And another thing. I did say that I use memorex. Got that. i also said i dont wanna hear from people that had NO problems with media, but I wanna hear those that DID have problems.
Lets face it, media is supposed to work. Of course more people will state that it works, because thats what it should do.

Christ...you like to think you said alot of things but you have not...
"Bet your bottom dollar that given a choice between those 5 brands, memorex would be the last chosen, maybe imation would nudge em out for 5th place but memorex would def capture 4th. "
Please show me in that paragraph where you indicated anything about price... SEE..that is what I'm talking about. Blanket statements without a catch..for me I always add a catch..because when we talk about this..it is all about preference..and not EVERYONE out there will think your "opinion" is right..because they may be looking for DVD's for a completely different reason. Hell..if NO ONE makes DVD videos..and only makes Data Backups.. then Princo or Great Quality (GQ) would be prefect for data..but I wouldn't trust them with my life for DVD Video. But I'm not going to tell someone that they shouldn't use the media when they have no problems with it... -

NO...They are not printable. I got them from my local Bestbuy. I think Memorex is quite better than Ritek G03 on burning. I can burn Memorex up to 4.33 GB and play fine. Ritek G03 will still burn up to 4.33, but have problem when play back at the last five minutes of the movie. I have tried many printable DVD-R and I like 2X Sumsung and 4X RiData because my Epson 300R prints them beautifully and they play flawlessly on my Pioneer 525 and my APEX 600a.

"You implied that GWB had his head up his ass, just like you thought I implied that all memorex is crappy since i used the word crappier
I dont give a fly poop about GWB either. "
no..implied had absolutely nothing to do with this..this was a joke that I made about your "head up your ass" comment. And what I said SPECIFICALLY WAS:
"Is that what armed forces do these days? Pull heads out of people's asses? Damn..no wonder GWB went AWOL."
You need to start reading right. I implied that if the Armed forces job..was to pull heads out of people's asses, then I know exactly why GWB went AWOL..BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO PULL PEOPLE'S HEADS OUT OF THEIR ASSES!!! JESUS H YOURSELF... I think too much Barrel bumping on the USS. Ass slam has given you a horrible STD that is obviously affecting your brain.
When you say something is "crappier" than the other..you put BOTH things in the same catagory of crap... It's not my fault you didn't know that.. I mean Christ..I know you have to have a high school diploma if you were in the Navy..You sure don't use it though
"I dont give a fly poop about GWB either"
Well you obvously do..getting so flustered and all..and taking words out of my mouth didn't say..which you seem to have a habbit of doing...
"The F bomb was just me using your lingo, I thought you may better understand where I was coming from if you started talking gutter mouth like you."
Nice excuse.. But of you were READING my posts..I never took it to that level. The F-bomb is only resevered for special occasions..and arguing with a 5th grade adult is not one of them.
"Yes, I can dish it out and I can take it also. What on earth gave you the impression that I could not take it LOL, there again you put words in my mouth. All I did was respond to it, thats all. "
Because you jumped on my ass about not taking your "sarcasm" but when I try and make a funny..and bust your balls a little about the "National Guard, pulling my head out my ass" you suddenly TWIST the comment..and turn it into me saying "GWB has his head up his ass" Why in the hell would I say that? What would that prove? Maybe you need to think before you speak because you know damn well that I was not making comment out from left field about GWB and what my opinion of his is... Just face it..you misinterpreted the insult...and the more you choose to keep pursuing the GWB comment..the more stupid you are going to sound. I've admitted to taking things in a different way by you..where my initial reaction was heavy..until you stated that that was not the intention of your comment. That is when I back down and leave the specific comment alone.. I would expect the same from you. Hence the phrase "Can't take it..but can dish it out"
"And you wernt being sarcastic, you were being sardonic. "
Your right..sardonic would be a better definition..
"And nice job you have there, does it pay well? No wonder you don't know much about media, with your job and all. I understand that you are trying so hard and I have to give you credit for fighting so hard, but even a rat knows when to abandon a sinking ship.
Am I comaring you to a rat? Of course not, that wouldnt be fair to the rats.
