Digital camera reviews of Memorex 16X DVD-R (100-Pack Spindle)
Digital camera Review: 16 = 4
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a 16x dvd burner which came with my Gateway computer purchased earlier this year (February 2005). When it comes to finding media, there aren't a lot of 16x dvd-r's out there to buy. I've found a few, which all worked swimmingly. I spotted this new Memorex version of 16x dvd-r's at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. After I got them home, I found out they only burn at a measly 4x... not even 8x... on my 16x burner.
I'll try to find a firmware update to see if that helps. But come on, my Compu is less than a year old. Media should be more compatible than that. In ye olden days, when I bought cassettes, I didn't have to worry whether I had the very latest version cassette recorder to get them to work.
Compatibility issues should be listed on the media, especially on items which are being purchased in bulk. They're sold as dvd-r's, not as "might be a dvd-r / might be your new set of coasters / a surprise in every box". If a firmware upgrade doesn't work, I'll try taking these back to the store.
Digital camera Review: 16x coaster
Summary: 1 Stars
Pay attention to the reviews here. These discs do not work. I got about 1 out of 10 to work using 2 different DVD writers.Digital camera Review: A Bargain
Summary: 4 Stars
Far cheaper than buying at Best Buy or any other retail store that I know of--even with shipping charges. I go though about one of these per month and only very rarely do I run across a disc that malfunctions. A bargain.Digital camera Review: A few coasters
Summary: 4 Stars
Over all, these are good disks. I have used them in the past and I would get 1 coaster out of 100. This must have been a bad batch. I have gotten 6 and have only used 15 disksDigital camera Review: A good DVD-R for a good price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used these DVD-R discs for several months and they have worked better than other brands I have tried. I have a Sony DVD RW which works good with these discs.
