Memorex DVD-R is the only blank I've had problems with to date with a LG HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-4040B. DVD-A will burn to them and give a "Success" message but the LG burner will not play it after it burns it. They will play on set top players however.

I have no issues with Maxell or Verbatim - or + (all speeds) R blanks.

Yea, I've had problems in the past with DVDA recognizing Memorex media also, but I think it is more of a problem with my burner, an external Sony DRX-510UL. I've had problems with this burner recognizing Memorex media outside DVDA, as well.

I´m using Memorex DVD-R and burnt about 50 in DVDA with no problems with burning or playing in computer or standalone.
I use Memorex DVD-R ink jet printable.
Tthink it is a burner issue - I use NEC 1300.
The only odd thing is that in DVDA burn window it says 2x or 3,9x and not 4x

Thanks everyone! I have a Plextor 708 and have burned on the Memorex DVD-R's with DVDX Copy with no problems. DVDA won't even give me speeds to choose. I'll try something else. Thanks again!

Run DVD Info or DVD Identifyer and see who made the disks for Memorex.

I'll do that. Is there a company we are suspicious of? Thanks!

Just tried TDK DVD-R and no go! Another person has posted that DVDA does not support the Plextor 708. I can burn +RW and +R but nothing else.

I have the same exact problem. I tried to use a Memorex DVD-R (part 3202 5510) on a Memorex DVDUR/RW 8412AJ (Memorex Dual Drive 8X (non-True8X)). Is this another bug in DVD Architect 2.0, or is this a firmware problem with the Memorex drive? I'm able to burn fine with the Memorex DVD+RW 4X media (part 3202 5560).

Regards,

I have the new Sony 700a drive and it won't burn and "-" disks using DVDA2. Other programs (xcopy) will burn "-" discs no problem. I believe the problem is not iwth the dics, but with the DVDA2 software.

I will join the growing chorus of users having problems. I just purchased the Memorex dual format burner that (supposedly) burns at 8x with both the +R and the -R format. I burned both a 4x +R (TDK media) and a 2.4x +RW (Verbatim) with no problems. However, when I put my brand new Memorex 8x DVD-R in the drive, DVDA will not recognize it. When I pull up Nero 6 and ask for Disc Info, it reports an empty DVD-R disk, so I don't think it's the burner or the media.

Ok, I have an update that is happy news. I went to Options->Preferences->General and checked the box that says "Skip drive database and read properties from the drive". This caused DVDA to recognize my 8x DVD-R discs.
