Can you use Memorex 16x 4.7gb dvd+r discs? If not what would be the best to use? And can you watch what's record on TV? Thanks.

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

Yes you can use DVD+R and DVD-R discs and many others had no problems they all work great, as far as brand i use Memorex have had no problems with them not a big fan of Sony discs tho had problems with them in the past, and yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

You can, as long as you are using rewritable DVDs - those are the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I use DVD+RW for TV programs and it works great - the other thing I like is that DVD+RW is the only disc format that will play in other units without needing to be finalized. When you load the recorded DVD+RW into another player it will start playing from the beginning and you can just skip ahead to the desired point. When you are ready to reuse the disc, just load it into the recorder and you can either reformat it or delete the titles to free up space (I just delete the titles on mine). Then you're all set to record again on that same disc. Good luck - hope this helps!

On a Memorex 8.5 GB 8 X Double Layer DVD+R disc, the double layer is located entirely on the lower side of the disc. The top side of the disc (where the label appears) has no capacity for recording.

According to the manual for the DMR-EA-18. the following disks can be used: DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, +R, +r DL, and +RW. DVD-R DL is usable, but finalization is needed, and it will record only 4:3 aspect ratio. -R DL disks can only be played on equipment compatible with these discs. DVD RAM is rewritable, can record a 16:9 picture, and can record broadcasts that allow only one copy. So the answer is yes, but.

For one thing that I discovered a bit too late is that the DVD -R are hit an miss. A lot of people have had success with them, and I and a number of others haven't. I bought a package of 100 dics and not one works. I can store to them, some of them, but later can not access them on two different laptops including the one I used to burn to. I am now using the +R without issues, so far on the same laptops, which are ACER Aspire's: one running Vista and the other running WIN 7.

Check this out: Magnavox MDR557H/F7 1Terabyte Hard Disc Drive Digital Video Disc Recorder I connected an old vhs player and copied my tapes onto the drive. I could edit them, etc. and then transfer them to DVDs. It is great to have for every day use. You would love it!! You can record tv etc.

Be sure you have a recorder that can use +R media first. Some recorders only work with -R media. Also be sure you DVD recorder can burn to Double Layer discs (the DL in the name.) These hold as much as a standard DVD you might rent or buy from the store, so I typically would not put HD content on them anyway. One of these discs recorded with content will play just fine in MOST standard DVD players. I say MOST as occasionally I have found a player that does not like to play -R or +R home recorded material. Hope this helps.

I have a vcr/dvd combo unit that records both vcr's & dvd's & and yes these blank dvd's are some of the best medium you can purchase. I get a lot fewer coasters with verbatim than Memorex, tdk, & sony.

DVD-R are more compatible with Players & have a little more memory almost 4.7 GB. DVD+DL & DVD-DL are for recording 8.5 GB on Two Layers with Dual Layers DVD+DL & DVD-DL. I use DVD-R for 4.7 GB & DVD+DL for 8.5 GB

You can only 'continually record' over DVD ReWritable discs. The RW only mean Read Write. The disc has to say 'Rewritable', also. Usually noted below the DVD+RW or DVD-RW on the front of the disc.

I can't answer this question because I have not been able to record on them. The DVD recorder says there is not enough space to record, and none of my burners can recognize or pick up that a DVD is inserted. I have tried different one including Roxio and nothing recognizes them. Other DVDs work with no problem but these have turned out to be no good for some reason or another.

Hi, it sounds like you are using DVR RW's? Do they say RW on them? That usually means you can rewrite on them. The -R discs only let you write on them once and then it is final. If you insert the disc it should not format it. If I burn songs or files onto one of these and put it in my DVD drive it will only let me listen to the songs or look at the files. It will not let me burn anything else on them. Hope that helps.

I've been reading so many reviews and can't remember where I saw the recommendation to use a '32 GB Card' for best or extended video usage. Anybody know what's best? Thanx!

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want) A better question is what format will it not play.