Make your poll and then you can say you're sorry. "
First off..what the hell does my Job have to do with this? Do you even know what I do? No..The reason I didn't bring my job into this is BECAUSE it has nothing to do with DVD Duplication..just like your Navy remark was just some sort of ploy by you do earn brownie points..like I give a rats ass that you served in the Navy. It has no bearing here whatsoever. Think it's funny how all you are doing is taking my insults..and trying to use them against me..when I clearly never mentioned anything in regards to my job like you did. Nice try.
The fighting really wasn;t hard though..you keep arguin only 1 point the whole time. All of the other points you have tried to make keep smackin you right in the face..because you can't keep a straight story. The only thing you kept straight was that you used MEmorex..and some failed..and that is why you and "EVERYONE" out there will pick Memorex as last. If it were only that simple. If there were 2 Billion "You's" out there..then Memorex would be out of business. but you fail to realise that other people don't share your views..and I bet that just pisses you off doesn't it. And no matter what you say.. you can't change that. And every other attempt to come back with even more points..you just end up stepping on your own feet.
We've hijacked this thread for long enough. If you say put up a poll..I will. Now we have to get something clear.. When someone is choosing DVD Media..they look at price very heavily.. Or at least I do. You can't just say ALL MEDIA COSTS THE SAME. If ALL MEDIA COSTS THE SAME and ALL MEDIA HAD THE SAME TYPES OF MEDIA (+R -R Printable, Non-printable)..and ALL MEDIA WAS READILY AVAILABLE THROUGH BESTBUY..COMPUSA..ETC...ETC...Then garauntee you even I would be very on board. Show me 4X Maxells from Best Buy..with white printable tops..and Good realiability...and I'd be in the EXACT same boat as you are. Somehow I feel you are NEVER going to get the fact that all media is not readily available..and not all media have the different types of media +R -R with printable or non-printable tops. Maybe in a year they might..and in a year I will have to re-evaluate the choice in media. But right now THEY DO NOT. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD -
HA, youre a riot !! I busted ur balls? thats funny, I wasnt even trying.
You need to settle down lil boy. So you get to use the S Bomb and I cant use the F Bomb? What kind of crap is that? Hmm, oh yea, maybe it's Memorex crap. I dont play your game, but you can play my game and you wont like the rules.
I win this argument as you constantly digress to the point where your posts become mundane and intollerbale to read. Your little credability that you had has now been thrown out the window(along with memorex discs).
I accept your appology and now you can move on and stay away from memorex. Arent you glad you followed my advice.
Now go brush your Tooth. -
oh my god..now your just backing down.
I can see why though..especially when I keep pointing out ho you keep contradicting your own statments. I can see why you have 350+ posts.. If I argued when I no longer had a point..I'd rack up some posts too.
Then you make childish statments like "So you get to use the S Bomb and I cant use the F Bomb? What kind of crap is that? Hmm, oh yea, maybe it's Memorex crap. I dont play your game, but you can play my game and you wont like the rules. " That definitely shows you are arguing with no reason but t just argue. You have been shut down several times.. And the F-bomb is a little less offensive than the S-bomb. Worst part of it is it was YOU in the first place that commented on my filthy mouth... Still can' take a little ball busting eh? I'm learning to take it from you! My "undies" may be in a wad..but your panties need to be removed from your ass.
I would tend to say "I win this argument as you constantly digress to the point where your posts become mundane and intollerbale to read" if the person I was aguing with shut me down..every time. The only thing about this argument you win is the fact that in certain points..I have mistaken what you have written down..but I fessed up to that...even though you've been doing the exact same thing. ]
You create a poll, that states "Memorex 4X RICOH's..good or bad?" and see what people say...I mean..seeing that your Memorex RICOH's didn't work well...that means the Majority of the people out there will agree with you right? Throw it out there and lets see... -
Did I say ALL my memorex ricoh didnt work? NO I did not.
Did I say that everything else being equal including price.. YES I DID
Did you not cry about me using the F Bomb when you used the S bomb? YES you Did.
Are you a hypocrite? Yes you are.
