"No Media Detected", again and again...
That's the message I got from the LSS Diagnostic Utility after going through half a stack of these. After much frustration I stopped trying. Not a single one could be used, what a waste of money considering how much more expensive they are. The data side is OK but the printable side is useless. Might as well use a marker and draw your own design on the label. Might work for others but read the reviews around and not just here in Amazon. Why take a chance with your money? Try another brand, I know I will never buy these again.

Despite lack of colour worked great!
I actually bought the 10 pack at Target to try when we got a new HP Tower that had a Lightscribe drive. I was very happy with it. It took me a little while to figure it out but you look at the pictures and read the instructions and figure it out. Just because something is new does not mean it will eat you.
While it is a bit sad that you can not do colour in the labeling they turned out very well. I used a mid-sized background which would cover font to see how good the contrast was and was happy with it. Completely legibile, both the English words and the Chinese characters. I just ran the program as it came on the tower and was very happy. I was happy, the person it was for was happy, and the person who was using it was happy and very impressed with it (though that may be because they are still living in the era of Sharpies and printed labels - thermal printing impresses them).

Lightscribe side doesn't work
I am able to burn data to the data-side of the discs, but my HP Lightscribe DVD burner will not recognize these Memorex discs as Lightscribe discs, so a Lightscribe labels cannot be burned.

Just didn't work
My computer couldn't register them as valid media. Very frustrating. Diagnostics on my drive worked fine, and other media worked fine. Honestly, I think that Memorex just cut too many corners.

Unusable
I bought these for use with my HP DVD740e Lightscribe DVD burner. The device would not write to them. Not one of them! I have never had this problem when using similar blanks with HP and Verbatim labels. The Memorex blanks I had were made by CMC Magnetics. What a waste.
FYI - Windows users can get a small -- but distinct -- increase in label darkness with the use of a free utility found on LightScribe's site. It increases the contrast. "Best" quality labels do take longer to create.
I guess Amazon does not allow web addresses. If you want the utility, search for "Lightscribe Exstended Label Contrast Utility" without the quotes. Or you can take a big guess at the name of a commercial site devoted to LightScribe.
