media code translation

[Jraf]

It seems that the brand on the DVD does not mean much. More interesting is the media code. But wich translation for a code ?

Ricoh : made by ricoh
Ritek : made by ritek
MCC : Mitsubishi chemical company
CMC : ?
MBI : ?
? : ?

made by ???
Japan, Taiwan, ... ?
big company, small company,.. ??
Reliable ?

For example I've heard Gigastorage belongs to Riteks and uses the same processes ===> Gigastorage = Ritek ?

Any information welcome !

TY = Taiyo Yuden
MBI = Moser Baer India
CMC = No clue
PVC = Pioneer
MXL = Maxell

I could go on and on. There are too numerous. Use the DVD Media tab on the left (<----) to help you with codes.

In the end, you should go less by hearsay and more with what works for YOU.

Cheers.
