cdrecord does give more info (when it can of course). Example: Disk sub type: Medium Type A, low Beta category (A-) (2) Disk type: Short strategy type (Phthalocyanine or similar) Manuf. index: 3 Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corporation To find out the disk type without actually burning to ip, run "cdrecord dev=x,y,z -atip" which will print out the ATIP (Absolute Time In Pregroove) information which includes this disk type info. -- Gerard Beekmans http://www.linuxfromscratch.org http://www.beekmansworld.com // Linux Consultant --- OSDN / DevChannel // If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem
