Hello,
I have been making (media) backups for a while now. I have always used Memorex DVD+R's, I had nearly a 100% burn rate. I ordered a new batch from Amazon, these are beating me up bad. I now have a 50% rate, the picture shutters, locks up, and the end is cut off. I did notice these discs are a little thinner. Somebody told me to try Ritek Ridata 4x dvd+r to cure the problem. I got them this morning, the shuttering and locking up stopped, but the endding is still getting cut off. I changed the shrink mb from 4464 to 4200 and that seemed to fix that. My system is a Dell 8300, windows XP, Teac DV-W58E. I use dvd dycrypter, shrink 3.1, and nero 6. My questions are, why did this all of a sudden start? Has anybody else had problems with Memorex? I have always sworn by Memorex as I have used them for years and years (cassettes, CD's, VHS, etc.) and the DVD's for about 7 months.
If anybody has any input, please let me know.
Thanks
Danadena

... I've posted it elsewhere on AD forums and I'll repeat it for you ... Memorex media is landfill material ! ... The problem is that they change manufacturers of their media more often than I change my socks ... It really is a crap-shoot with them, you may get the best quality or you may just get trash ... You really shouldn't write past 4350 under any circumstances and 4200-4300 gives you more of a safety zone ... RiData branded Ritek media is some of the best for the price ... I've had hundreds of flawless burns using the stuff ...

... Here's a link that identifies media for you ...

Thank you very much!!!
So far after I changed it to 4200, everything seems great. Also switched to Ridata.
Thanks again,