Did I bring up the # of my posts? NO I did not
Get your act together and come back when you know what to say. -
"Did I say ALL my memorex ricoh didnt work? NO I did not."
Maybe I jump the gun...how many coasters did you make with your's?
"Did I say that everything else being equal including price.. YES I DID"
No..I do not see that anywhere.. please direct me to a quote in here where you have indicated "put the 5 medias together and IF THE PRICE WAS THE SAME..which one would you buy" If you can copy paste..because I breifed through everything again but there is way too much shit in this thread now. Maybe you "meant" to qualify that all of them are the same price but you didn't from what I have read..and they are NOT the same price. If so..and assuming the "consumer" is looking for non-printable..and everything was sitting in front of them at Best Buy...then hell yeah. I stated in my post above that if I could find Maxell +R's printable for the same price as Memorex..then I'm all in.
"Did you not cry about me using the F Bomb when you used the S bomb? YES you Did. "
No..I didn't. You really don't know the meaning of cry is do you. I was bustin your balls because you said.. and I quote "your cussing dont impress me much, as a 20 Year Navy Vet I think I have heard all there is so calm down and talk civilized....If you can. " Looks like you were the first to cry.
"Are you a hypocrite? Yes you are. "
Examples? From what I just stated above..it looks like you are the hypocrite. Don't bust my balls for saying the words shit..and ass when you're going to call me "such civilized" words as "Butt-Breath..and Buffalo-breath...and constantly using the word ****. That is more hypocritical than anything. I just gave you shit about it because you were making a "snooty" comment, like you were much more "civilized" than I was. Came back to slap you in the face didn't it?
"Did I bring up the # of my posts? NO I did not " And I didn't say you did if you READ my posts. I'M THE ONE that brought up your post count.. Once again..just to bust your balls. You went so far as to try and start a argument about GWB because you misinterpreted my "Coast Guard" comment.
Unfortunately when in heated debates..and the only thing you think about is your next remark..things like that get twisted..and for that I will cut you some slack. I am the one that admits when I misinterpreted something you have said..but you sure don't return the favor. Not very "civilized" of you
"Get your act together and come back when you know what to say"
Christ..and you suppose all of the trash you spouted off in your previous post makes you look like YOU know what to say? I think the only thing I could be wrong about here was you saying everything being the same price..I just don't have the time or patience to look through this hijacked thread to see where you mentioned that.
I will continue to post in this section..but only for the results with my Memorex Printables that I am getting that are the same as the ones in the thread subject. Should be able to comment on reliability..print quality. Sick of arguing with a wall that is obviously a much different type of consumer than I am.. -
You know what..I went to your first post and saw:
"Memeorex is the last one I would buy if I have the option to get others within the same price range."
So you indeed did say "in the same price range" What confuses me is..Memorex and Maxell..or Fuji are not in the same price range..especially for white printable media. Ritek is..and so is a few of the off-brands.. Is there a specific site you are getting your media from? Because I sure as hell can't find these types of DVD's for the same price range... Or at least I couldn't when I was searching online last week. When it comes to regular non-printable..there is a good possibility that the prices for Fuji or TDK may be in the same price range as Memorex... If I was looking for non-printable to make data or something...Then I would probably go to Best Buy and pick the best price and most reputable name brand. Unfortunately..my needs are White printable, and they don't carry them (or at least they didn't 2 weeks ago when I was in there buying a new keyboard) -
Ahh, good boy, you did find my posts after all regarding price. I did tell you where to find them also. I even helped you by telling you the number of the posts. Heck, i gave ya 3. Onward.
twasnt the Coast Guard , it was the National Guard. And I didnt give a rats butt regarding that comment really, so chill out bud.
As far as using the word "cry" you just like semantics and Im not getting into that with you.
As far as the S word and the F word. You were the one to complane about me using the F bomb. I didnt complane about your cussing, i just said it dont impress me much as Ive heard worse. The u came out all whiny about DROPPING THE "F" BOMB and how you only use that word for certain occassions. Ergo, youre a hypocrite.
