What dvd brand do i have?

[Crash-n-Burn]

I ordered 100dvd discs over a year ago and just used them all and would like to order some more of the same brand, but....i forgot the brand. It was either accu or ritek. Is there anyone i can check on a dvd that has stuff burned to it?

[Capmaster]

Sure. Download a free copy of DVDInfo Pro and fire it up with one of the burned DVDs in the writer. Use the Media info button and it'll give you the media ID and other information that'll help you identify it

is the media code, i dont know where to search for what dvd it is.

[Capmaster]

Look for the "media ID". That isn't the right information you posted there.

It says command 006h returned illegal command.

I used to get that error with my external firewire writer. I didn't find any way around it.

Look through the tools

and see if there's another DVD information tool you could use.

What kind of writer do you have?

Sony DRX-500UL

mmmmm old school, i got it the week it came out.

[mastersmurfie]

you could use DVDDecrypter

under Mode->ISO->Read

and find the MediaID

(just verified with a burned DVD from about a year ago...comes back as TTG01...which is TDK DVD-R 4x)

I have versoin 3.5.1 the newest one thats out, they must have changed alot of things.

[Shocker Milwaukee]

Good call Mastersmurfie. I was hoping he had a LiteOn, so as to point him to Kprobe, but DVDDC is an excellent subsitute. I would recommend downloading the latest version & following your course of action.

OK...I just D/L 3.5.1 and get the same MediaID code...

just put in the very first DVD that I ever backed up...and got this:



I'm pretty sure it was a Memorex DVD-R...

Just go buy yourself some taiyo yuden

There should be a specific instruction for getting the media ID.

But like mastersmurfie's, it should show in the window. In his case it's CMC media. "Manufacturer ID"

CMC.....That's barbaric.
