I burned 2 spindles of Office Depot +16x. 50 for 50 on first spindle.Second spindle I ran into 3 burn errors on 2 of my benqs.After carefully inspecting those backups,there seemed to be a defect on those 3 and 3 more that I hadn't burned yet.It looked like a water spot inbetween the acrylic outer layer and the dye. Happen to be 6 in a row,ok after that. Here's actual media code according to dvdinfopro:

Your memorex are most likely made by the same manufacturer,maybe even the same batch!
I am quite fond of the Office Depot +8x riteks.The 50 packs were on sale-buy 1/get 2 free. Only 1 spindle of +8x left so they let me substitute 2 spindles of +16x for my freebies. Pretty good for 20 cents each during that sale!That's why I stay clear of the taiwanese maxell +8x's.Those are made by ritek-r03 as well and run 30 cents apiece when on sale.I'd pay 30 cents each for hitachi maxells.
I've burned a slew of ricohjpn-r01 in the +4x speed.These include: Maxell/sony/verbatim/ and all were very good on my benqs and tv recorder. I even have some TDK +2.4x rws that were made by ricohjpn. All very decent media,for the price.
I haven't found any ricohjpn-02 media so I don't know how they are.They'd have to be pretty good.
With the exception of those 6 bad discs,these ricohjpn-r03 seem to be decent. I'd have to rate them just under the Ritek-r03.