I have indeed got TDK for about a buck a disc, +R ricoh and I have got imations, same as tdk. Actually, I just picked up some imations for 39 cents per. maxell, I made a post recently about picking some up at walgreens, 10 pack 14.00 , fuji I havnt got any in the dollar range lately, but Im always on the lookout for them. And if I really need some discs and cant wait and memeorex are about a buck a disc and +R and ricoh then yea, ill get em.
Are you satisfied with that answer and have you stopped throwing apples at the homeless? -
hehe.. I never stopped throwing apples at the homeless..cause I never started,. But I DO throw nickles at em...
"As far as the S word and the F word. You were the one to complane about me using the F bomb. I didnt complane about your cussing, i just said it dont impress me much as Ive heard worse. The u came out all whiny about DROPPING THE "F" BOMB and how you only use that word for certain occassions. Ergo, youre a hypocrite. "
I can tell you your beating around the bush on this one because you left out an important part. You stated "try and act civilized..if you can". The only reason I mentioned the F-bomb coming out of your mouth was because of that very comment. In fact..I was a little more concerned with the names Butt-breath..and buffalo-breath..those made me chuckle. Doesn't sound to civilized to me..which would make you very hypocritcal. If you can't see that..then your blind. Here is what I said:
"You really don't think logically..you just start calling me stupid names and start foul mouthing..even though you already stated "I think I have heard all there is so calm down and talk civilized" I wouldn't call Buffalo..or butt breath...a very civilized conversation. And I certainly don't go around dropping the F-bomb like you keep doing"
Notice I mentioned that I am attacking you specifically because you said "I think I have heard all there is so calm down and talk civilized" Doesn't sound like whining to me..sounds like I am calling you out on your hypocracy.
And "dropping the F-Bomb" is a slang statment for using the "F" word. I have never heard of dropping the "S" Bomb..however how is it hypocritical? I have yet to use the word "****"...<----- except for just then, which stands tru to my statment.. You were the one to start directly calling me names...stupid one at that.. -
Wrong, the only reason you mentioned the F bomb was because I started talking gutter like you and you figured you had to have some lame retort.
Yea, I was using BUFFALO BREATH and such as a joke. Again semantics buddy. As far as attacking me personaly on the computer, well You really dont know me very well. I dont think there is anything you could type here that would ever come close to me feeling attacked. I'm a big boy.
The "talk civilized" comment was directed at your use of the "shit" this and "ass" that. Just letting you know that no matter how much you cuss, it just doesnt help you get your point across. Plus I was hoping it would cut down on your long diatribes.
Hell, I need to shave by the time I finish reading your posts.
Now, admit I am right about memorex, which is the whole point of this post.
everying being equal and that includes PRICE, which would you buy? -
Oh yea, gee thanks for explaining what the F bomb meant. I just fell off the turnip truck and didnt know. You're funny dude.
-
"Wrong, the only reason you mentioned the F bomb was because I started talking gutter like you and you figured you had to have some lame retort.

naw..now your trying to make yourself look clever..when in actuallity you lost your composure..and did something that clearly made you look hypocritical. You can make as many excuses for it as you want.. As you can see I'm starting to play by your rules..Instead of trying to understand where you are coming from.. I'll just TELL you where you are coming from. In fact..your way of playing seems pretty easy to me.
I have admitted to saying if Memorex was the same price as Maxell..and they had printable surfaces..and they were as readily available..then I would definitely go MAxell..or ANYTHING else with a better reputation. If you didn't see it..let me copy/paste:
"If they aren't printable surfaces, then I don't want em. If those other manufacturers can provide the same price..and print quality, and they are as available as the memorex..then memorex might be at the bottom. Until then..I'm all about price and print quality. If I pay 130$ for no coasters..I'd rather pay the 100$ with 5 coasters...but that doesn't mean it's crappy. "
If you would have read that and realized that I was on board.. and I certainly am not the type to stick with a company when their media has given me problems..you could have had this argument locked up a page ago..but you kept trying to argue with me on different points and bringing up bullshit. That is why I'm firing back..and it will be never ending if you keep putting your foot in your mouth. at least I'm the one to admit when I did put my foot in my mouth..you seem to hav too much pride for that I guess.
