  So far, pretty lame... June 27, 2009
I use a fair amount of DVD-R's, for 2 purposes: backing up photos & burning family videos onto DVD's. In the past I've had good luck with HP and Philips discs -- I actually had no coasters, or playback problems with those brands.
But the quality of this stack seems lacking. A LOT of these have scratches underneath, in the outer tracks.
So far...
- The first disc was totally scratched, with what look like white marks, I just threw it away.
- The next one produced a disc that barely works in our DVD player.
- The one after that gave me a coaster.
And, by the way, I only burn at 1X to minimize errors.
So, now I am wondering... should I even bother with the rest of them?
 About half were flawed June 22, 2009
About half of the disks on the spindle have a flaw around the outer edge--it looks like a circular scratch. It isn't a huge problem because I look for the scratches and only use those disks if I don't need all the space on them, but they shouldn't be there. I won't be buying this brand again.
too many duds June 9, 2009
Through a longish period of time I've bought several Memorex DVD-R spindles of blank discs (B0009MX5R4). They've got less and less reliable. In my most recent spindle, there have been too many duds. Trying to record something from TV, they either didn't record or were unreadable on my DVD recorder or on my DVD player. It's been happening so often I won't buy this product any more.
Memorex has just changed the product - POOR QUALITY June 8, 2009
**PLEASE READ** Memorex has changed the product and packaging. I have purchased these for several years and been very happy. At first I thought I ordered these from that online auction site and received fakes. The packaging is so flimsy that it tore open during shipping. It looks completely different than than photo prsented by Amazon (the old packaging). See the photo I just uploaded! The disks feel so thin, they are more like one-time-use disposable DVD's than replayable quality DVDs. These disks are garbage.
 Pretty good June 8, 2009
The dvd pack is pretty good, definately burn them at a low level but very good price on 100 dvds and they're decent enough.
