Checking DVD-Media on a Mac?

[drone]

Hi,
are there any tools to check the media id on dvd-r blanks like on the pc for the mac? would help to identify the media I test for a pioneer 105.

thx

I do not know of such a program, but I have the same DVD-R. I had success with some DVDs, but not with others. I found that Ritek work well and they are cheap. For the best compatability with SA DVD players, the Samsung are about the best you can get, esp. for the price.

A good spot to by media is meritline.com and they list all the media that works with the 105.

I know this is not what you asked, but I hope it helps.

I use Ritek (1X) DVD-R. I have a old promo code that http://www.atdiscount.com/ still honors. If you place an order for the (1X) Ritek DVD-R's on a 100 spindle and enter in this promo code #00231 as you proceed to order it will change you price to $0.84 a disc. I guess it's a good idea to keep old promo codes. Check it out I haven't seen a better price on Ritek media in a while.

For mac that is.

I think Missing Media Burner gives some feedback in the terminal with specific disk information.

Does VirtualPC not work with the PC software?

VPC runs PC programs, but I don't like having inferior programs on my machine :P

actually, it doesnt work on VPC
something about not fully supporting the DVD function of the drive
probably with new VPC it will but thats not for a while...
