If you look to the left for 'DVD Media', there is a link to finding out the media code: https://www.videohelp.com/dvdmediaform.php?dvdinfo=1#dvdinfo

Also be aware there is a economy version of TY media available, made by TY. It works quite well for me, but it's not the same as their 'top of the line' media.

For general DVD media information, take a look at lordsmurf's site: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/ If you look around there, there is a 'fake media' information section.

This is what i got,

Is this the real media code and not the fake?

[lordsmurf]

Look at the disc. What are the serial codes in the hub?

What do you mean by that mate?

There is one on the T.O.C area:
GH000144

On the plastic bit near where the spindle goes thru the hole it says on one side of the circle:
JG6

The other side:
JG6YSA136331GH I THINK!

very hard to see!

now by this can u tell if its real?
