bign5 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 i have sold 2 branded mitsubishi bd-re 50gb disc to a person. they are not working for him right and he is saying that because in the discovery mode, disc id is being displayed as tdk@@@@@@@@, that these are tdk discs and not compatible with his player. i have the same player, and it does id these discs as tdk, but they work perfectly for me. anyone know how imgburn decides on the disc maker? or has any other ideas? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I send a command to the drive, it returns the info, I display the info. The '@' obviously shouldn't be there, it should be listing the rest of the id. I doubt players would look at or care about the disc id. I'd only expect it to be of any value when burning. Get the person to copy + paste all of the disc info from the box on the right when in Write mode and send it to you... then you can post it on here.

bign5 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 yes you are right it dos'nt say @@@, it says Disc ID: TDKBLD-Wfa-000, i just could not be bothered to type the rest in, as i thought the important part was "TDK". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Oh right. Well in that case, the Disc ID is 100% accurate. As I said though, a 'player' (as in, NOT the burner) wouldn't care about the Disc ID. It would just care how readable they are. If the burner did a bad job burning them, the player would/could have a hard time reading them. Be careful not to sell those discs as 'Verbatim' BD-RE DL, they aren't. Verbatim has its own BD-RE DL discs out now that list their disc ID as 'VERBAT-IM1-000'. A brand can use any disc id/mid/dye they like. Buying Mitsubishi discs doesn't mean they can't use a TDK dye. Unless I'm feeling lucky, I never buy discs from anywhere / anyone that doesn't also list the disc id/mid/dye the discs use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
