Features: WORST Amazon experience EVER [Posted on 2008-07-23]
After ordering the Memorex DVD-R 16x 4.7GB 100 Pack Spindle Printable from ANTOnline - and finding out (after 30 days, of course) that at least 80% of these disks are DEFECTIVE - I might advise anyone else who is thinking of buying these to be sure it is from a reputable business. I have to write off the $43.00 that this cost me - but I am hoping that it saves someone else the aggravation!
Poor quality control [Posted on 2008-08-02]
I purchased these and found that within the same package there were disks of good quality and of poor quality. Over 30% of them (60%of those I used) either could not be written to or couldn't be printed on. The disk printing surface was obviously different from disk to disk. Some had a glossy surface which caused the printer ink to just lay in puddles on it and some worked a little better, having an almost matte surface, but not quite-the ink would print really lightly on them. Still others were a full matte surface and would print ok. I started using the ones with the matte surface and found many of them were defective-I couldn't burn to them-since I use them to store my own content or to burn movies that I create, it isn't an issue of restricted content. The disks themselves were defective. I now have more coasters than I will ever need.
damaged in shipping [Posted on 2008-08-09]
I have used the Memorex printables for several Amazon orders and usually have little or no problem with the discs. The last shipment was from the "other sellers" catagory because Amazon was unfortunately out of stock. Consequently the "other seller" was B&H photo/video. Their price was high but they had them. The discs came with a smashed and broken plastic spindle container that obviously was not packed well enough to survive the handling by the trucking company. I had to take all the discs and transfer them to my previously purchased spindle container. The discs seem ok. Just a hassle. B&H should ship more carefully. My previous purchase came from another "other seller": ANTonline, and it arrived in perfect condition. Watch out for poor shipping when ordering from B&H.
The best printable DVD-R I've found on the market [Posted on 2008-08-17]
This is now the only printable DVD-R that I will use for burning video DVDs of my own material. Other brands have given me problems with freezing in mid-play, etc. but not Memorex. Highly recommended for anyone burning video DVDs for play in regular DVD players and wanting to feel confident that their discs will work without incident.
Print to Center Not As Expected [Posted on 2008-09-07]
Technically, the DVDs are excellent and available at a great price, but the printable center hub is so opaque that it almost seems pointless to call it "print to center." There's other DVDs, Maxell, for instance, where the center hub coating is as dense (or seems to be) at the center as on the rest of the DVD. This makes printing a light-colored design on the DVD much more effective. If this isn't important to you, this DVD is a great buy, but my DVD design is subtle and I've had to buy other DVDs to have a more effective design.
