Are these Fake MEMOREX DVD-R's?

[q-9]

hi, I bought a 25pk of memorex DVD-R at futureshop and I performed a test with dvdinfo and this code shows up:

00000000 00 6C 00 00 01 40 C1 FD 9E D8 52 00 02 55 0D 13 .l...@....R..U..
00000010 66 78 80 00 03 54 54 47 30 31 00 00 04 00 00 00 fx...TTG01......
00000020 00 00 00 00 05 88 80 00 00 00 01 00 06 08 0F 11 ................

my question is: are these fake Memorexs and should i take them back?, i just want an opinion from the pros, i really dont know much about this stuff

tnx for any replys

No. Actually that is a TDK 4X DVD-R code. Great discs, nothing wrong with them. Sure will be better than CMC's which memorex usually are.

They should work great. BTW> where does the packaging say they were made? (Japan/Singapore or Taiwan?).

Cheers.

I thought 4X TDK media were Ritek G04's?

Not always. That is a part of the problem these days..you never know what you get

Damn company tactics.

I have never seen RITEKG04s branded as TDK myself...

Imagine that...fake Memorex discs. Sort of like counterfeiting $1 bills instead of $20's...

And if they say that, then they are Made in Taiwan. I don't see how that has any relevance. I am not going to get into the Made in Japan v/s Made in Taiwan v/s Made in India argument here, but if it works for you, then its good and that is all you need to know.

I have RicohJPNR01 discs which are both Made in Japan and Made in Taiwan. I cannot tell any difference between them..

Enjoy your memorex's.

BTW > Did you buy your's at Futureshop? I might pick up some too.

Cheers.
