How to find Mfr. of "Store-Brand" DVD/CD-R Media
I found a link to a program in the DVD Recorder (home theater) forum[/url at the AVS Forum. Once the program was installed you would insert a Staples-branded (for example) DVD-R into your PC's DVD-R drive and see that the disc was made by CMC. The problem is that I have lost track of the link. I plan to use Taiyo Yuden discs fairly exclusively for archiving lots of S-VHS tapes as well as making backups of some DVDs that I own. Does anyone know of such a program?
Also, here is a useful link to blank media quality - http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm The table at the bottom of the page is a branding guide.
