Mac DVD Media Code App???

[ksonone]

This is my first post in this forum. I have been coming here for a while and finding lots of useful info. I am wondering if there is an app out there for the Mac to find out media codes. PC Users have DVDInfoPro and DVDIdentifier. Do we have any similar apps on the Mac?

thanks,

I asked the same question before and the group answer I got from this fourm and from PC people from a dvd info site was...... no.

Updated the core tools to their latest versions.
Hopefully a lot more drives should now be supported
Extended the beta period time until 15 January 2005, which will more likely give me the time to release a clean version. I'm targetting the new version for the beginning of September.

I dont see anywhere in this description media code reading ability!!

It seems to be able to read CDR/RW codes only, displaying the dye type as well as the manufacturer. It doesn't seem to work on DVD's.
