Help with backing up DVDs - Inside Man and Pirates of the Caribbean 2

I don't get it? What's the difference between the CD's? Is it brand? Cause the one i was using was from Memorex. Anyways, i put in a Memorex DVD +RW and apparently the burning is at 20% now. I really hope it works. But now i have around 200 of the previous DVD's from the same brand, and i'm wondering why they don't work? And can i at least use them for storing data then? halp!

 

Oh yeah, i got it to work! Thanks for your help!

 

congrats 2 the newb

You have 200 of the Memorex DVD's as you stated that do not work any longer. Most Memorex DVD's are made by CMC and they really are low quality DVD's. They might work today but as you have found out that they do not work later in life. That is why you need to use Quality blank media. Try the blank media I suggested. I have DVD's that I recorded 4+ years ago and they play fine but I used Quality blank media. If you are in the US, BestBuy usually has the Verbatim DVD's on sale at least 1 time a month and that price is less than what you would pay for the Memorex DVD's.
