Worthless. They used to be good, but I had 100% failure on the last spindle I bought. I'll never buy Memorex again. So far I've been pretty lucky with Verbatim. A little more expensive but worth the peace of mind.

These 8x disk will not play in the two DVD players I have. The disks will play K on my computer. The older 2.4x DL disk play fine on both my DVD players. This makes these disks use less to me. Beware of these disks.

Bensie is out of his bloody mind. $30 for 100? Buy Frys house brand for about $8 on sale, and they all work, unlike these.

always burn at 2.4x. I remember when we were burning ps1 games and people were always pushing the verb kool aid then. It doesn't make a difference. I always went memorex and those disks are still going strong from 1998.

I did buy tons of those el-cheapos three years ago and they were great, but Memorex changed suppliers and started selling sh!te under the exact same SKU, same packaging. You can't tell the bad ones from the good ones until you open the box. You're the noob #5.

No thanks....got my share of coasters with these. Will pay a bit more and stick with Verbatims. I can't afford to loose my leeched content.
