Piodata DVD-R 8X identified as TY G03? / List of DVD codes?

[chas0039]

I have a two part question. First, I have a piece of Piodata 8X DVD-R which identifies as TYG02 and I feel certain it is not Taiyo Yuden, as their IDs seem to be "Yuden". Any idea what this is, also quality, and any ideas where to find a listing of what codes lead to what companies?

Thanks.

No, I think that is legit. TY is the id for Taiyo Yuden DVD-R discs.

Yuden is for their newer DVD+R media. I have read a lot of reports of the PIOdata 8x DVD-R being Taiyo Yuden. Also, these discs are not cheap so I dont doubt they are not Taiyo Yuden.

As for your second question!! This is THE place to look for that. No other site on the internet has a database that can match Dvdrhelp's. Just click on DVD MEDIA tab on your left.

Search by brand, Manufactuer's Id, Speed, Media code, What you may.

Cheers.

www.nomorecoasters.com is a good place to start.

Then make your way over here to the MEDIA reports.

Thanks, but I checked here already for TY and Piodata and 8X and there is nothing to date. The Piodata listed here is Taiwan and 4X and considered landfill. Any links to information about the Japan 8X would be appreciated.

Added: I just spotted this at another site, you are correct, much appreciated.

Good.. Now you should add it to the media list for the next person who comes along wondering..

Cheers and enjoy your 8x burning.

Piodata OEM'd Taiyo Yuden for 8x media.

Their 4x is still Lead Data.

The 8x TY from PioData won't last long. LeadData, CMC, and other great media OEMs are getting reading to release their 8x DVD-R media.

Maxell and MCC are already available in parts of Asia.

Also coming to a store near you is Ritek's BRANDED line of Ridata products. Including memory, media, and drives.

A few more errors too. Need to define the colums, a little hard to read like that.

MEI is Panasonic
MCI is Mitsui
LG is well LG Electronics
MBI is Moser Bauer INC
The others are popular (MCC,MXL,CMC,PVC), or self explained.
