dvd r manufacture code?

I read about the the manufacture's code to see where the the disc was made. But where is it located?

 

there is a code on the inner hub, but i think the id code you are looking for is who made it. download this proggy to identify your media.
(this will tell you about media)

and this will ID your media

hi

i use dvdinfo pro or dvd identifier or dvd decrypter to tell me the id codes...

i use Ritek brand and [Ritek GO5] dye

 

where do you get these [Ritek GO5] and what do they run? and thanks for the help.

 

The ritek g05 mid code media that I know of for sure,on local on sale media:

Maxell dash 8x gold tops that say on the label: Made in Taiwan. On sale at local stores like office depot and staples for 35-40 cents apiece.The japanese gold tops are made by hitachi:MXL-RG03.Also very good.


Office depot brand dash 8x media. On sale this week,buy 1 50 pack spindle for $35 and get 2 spindles free. That's around 25 cents apiece. Their last sale was for 28 to 30 cents apiece.That current sale is a heck of a low price.

I just spent my wad on fuji tys at staples for 30 cents apiece.Another great price for ty-g02 and Yuden000-T02 fujis.Both these are made in japan.

If ordering off the net,try rima/supermediastore/meritline/americal.com

 

i got some fuji that were made by ritek r03 are these any good?

 

how about verbatim made by mcc mitsbushi chemical corp 003 and what is mode sense is obsolete and not always properly supported?

 

Ritek R03: Very good taiwanese media. It's the MID code on maxell +8x,made in taiwan. It's also on the Office depot +8x brand media. I just burned 300 of those office depot 8x and only 1 bad playback coaster. There's a sale this week on them as well at Office depot.



Verbatim MCC-003: Excellent quality media,produced in taiwan. These are the 8x verbatim plus format on both full hub printable and non printable verbatim data life plus! These are another of my favorite,especially the full hub inkjet printables.Between the verbatim data life plus and taiyo yuden,they feature the Metal Azo dye which is some of the best.

I'm not sure what you mean here:

 

what is mode sense is obsolete and not always properly supported? is on dvd identifier drive capabilities tab

@ spidervik
is that an OEM drive or did you buy it seperate. there is a later firmware for that drive, i think. i have the same drive, but its an OEM, i have not flashed mine. i have BPSA f/w still, but it works with all media so far.
