Memorex DVD+RW with Gateway AR-230

How do you know they are the same brand? "Memorex" doesn't make blank DVD's,
they are made by other companies and Memorex can change suppliers at any
time.

Japanese brands are the best, look for "Made in Japan" on blank DVD's when
you buy them.

There are utilities, like Nero InfoTool that will show you the manufacturer
of a DVD, it will be something like "TY" or "CMC".

The reason I said they are the same brand because they both have
"Memorex" labels on both the package as well as the DVD+RWs. I
understand that Memorex probably is not the one actually manurfacture
these and they outsourced to someone else. The one I bought is made in
Taiwan. I have no idea that different DVD+RWs produced by difference
country, even of the same brand, will have different results on
different DVD players.

By the way, I called Gateway, and they are of no help at all!  All they
can say is "use a different brand!" Well, thanks a lot!
