memorex discs

[sweepe007]

where do I start, I normaly use Verbatium disc But was given a Memorex +R and had my first bad burn. It would not play in my stand alone player ANd it said no disc. I tried it in my portable and after a few atempts it played a little in my portable but had a bit of pixaltion. I tested it in my tower in nero and and according to the disc info my the memorex is a Rietek [sic] I reburned and use a verbatium andit was ok I always thought Rietek was a good disc but I guess they do make lower end for memorex. sweepe007

Valuable lesson. Stick with Verbs and beware of people bearing gifts.
