Well Memorex has a good name but I sure would think they could have a better research team. Seems the vendor that thay had break down the 100 pack DVD+R's to 2-50 packs put them on a 50 pack CD spindle's instead of DVD spindles. This resulted in only putting 40 DVD+R's on a spindle instead of 50 because the DVD media is thicker than the CD-R media. The vender ended up getting lots of perks after that because they had 20 DVD+R's left over after every 1-100 spindle breakdown. I had brought this to their attention and they replaced the missing DVD's but left the product, part # 3202 5557 on the market hoping nobody would figure it out. I have had people send private messages on the forum asking me who to call about the issue and how I got the DVD's replaced. I guess you just can't reley on the packageing on the outside really being on the inside what it says it is. So as to the end of this if you have bought a 50 pack of Memorex DVD+R's you better check it out because they didn't pull the product! Count your DVD's and make sure you got what you paid for. Sturgis out, we gone bye bye.
