    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.
    “If Ernest Hemingway was going to go big-game hunting in Africa, Hunter S. Thompson wanted to use a submachine gun to hunt wild boar in Big Sur, Calif. He was dangerous, like handling nitroglycerin, and he liked to keep it that way.”

    If you use Nero, then the Nero Infotool will give you that information.

    I found DVD Identifier earlier today. Seems to work fine for my needs. Thanks for all the pointers.
