quantumred Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Recorder information is normally stored on a burned disc for DVD-R but not DVD+R, at least that is my understanding. CD-DVD Speed adds recorder information to DVD+R and DVR+R DL allowing it to be read back at a later time when doing a disc quality scan. http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=187999 It would be very nice if imgburn could store the same information in a compatible way so we can tell what burner was used when we rescan our discs in the future.
quantumred Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 Even more ideal would be: Recorder - Firmware - Burn Speed - Date Example: BenQ DW1650 - BCHC - 8x - 07-30-06 I realize the date is stored when you originally burn the disc, however if you do a disc copy, the original date is retained and not the newly burned date. So recording the date it was actually burned would help.

quantumred Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 That looks like some of it. Maybe some screens will help: The first screen shows the CD-DVD Speed Disc Info tab for a DVD-R disc. Notice the "Recorder information" field is populated. The second screen shows and example of a disc quality scan and you can see the recorder information on the screen. The third screen shows a DVD+R. Notice there is no "Recorder information" field and it does not appear on the following scan. DVD+R recorders do not normally save this information while DVD-R recorders do. The point is, the CD-DVD Speed author has developed a way to somehow store the recorder information on a DVD+R, even though normally it is not stored by the recorder, when burning disks with CD-DVD Speed. If Lightning UK can duplicate this when we burn +r with imgburn, then we can have recorder information on +r when we scan with CD-DVD Speed.

A sharpie marker will take care of a lot of things without making the program bloated and huge
