I recently purchased one of those Epson R200 so I can print onto the CD/DVD directly. Now when making "backups" of my DVD's I purchased the Memorex 4x DVD+R Printables. Yet none of my backups have succeeded. While using Nero, the Lead-in phase can take over 10 minutes before it starts to burn. Then about 70% of the time Nero will lock during the writing phase. If it does complete, the disc is unreadable to both a PC and DVD Player. I also tried using DVD Decrypter to burn the backup, which I forgot to mention I use DVD Shrink to copy to HD, and it has the same issues with creating unreadable discs.
Is this a media only issue? I have tried non-printable Memorex 4X and 8X with no issues. I didn't think the printable media was any different than the regular media...
This issue occurs on my work PC's Memorex True8XI also.

Most people don't recommend memorex media whether it be inkjet printable, dvd+r, dvd-r, 4x, or 8x. The main reason being that memorex buys their media from several manufactures (ricohjpn - good, cmc magnetics - bad, and a couple in between) and you never know what you're going to get. If you don't believe me do a search on memorex media. You can use this proggy (free) to see who actually made your media. http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/ Then look here to see where your media is rated. http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

I would recommend Taiyo Yuden's first or you could give Prodisc a try but you con't go wrong with the Ty's.

One issue with Taiyo Yuden is that they are -R not +R. I only use +R because they have always been more stable and better quality than -R with my DRU700A. Do they have any good Printable +R media to use?
