Memorex Mini DVD+RW 10 Pack Reviews

• Finally half price for 1.4 gig camcorder disks, don't need finalizing!

  
  By A1G2VXKI8GO1P1 on 2006-05-23
  $1.50 disks!! Yeah!!! and the cure to bad mini-dvd disks is +RW
  
  had a problem with dust, dirt or defects on disks in your sony mini-dvd camcorder? symptoms are you get a horrible message 13:c:02 and you lose all your pictures when you try to finalize it (or sometimes when taking pix it hangs so bad you have to take out battery because it can't write disk)
  
  the sony 3.3 megapixel cam has unlimited storage - 1.4 gig = 1000 pictures, about a day of shooting, and way cheaper than memory stix - about 1/20th the price, plus you can keep these as an archive, don't need to ever erase the disks at this price. Just this one problem with bad disks.
  
  The solution is mini DVD+RW disks. They don't need finalizing. Whatever pictures wrote OK are available even if you can't finalize disk. While not all dvd players except newer ones will accept this format, (and put them in a player you may still need to finalize them), they are the solution to lost pictures. - isobuster.com program MAY be able to recover some of these disks.
  
  You can always transfer pictures and movies to your PC - plug in USB cable to camcorder and PC (you've already installed sony software), switch to preview pictures and the pc takes over. select all the pictures (from dvd tab, movies or stills) and click 'copy to hard disk'.
  
  And while they're available in 3 packs (at $3 each), these bulk packs get you disks for $1.50 each. to cut down on shipping costs of about $12, order 4 packs of 10 at once. Computer brain shipped them real quick for amazon. Just to check them, I formatted them ahead of time, all 10, about 47 seconds each. No problems. Keep some extra soft sleeves or small or large cd-rom if you want to separate the disks to send someone.
  
  I'm just finishing 1st 10 pack and no lost movies or pictures. Sorry I didn't know about them when mini DVD-R wiped out because of dust at San Antonio zoo..
  
  
  
  

• Not rewritable in Sony Handycam

  
  By A23TT4DN0LP9WH on 2006-12-19
  As others have said and anyone can see, these are very inexpensive rewritable mini-dvds. They may be rewritable when using them to hold data in a computer but not in my Sony Handycam.
  
  After using a disk in the Handycam, before the disk can be played in a simple dvd player the disk must be finalized in the camera. Using another brand of mini-dvds (JVC, much more expensive) the disks can later be rewritten or added to by telling the camera to "un-finalize" the disk. Using these Memorex disks the images are retained well enough but my Handycam cannot "un-finalize" the disks for rewriting. I can reuse the disk by reformatting but that, of course, necessitates deleting the information already on the disk.
  
  So I give these three stars. On the plus side are the price and the fact that, like most rewritables, you can reformat them or delete the most recently shot image on the disk; but on the negative side is that they can't easily be reopened after finalizing to add new images.
  
  

• Great Buy!

  
  By A39MSXKCB55YCW on 2006-08-05
  I use these in my new SONY 405, and they are great. The camera reminds you to use SONY discs, but despite the fact that I am a big SONY fan for the most part, their discs are expensive. These are a great buy thru Amazon.
  
  

• Incompatible

  
  By A1IKGXJGXRY3OB on 2007-03-28
  Make sure you know that these will work with your camcorder before buying. Apparently, they work fine with Sony camcorders (the packet too says so) but not with Canon. Also, it's incompatible with my new Panasonic camcorder too. Interestingly, it was displayed as a combo offer when I bought my Panasonic camcorder, which is the reason why I bought it anyway, but got duped.
  
  

• Not Compatible

  
  By A38AKDK982IJC2 on 2007-03-09
  These discs do not work with my Canon Camcorder. I think the label should inform people they may not be compatible with certain devices.
  
  
• Perfect for Sony DCR-DVD108 Camcorder
  By A3OCXPAHNDS0T9 on 2007-06-01
  I bought this package for my newly purchased Sony DCR-DVD108 camcorder. Those DVD+RW disks work perfectly with my camcorder. The camcorder had a note for non-Sony disk when I tried to record. However, it doesn't bother me at all.

  Check for camcorder compatibility prior to purchasing; not compatible with Canon camcorders.
  
