I purchased the disc pack to make VCDs. The discs proved unreliable for VideoCD. VCDs did not play on the same CD-RW drive (under WinXP), or in my consumer DVD player (where other brands work.) The VCDs played on Mac OSX using DLC (freeware VCD player) but the video was choppy and the player became unstable.

I am forced to give this Memorex product one star because zero is not an option.

I have had a pack of these for a while and they are just terrible. I use a nice NEC DVD burner which is considered by burning pundits (they exist!) to be a really good drive. It's given me no problems ever, except with these disks. After the first burn they work fine but any subsequent burn they are tempermental at best and often do not work at all. Although I can quick-erase (or do a longer erase) and then burn a compilation, the data verification fails most of the time. Ignoring that, and trying to use the CD anyway, results in inconsistent, but generally bad results. For instance, my DVD player (which has had no problems with other media) can kind of run these disks but other CD drives cannot.

All in all a major disappointment. My burner can do CD-RW at 24X but even burning these at 16X on a fresh disk results in similar results. They are essentially very expensive one-time use CD-Rs.

became useless after 2-3 rewritesAug 30, 2006

After I rewrited the disks 2-3 times, I found all became useless. Burning process always failed and disks became unreadable. Do buy Sony, Maxell or TDK instead.

These make better toothbrushes than they do CD-RWsMay 16, 2006

I got these just to back up some of my stuff. Ha, what a laugh. After a couple months these things basically corrupted themselves in as little as a week, sometimes 3 or 4 days. At first I thought it was only the 4 out of 5 discs!!! Wrote some stuff on the other, came back a week later to retrieve it.........Gone. This happened on my Dell, Alienware and the HP at work. Take my advice stay away from these, or anything else that Memorex makes. Or you might just be taking yourself to the Hospital from the fits of rage that you'll acquire from using their products.
