I'm just trying to figure out where it's cost efficient. At 75 cents a piece plus you still have to buy the media, why bother. You can get high quality printables at half the cost. The printer will be paid for after 75-100 burns. Ink would be the same since you have to but it for either. Kudos for him for wanting to try them, but I wouldn't recommend it just for the cost alone, let alone the longevity factor.

My Sharpie never let me down. $1.29 6 months ago and keeps on writting. Even when I forget to recap it. Cap it let it sit a day and keeps on ticking just like my watch. Total money spent $1.29 plus tax!

memorex arent the only ones that makes the label. Also Avery makes them i bought them too. Well im fighting the tide i highly doubt that and 99.9 dont agree with me. I highly doubt that its more like 60% dont agree with me. Well with my swearing well i dont like being insulted for my intelligence and personal intellect. If you dont agree with me fine i called memorex with labels and if your not satisfied they do refund the money if you people are wondering. Well about labels some people like the looks and some just want them to play forever. My advice if you want your dvd to play forever just get the original. You know there is going to be a new format of dvds blue ray and HDdvd(im not going to get into that because there is already a thread made about this debate) well people would rebuy the new format and new discs burning capabilities. Well back to the dvd labeling myth. My advice and experience if you want a dvd to last forever then buy an original. If you want your dvd's to look nice and dont have the money yet for an inkjet printer then get these new labels a try and if you dont like them just call and the will refund your purchase. As for people who are going to rant to me the labels are bad no matter what ill would say " im testing them for the benefit for the afterdawn community if they work then get and if they dont then dont get them"
Why would a lie to another person about advise. Im going to admit i wont guarantee 100% lifetime on these labels because i currently test all possible labels to regular paper, new dvd labels,to dvd injet printeable media to see which one is the best. If your asking me which one should i get and money is not a factor then i would go for a new printer and inkjet media. If money is a factor out of all the labels and you would like your dvd's to look nice. Then you shoud get labels that are the avery brand which works better and i see better scans and i have better faith with them rather than memorex there. However if your really cheap and dont give a damm about looks then get a sharpie which wont cost you more than 2 dollars. You decide whether or not to choose my advice.

You really need to get your facts straight, you haven't been here as long as most of us. How could you possibly believe what you said?

Who did that?
Are you accusing me of that?
I hope not....
The real shame here is that you are not listening to much that is been said here, you are just sticking to you guns & hoping that you will get someone on your side. How many people have agreed with you so far?

I did use avery labels...
Canon Pixma ip5000 inkjet is far superior IMO, and the good thing is all my inkjet's (yuden/verbatim) months down the raod, still play without a hitch in all players I've tried them on.
Whereas the avery labelled disc's won't play in anything but my uber Pioneer standalone.
So as far as labels are concerned, when the glue breaks down with the heat (over time) its play success was extremely poor and the resultant disc imbalance is detrimental to uour drive.
Inkjet printable's look better and have the added bonus of no disc balance problems.
But if you use labels and your sure they'll work for you in 3 years time, carry on.
I would'nt touch em with a barge pole, tho

Johny24,
I don't think that any one is saying that you are not intelligent, but if you ask for some one to give you their advice, and then debate the info that they give you, well....... maybe they are frustrated with the situation?
There are many threads in these forums that discuss the types of media to use. I would say that Memorex is not good media to start with. Verbatim is the best media I have been able to find for DVD's. And if you read my prior post in this thread, I have tried several, Fuji, Memorex, Maxell, Sony, and more. Verbatim is the media I use to get the best burn possible for me. It realy depends on your system.
What it all boils down to is, buy the best one that you can afford (because you get what you pay for in this life), and the one that works best with your equiptment. I personaly do not base it off my computer though. Try it in several different media players. Things break, and compatability may be more of an issue in the future.
If the copy will play in any player you put it in with no problems, then touch down, you scored. If not you should re-think things.

I agree with you. Well about the media its a different issue i have my different opinions about them. Well i hate memorex media for burning but i love the sony ones made in Japan those are the best.

Those sony MIJ are my favorites also. They are genuine Taiyo Yudens, and i get the +R format most of the time. Ive even had great success with the MIT sony D-21 media. Nice white surface to write on with a sharpie.. Yeah im really cheap and dont give a damn, because i have the original if i want looks, the copy is for playing, not looking at the surface and going oooh aaahh that looks nice, insert in to playback device.. pixilation. freezing.. stuck in drive... Yeah they really looked nice.. Meanwhile cheap ugly sharpie user is kickin back with is honney watchin a flick ENJOYING the movie,, not how it looked going i to the machine,, never to be seen again, until parts come off.
Its not a made up story. These things happen in real life to ppl who use sticky labels. Maybe yours work. NOW.. give it time.. and continue to use them.. while you can..
We tell ppl these conservative principles here so the masses have the best chance of success at getting a good burn. Thats all. You can try to test the limits, and thats fine, just expect some feed back to your ideas. Many of them will be negative, but hey, you like testing limits right?
You can get offeneded if you want, im just a joker, so id rather you be laughing.. :)
and you can test for AD if you like, very nobel, but Gurnard posted all the science i needed to see on page 2 of this post. He has already done your "testing" but you go ahead and find out for yourself. Really, nothing like not listening to ppl who know better from personal experiance just to see if they are lying to you.. School of hard knocks,, hey i graduated from there too :)
