Identifying Verbatim TY DVDs
| Blank Media Discuss, Identifying Verbatim TY DVDs at Consumables forum; Is there a simple way to identify TY Verbatim DVDs from non-TY Verbatim discs ? I keep buying Verbatim media advertised as TY but I don't see anything that proves I'm not being ripped off. What do I look for and where do I look ? |

| On the packaging, look for "Made in Japan". The 50 packs at least come in the usual TY cakebox (have a look at the TY FAQ sticky for details of the spindle/cakebox). I mention the 50 packs, as I have had 25 packs of the 8x Verb +R that had a regular cakebox with grey bottom, but all the 50 packs I've had, have had the TY cakebox. I'm guessing you're in Europe, right? 'Cos if you're in North America, you won't find the TY Verbies  Edit: Additional info - I find all mine in Staples/PC World, but SVP online have the 16x Verb TYs, too.

| What Arachne said, plus the discs themselves, if TY, will have a GGXXXXX or TGXXXXX stampercode on them, while MCC discs will have a ZDXXX-XXX... stampercode on them. Plus in case you never used DVDIdentifier or CDSpeed, both apps will report the actual model (MID) and manufacturer of the discs (but won't tell you if the discs are genuine or fake, sadly).

| The grey-bottom cakeboxes aren't really TY though, as I've bought Fuji and Sony-branded Ricoh media that were in the same cakeboxes. There actually is a smaller capacity TY cakebox but it doesn't seem to be used a whole lot outside of Japan, with the exception of Sony audio CD-Rs in 30 packs I've seen here in the US. |

I also have some Fujifilm branded Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD+R in a TY 10pc cakebox. So they have been available outside Japan under some brands.
