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.

    Comments about Memorex™ 100/Pack 4.7GB DVD-R, Spindle:

    To Whom it may Concern: We wish to say that we are so very sorry to have to report that the last three (3) Memorex spindles of one hundred (100) have not let us do any recording on them. Consequently, we took all of them back for exchanges on other brands. It is our suggestion that you remove all of your Memorex DVD's off of the shelves and replace them with brand new, and we mean, newly made discs. Because of having to return three spindles of one hundred discs, we decided to just not buy Memorex in the future.

                  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.

                  the top of the dvd is white frost. There is the word "memorex" to the right of the center hole, and "DVD-R", as well as "16x 4.7GB 120min" in small font, to the left of the center hole. The clear lettering is pressed into the white, and will not be seen under a label.

                  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.
