| Going by what you posted, it is neither. It isn't made by MBIL or MKM either. You've got some non-Mitsubishi media that has "borrowed" a Mitsubishi ID. |

| Yup, fake MCC. I believe it was posted earlier but Prodisc breaks up their serials with - or + (depending on which format it is). CMC Mag does not. That is the easiest way I know to tell which is which among Verbatim. |

| It should. But I usually don't go after rectangles (I have a 25 pcs recycled Prodisc cakebox which came as Maxell 8x DVD-R with RITEK G05 which does have a rounded (!) rectangle), look for the serif font instead.

On my last visit to the shops, I chose the CMC MCC004 and avoided any possible MIS versions on purpose. Much as I like to support my local manufacturers, I have been disappointed that MIS MCC need tender care & storage with our climate here. Of course, YMMV. PS: think I can still get MIS media here, even the printable version in spindles of 50s and rather cheaply too but I passed.

| Just by looking at the cakeboxes in store, is there any way of telling the difference between CMC and Prodisc media? BTW, I'm in the UK...

The cakebox that used as an example of a Prodisc cakebox looks exactly like my CMC Verbatim 25pk cakeboxes! Plus, it seems to me that the OPEN/LOCK is actually in the times new roman type font. Thus, I conclude that the 25pk cakebox you uploaded is actually a CMC cakebox So yeah, I would agree that your method probably works on 50 & 100pks, just not on 25pks |

And isn't all CMC MCC media only Made In Taiwan instead while MIS is the only true MCC Made by Mitsubishi media?

| I am referring to retail boxes available in stores, as these are the only ones we can see before we buy. I have not seen any MIS on shelves in the US so I cannot comment on them. I have also never seen any CMC in any Prodisc case in the US but that doesn't mean it is not possible, however, the Times Roman font on the 25 box above indicates Prodisc not CMC. So use the case example for 50s and 100s if you are concerned. For the 16X media, the difference between Prodisc and CMC +R is not huge and I have had great results with the Prodics on some drives. The CMC seems to be good on a wider range. I avoid the -R from either source. |

| I've just got a 10 pack spindle of Verbatim 16X DVD+R , they are MIT "Prodisc" made , I've searched al the spindles -R or +R and all have the same normal OPEN------LOCK font , does the same theory of serif font also apply to 10 pack spindles ?

| Serif Font = CMC or Made in Singapore, for 10, 25, 50 and 100 cakeboxes! Non-serif font = If MIT then Prodisc for 10, 25, 50 and 100 cakeboxes... ???

| And by the way, not all CMC cakeboxes will have the tall top lip. Especially with 25 pcs cakeboxes it is a thing of the past. Most will have the serif font, but some CMC cakeboxes also have a non-serif font and not a tall top lip (like the Verbatim Pearl White). Pioneers, especially older Pioneers, did not properly support CMC.

| Media with CMC codes. CMC-made discs with other codes, that's another story.

I asked this because I burnt some LG CMC MAG E01 discs with an old Pioneer 109 and they didn't read on Pioneer 110 , always "unrecoverable read error" although these discs still beat my Sony MIJ , Panasonic TYG03 , Verbatim "Prodisc" MCC 004 : http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...2&postcount=95 These particular LG CMCs are the best I got from CMC , HP DVD+R ca not even touch them Bottom line is : CMC can be a total winner or a total crap

this is what I have been finding here in ths U.S. I had excellent burns with both. Prodisc made is more consistant quality for me but CMC gives me better 16x burns.


They are made in Tawain and have PAPAxxxx... on the hub. These are CMC04 media.
