Determining Manufacturer of DVD-R

[nash]

Hi,
I bought a spindle of Verbatim DVD-R's and I'm trying to find the Manufacturer ID in DVD Decrypter (ver 3.1.6.0) and I'm having no luck. Is this the wrong place to look? These are the results of DVD Decrypter's analysis (I'm using a Matshita LF-D310):

Device Information:
Current Profile: DVD-R

Disc Information:
Status: Empty
Erasable: No
Free Sectors: 2,298,496
Free Space: 4,707,319,808 bytes
Free Time: 510:48:46 (MM:SS:FF)
Maximum Write Rate: 1,386 KB/s (1x)

Physical Format Information:
Book Type: DVD-R
Part Version: 5
Disc Size: 120mm
Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified
Number of Layers: 1
Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP)
Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit
Track Density: 0.74 um/track

The command that retrieves that data probably failed. If it failed, it probably means there isnt any such data recorded on the disc.

Weird, I know that some batches of Verbatims are CMC but why wouldn't the info even show up? I've only tried two brands of media so I don't know if it's the drive or not. I'll have to buy and test more media I guess.

Hmm...being a dvdram drive, perhaps it just doesnt support the required commands.

Enable I/O debug mode and then insert a disc whilst in ISO write mode.

Copy + paste the entire log, I'll then tell you if the command worked or not.

My goodness, I didn't even realize the drive was DVD-RAM compatible until now. I always saw it being identified as a DVD-RAM drive but I never realized it until now. I always thought the tray looked a little weird because it's supposed to be compatible with the cartridges. I'll post the log when I get a chance. Thanks a lot!

I switched from SPTI (which it was on by default) to ASPI midway. Thanks for taking your time to help me out.

Yup, it seems I was right. Its not supported.

Sense 24 00 means 'Invalid Field in CDB'
The invalid field is the 0E bit. The 0E bit is what says it wants to know the pre-recorded bit from the disc. Its the pre-recorded bit that stores the discs manufacturer id.

Phew....hope that solves the problem?!

Oh btw, you can leave it on SPTI. ASPI is for Windows 9x machines.

sigh. Any other way of finding this information short of buying/using another DVD recorder?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

erm no, not unless your reader (if you have one?) can read it.

Use Nero InfoTool

[nash]

Using Nero InfoTool I don't see anything regarding Manufacturer in the "Disc" tab.

Also, it includes DVD-RW as a Supported Write Feature (from the "Drive" tab) but I know my drive doesn't support writing to DVD-RW.

As your burner do not allow OE record reading, no software can have access to these data.
