How to determind MID of recordable media whose Type is set to DVD-ROM?

[dbminter]

I received a made on demand recordable dual layer DVD from Amazon.com.  I don't know if it's a DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL.  I just know it's 2 layers and that it's a recordable disc.  It's Type has been set to DVD-ROM so there is no MID field being displayed by ImgBurn.

 

 

Is there a way to get the DID for this media from ImgBurn?  I want to know if they've used a cheap ass dual layer DVD disc to make this DVD.

 

 

Thanks!

Noting in read or write modes when that blank is in the drive?

 

Can you post the disc info from both modes from any and all drives you have in your PC at the moment please?

[dbminter]

I get info in the panes but no MID.

 

 

It's not a blank.  It's an already recorded writable DVD.

 

 

What's weird is this on all 3 discs of American Dad! Volume 9.  However, Volume 10 of American Dad! returns MID's.    I checked the bottom of the Volume 9 discs and they are recordable discs.  So, Amazon.com is correct when they list it is manufactured on demand.  The Volume 10 discs are DVD+R DL's I'm guessing since the MID is MKM indicative of the kind I use.

I guess they must be DVD+R DL rather than DVD-R DL if the booktype is showing up as DVD-ROM.... after all, it isn't supported with DVD-R (minus) format discs. It's odd that the drive doesn't list the current profile correctly though. Are you sure it's a recorded disc?

 

Is there anything stamped around the middle of the discs? Maybe you could match a code up to a manufacturer.

[dbminter]

All indications are they are recordable discs.  Amazon.com says these were "DVD-R" manufactured on demand.  The bottom of the discs are red/purple, indicative of being a recordable disc.  The labels on them are glossy, indicative that they were printed in a printer.  The labels have bar codes on them.  The earlier American Dad! discs don't have bar codes on the labels.

 

 

There's nothing in the inner ring so I can't get any kind of manufacturer information.

I've no idea then db, sorry.