"Oh yea, gee thanks for explaining what the F bomb meant. I just fell off the turnip truck and didnt know. You're funny dude."
Sounds like you did because you seem to think that phrase indicates that I don't like it. I could care less how much you curse..curse it up! It's slang..
With that said..I'm leaving this thread alone until I get my Memorex's..which is what I should have done 3 posts ago.. No use in arguing with a person that does not want to admit that there are different kind of consumers out there.. -
So you agree with me at last! Im off myself too. I dont wanna have a battle of wits with an un-armed person.
-
ok..
Got my 100 pack from J&R.com. They are RICOHJPNR01.
First thing I noticed was the excellent printable tops. You can even feel the difference between these and the crappy USDM's I had before.
So far I have backed up 5 movies. The print quality is awesome!. On a good scan..somtimes the print comes out better looking than it looks on the computer. Definitely what I was looking for in that. Someone told me that Memorex printables hold a good amount of ink..and they are right.
The burn compatability is great....so far. The 5 movies went fine. I burned them all at 4X. I was happy about that, getting sick of burning movies at 2.4X to ensure a good burn.
So far that is all I have to say. They work on the 3 DVD players we have in the house (Aiwa, Panasonic, Apex). I fugred it would be no issues with that though..seems to me that it depends more or less on whether they are +R or -R.
I will report back..either in this thread or a new thread once I get to about 50. That is always the true test. -
memorex 4x +r are $9.94 at staples.com this week, they have -r 4x same price but I think they are tdk. get some & test before you buy 100, but this way you can return them.
-
yeah..I kinda jumped into it blindly on this deal..but looks like I made a good choice.
I'm still curious to know if the -R's for these printable tops are CMC..and if they are..how are they working out for everybody. -
this deserves a bump. anyone whose bought these, please post your experiences.
-
The DVD-R just came few days ago and it's CMC. I'm glad it's not Ritek or else I would of return that piece of shit since people think it's good. These DVD are nice and are printable. Memorex is da BEST
-
I've always been a DVD-R junky until about a month ago. Until today the only DVD+Rs I've had were Memorex and Aritas. Both were Ricoh disc. I got good quality from both disc, but the Aritas would always yield better Kprobe scans. I've never had a problem with play back of the Memorex.
-
I ordered a spindle of the -R printables which are CMC, i got 7 out of 12 bad media errors.
I shipped them back to amazon and got a replacement spindle, and once again 3 out of 5 bad media errors. And the two that did work produce skipping and jumpy playback near the outer band. The worst quality media I have ever used
This will be the last time I touch CMC EVER!
edit: I should add that other media works perfectly fine. I have the Sony DRU-510A burner. -
In a followup from Amazon:
As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement. We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item; however, I cannot guarantee when the error may be fixed. -
I bought 50 DVD+R's from KHypermedia last Thanksgiving. They were CMC's and no coasters.
I bought 25 CompUSA DVD+R's last December and the were Optodiscs and almost everyone was a coaster.
I bought 100 Memorex DVD+R's from Bestbuy in January and they were CMC's and after burning 75's I have had no coasters.
I haven't bought any printable ones yet, that's why I'm reading this thread. All the bs from Jaxxboss and hexedosom has pretty much ruined it, but I did want to put in my piece.
I haven't had a problem with CMC or Memorex.
I do hear everyone clamoring at how Riteks are great, so I might order 50 from meritline's slightly cheaper store, http://store.yahoo.com/cdrdvdrmedia/index.html or I might give the ones mentioned in this post a try if I can find the information amongst the puke spewed by jaxxboss and hexedosom. -
PEOPLE, PLEASE STOP POSTING IRRELEVANT INFO.
Back to the main idea of the post, anybody bought this 100pk from amazon, please let us know the made of the dvd+r adn dvd-r
i.e. is the dvd+r made by ricoh or cmc? is the dvd-r made by cmc or other?TQ -
dvd-r, CMC, 17 used already, no coasters on a NEC 1300a , firmware 1.0A
-
My 100 pack of Memorex DVD+R's were RICOH's and I'm having no problems with them (about 30 burned so far with no coasters). They burned fine at 8x in my Plextor 708A.