  
• didn't work
  By A34M5P0NE53QC7 on 2007-02-08
  so i buy my parents this brand new Canon mini-dvd camcorder for Christmas and look for some mini-dvds on amazon for them to record on. i figure, what the heck, they don't need RW discs, but why not go for quality ones the first time around (as opposed to mini-dvd+r). my parents are excited about this gift and we pop in the discs to start recording, but the thing can't read the discs for some reason. i read the back of the dvd package and it says some formatting may be required. so i pop the disc into my computer and try to format it, but my computer can't read the discs as well. i just bought some mini dvd-R's and my parents will be getting it soon. i'm pretty sure the camcorder itself wasn't the problem, but if it turns out to be the case, i'll re-evaluate this product. but for now, it's no good.
  
  
• Works fine with SONY HDR-UX1
  By A34LG87J4R7NBW on 2007-02-11
  Sony does display the annoying warning message for DISC not made by SONY but it goes away in a few seconds and everything works great including re-formatting.
  
  
• Memorex Mini DVE+RW
  By A1SZJG02P8MX9E on 2007-08-12
  Works just as well as Sony Discs only cheaper. Only difference is annoying message from Sony that this in not a Sony disc.
  
  
• Disc error on canon dc10
  By AXNZ8LW640Q01 on 2006-12-08
  My canon camcorder model dc10 cannot initialize any of the discs. I went to test out the sony handyman mini dvd-r and found no problem. I'm not certain whether it's the dvd-rw format that my camcorder does not recognize or whether this pack of memorex dvd-rw is incompatible with my canon. In either case, I can't return the disc to get any reasonable refund since it has been opened. The 10 pack gets a 1 star for cheap price although useless in my case.
  
  
• non-compatible with canon dc230
  By A4US5S4FSQUU5 on 2007-06-01
  i oedered this product because it was paired with the canon dc230. It is not compatible and should've not been paired with the camera.
  
  
• Totally incompatiable with Canon DC50
  By A1POPKBBKVF08M on 2007-06-10
  I bought these as they were linked to the Canon DC50 that I bought at the same time. They do not work at all and I do not understand why they were linked with this product. Very disappointed!
  
  
• Memorex Mini DVD+RW 10 Pack
  By AGQ17LWPGXFYL on 2007-09-27
  I brought this pack along with my new Sony camcoder (DVD408). But unfortunately all (except one) DVD is not working. First I thought, it is the problem with sony camcoder, but its not all working in computer drives also. I tried with 3 different computer. I purchased another DVD from stores, its working fine with camcoder. Please avoid buying this item.Memorex Mini DVD+RW 10 Pack
  
  
• Not compatible with Canon
  By A3K0ERT89GAH3P on 2007-05-01
  Use the silver package DVD-RW they work fine. I would ask that the package be labeled better.
  
  
• Not Recommended
  By A80IA1WG0ERX2 on 2007-05-01
  Please do not use this product for DVD Camcorders as not supproting Camcorder & you may loose all your recordings & moments. I have lost many of the moments & hate this DVD disk. I would like to recommend Maxwell DVD's
  
  
• Memorex Mini-DVDs great value
  By AUHNS3TL4JIRL on 2007-06-08
  These mini-dvds are great. They're such a bargain compared to the Sony equivalent. Fast delivery too.
  
  
• Very good quality for RW on my Sony DVD408
  By A1V7MHNB3IIBVP on 2007-06-14
  Sony camcorder shows warning for not using Sony disk which is annoying but apart from that nothing to complain about.
  
  
• nice quality
  By A10VI90MX0D79M on 2007-07-04
  These worked beautifully. We used them with our Sony camcorder and couldn't imagine a better outcome. A sales person at Best Buy recommended we use only Sony Mini DVD's with our camcorder but I can't imagine any product being better quality than these.
  
  
• dissapointment
  By A2Q5R3CD6URP8F on 2007-12-30
  The dvds arrived on time. The package was opened and the DVDs do not read in the Canon DC50 camcorder it was bought for. From what I am seeing in the one staer reviews is these DVDs are not compatible with some camcorders. Sony DVDs of the same type worked fine. The funny part is if they were opened they were probably returned by someone else. Why send them to me? This is very unusual. I am usually happy with my amazon purchases. It gets one star for arriving in a timely manner, and hopefully for their return policy.
  
  
• It's Work!
  By A3VYSQW0W89GYQ on 2008-01-16
  Eventhough recommendation to use SONY disc always appear on the screen whenever your DVDcam turned-ON, it can used to record my important moments anyway,... and it's work also on my DVD player for watching the result with whole family. Excellent product.

• DVD-RW for Digital Camera
  By A2YHVZ52FRPAOR on 2007-07-09
  A simple product that either works or it doesn't...and these worked...so nothing special here, mostly a matter of price and rapidity and price of delivery.
  
  Delivery from this source was too slow.
