After read previous threads in this forum about Identiftying DVD Manufacture and Media ID, I was very curious and decided to test several media using DVD identifier.
The result was quite accurate as you described, but I found there was very cheap DVD Media branded as Kachi and other not-too cheap media Mediatech displayed as manufactured by Mitsubishi..
I wonder if this is
fake Media ID or
probably just second-grade media from Mitsubishi
The reason I had my doubts because this media is very cheap, about 0.2 US$/pc while Mitsubishi around 0.3/pc
Here's my complete test:
Kachi-blue (blue means color of the front side/brand label)
