Memorex DVD-RW 4.7GB

Finally got DVDs that worked in my recorder

I have been using these discs successfully in my Magnavox H2160MW9 DVD Recorder since December 2009. It is the only brand I have ever used in the Recorder, and I've gone through quite a lot of them. A couple months ago, when it came time to get more, it was a no-brainer. I ordered three packs.A few weeks passed before I actually needed to format a new disc. When I did, though, I got a "Recording Error. Cannot record on this disc. Error code E 4 54039000". This occurred on repeated attempts, with different discs from the spindle, without a single one formatting. However, previously formatted discs that still had space on them accepted new recordings. Two possibilities: I either got an entire spindle of bad discs, or my Recorder is starting to show its age. It is almost 9 years old, after all. Given the great reliability these discs have shown over the years, I figured the problem was probably the latter. I tried blowing compressed air into the Recorder, repeatedly, no luck. I tried using a DVD Lens Cleaner, repeatedly, no luck. I am reluctant to take the machine apart, as some message boards have suggested. I debated about buying another brand of discs, but had no guarantee they would fare any better.Just today, I tried something new. I was curious if I could format the disc in another device, then try it in the Recorder. I downloaded the manual, which said "DVD-RW recorded in the mode other than +VR [(video recording) format] is not recordable on this unit unless you erase all contents in the disc." Okay. Using my Win10 laptop, I formatted a disc "like a USB drive". I then put it into the DVD Recorder, saw limited disc options, and proceeded to erase it. The Dubbing menu was now enabled, and I recorded 2 titles onto the disc, with space for more. I expect this to work for the remainder of my discs, but will update if it does not work.Strange coincidence, then, that just today Amazon prompted me to write a review for these discs. It is coincidence, right?Anyway, I am still happy with these discs and think they work great. My particular use for them will now take a little bit longer, but hopefully this story will help someone else experiencing similar issues.

These are very good for burning videos to DVD with my Honestech Vidbox and they're also great for temporarily storing my still photos. I still have love for DVD's and CD's!!!

Works as it should. I use these for building software distributions for install on PCs that don’t yet have an OS or the ability to boot from USB.
