast-forward the tape to the end and then let it rewind to the end, beginning BEFORE hitting record.) And me I have no doubt that the package arrived on time. I was NEVER later than promised.
