Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Over the last six months I've burned well over 400 DVD's.While I've also used Verbatim, Fuji and TDK, the majority were Memorex.I've had one bad spindle of Memorex DVD-9's in which most couldn't even be recognized by the drive, and in general, about 1 in 20 DVD5's don't verify.My experience doesn't prove that Memorex is the best brand, but any manufacture process can have a bad run, and I won't pass a brand up just because someone else bought one bad spindle.Memorex isn't perfect, but I haven't seen a brand yet I'd give 5 stars, and they're at least as good as anything else I've tried.
A few observations - the combination of PC, drive and media can make a big difference.Some of the OEM drives that come with bargain PC's are just junk, and even good drives can be finicky.I use mostly Sony DRU 810A's, which are currently less than $60.This gives great results in a Gateway, but is less reliable for some reason in an eMachines - you get what you pay for.You're also far safer leaving the pc alone while it's burning DVD's - the faster the burn speed, the more true this is.I have yet to see an old-fashioned "buffer underrun" message, but the error rate is consistently higher if the machine is distracted while it's burning.
Just because the ads make DVD burning look simple and bullet proof, doesn't mean it is.Go slow - buy a few small batches of different brands, and *really* test them.Find out what brands your burner maker recommends, but don't take that as the last word.Sony does not like Memorex, but I just bought another 400, because only your own experience - and not somebody else's bad luck - is going to tell you what brand is best for you.
