While trying to compare reviews on different DVD-R media at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia, I found that dvd+rw-mediainfo did not return as much data as DVDInfoPro or DVDIdentifier when passing more than one argument. Running `dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw <RANDOM_STRINGS>`, per the source code and miscellaneous posts scattered across the web, returns a lot of debugging data. When dvd+rw-mediainfo returns the "media code", the equivalent to the ATIP information for a DVD, it only returns 44 (4+40) bytes for a DVD-R[W]. DVDInfoPro/DVDIdentifier return 48 bytes. Some media actually has data in those missing 4 bytes, including some Sonys I have.
Does anyone have an idea at what the "official" length of the media code is? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
