dbminter Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sometimes I've seen the manufacturer's string displayed as a Manufacturer ID and sometimes as a Disc ID. Is one term just an older term for the other and is no longer used? Or is there supposed to be one term preferred over the other? Of course, I'm only going by memory, so who knows how long MID might no longer be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think it came from the dvd 'plus' and 'minus' format people. The multimedia command set just has different names for the fields that info is stored in... and the field it's stored in is different for plus and minus. They're essentially the same thing so just use whichever one you prefer. I've gone with MID in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 i thought just today I saw a use of DID/Disc ID in one of the right window fields in ImgBurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 When it's dumping the fields from a structure (response from a given command), it'll use the names of those fields as specified in the spec. But at the top of the disc info where it shows the MID of a disc in the same place for all discs, it uses MID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
