I use DVD-R's for archiving large amounts of customer data. Memorex DVD-R's are good quality, but have about a 4% failure rate on average in my experience. That may not seem a lot, but my experience with some other brands is only about 1% failure, or less. I still use Memorex, if they are on sale when I need DVD-R's, but it's not a preferred brand.

We own a small production company in which we produce training materials for strength athletics, martial arts and household instructional/educational DVDs. The majority of the time we order our replication DVDs in bulk from media supply companies, though in a pinch will purchase these 100 ct spindles from local area stores when on sale.

Several times we have purchased the Memorex brand DVD-R discs and without fail have customers call with complaints of discs freezing or menus not operating properly from these batches.

All of our DVDs are replicated from a hard drive, not duplicated from another disc. Every other brand of DVD we've tried records with few errors. Shockingly - given the brand name - the Memorex discs record with errors, and entirely too many become a tax-break by being scrapped as they simply will not record to begin with.

A sad comment given the numbers of blank cassette tapes and CD-Rs I purchased over the past two decades always being exclusive towards the Memorex brand.

I have even experienced issues with the same discs just attempting to use them in our personal tv-top DVD recorder in our home as well as my laptop and desktop PC.

The first two times we thought we just ended up with a bad batch, but it was not the case. After several purchases our customers always complain after we use Memorex brand DVD-Rs. From our experience they consistently have the highest rate of error.

                  I bought the DVDs to back up my families movies, home movies, create slideshows as gifts, etc... of the 100, 39 failed to burn and another 22 that actually did burn would not play. It would get almost all the way through burning and give me a burning failed message. most of the ones that did burn gave me a 'playback function is not available on this disc' message. I only ended up with 39 dvds out of the whole bunch...

                      Yes you can print a pdf file onto a DVD. A DVD-R typically has a storage capacity of 4.71 GB, and the data on a DVD-R cannot be changed once burned.

                      It depends on your use after you burn the music. Be aware that many CD players will not play DVDs. Newer, more advanced stereos will play them.

                      This is perfect for burning any photos that you want to show later. Has lots of storage space and will hold almost 5 GB of files. That about 600 Hi-res images. With 600 images to show at your family get-together you will soon be asked to take a break! Great image quality and will work on most DVD players and DVD drives.
