software needed to identify which brand of blank DVD I'm using ?

[beammeup]

Hi,

I am suspicious of the latest batch of 100 x TY DVDs Im currently using and would like
to test a few blank ones to see if they're the real thing or cheapies !

I used to have a program years ago, but can't remember it's name to re locate it.

thanks
Scotty

DVD Identifier is one, but ImgBurn will also tell you the manufacturer code of a disc.

Media ID can be faked too.
For fake TY, knowing the country of origin and whether the seller is an authorized merchant is a must. Sometimes you can check out the disc stamper codes in the hub, although I've heard of those being faked, too.

See http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/media for more info on these topics.

A program can't tell you whether they are fake. Media codes mean nothing in regards to authenticity.

With a magnifying glass, look around the hub of the discs for a stamped code. Post what the first 6 or so letters of the code are here.
