    Anwell is the supplier of optical media manufacturing lines. Their main factory (in which is the machinery made) is located in Dongguan, China.
    Anwell's equipment is used by many companies from Hong Kong and China, for example by Promedia ("Sky" brand) or Mirage. Infosmart bought their Blu Ray line (for SL and DL ROM media) just a few months ago. But now they are in media manufacturing business too - they bought their former customers Umedisc, Henan Kerry & Jilin Quingda. These companies are now operating under one name - Umedisc and they are making media with AML and UME MID codes, Plasmon ATIP codes and some faked media (DL DVDs with Ricoh MIDs). Umedisc is OEM manufacturing for example for Kodak, Samsung, Aone, Omega, etc.

    No problem.
    Yes, Umedisc is probably the biggest faker of DL DVD media. But the media with UMEDISC-DL1-64 recently start to appearing in Germany, UK and Poland. w00t.gifthumbup1.gif

    Thanks for the info (and also to you Aramchek!) I'd like to try out some of those UMEDISC DL MIDs since Verbatim MKM DLs are still too expensive (for me) to use as throwaways. As long as they don't self-destruct as quickly as Ritek G05s and are compatible with SAPs, I'll willingly stock up on those.

    Has anyone posted any scans on UMEDISC-DL1-64 media? It would be interesting to see, at least for me!

    No problem.
    I would like to get some UMEDISC-DL1-64, or at least see some test results too. I will try to buy some Omega or Titanum media (which are usually made by Umedisc) during the weekend.

    I've also seen Titanium media, but I'm not sure if I've seen DL Titanium discs before. Hopefully the media will become more accessible in retail stores and become a viable alternative to expensive DL media.

    all I can say if that I've finally had the guts to check some 4 year old MAM-E branded TTH01, and they look wonderful

    they were burned on a Pioneer 108 at 8X, and I've checked them in some Liteon DVD player w/ Kprobe2 at 6X....they yield better results than freshly burned MCC030RG20

    two things matter for DVD-R life span, the error rates and the perinity of the dye..you can get good burns that turn unreadable in a few months(my Vivastar media were like that ), same goes Princo and all the cheap stuff.

    either they were making TTH01 discs for TDK, or they were licensing their dye(the PM told me several times that they were also "outsourcing" media).

    my sister bought some genuine TTH01 TDK retail discs at the same period, and they had the same internal code(like DVRxxxx for MCC03RG20), but didn't have the black writing in the hub.

    MAM-E was officially making TTH01.

    Hmm not so sure about that looking at data from other parties.
    That 30% is a to high estimate. It would mean that UMEDISC is the only chinese manufacturer (that is borrowing Ricoh's code), which is proven to not be true.
    Keep in mind no big retail brands seem to use Umedisc for dual layer media so far.

    Intenso uses UmeDisc only for their DLs - its a brand thats very widespread here in small and big local stores
    Kodak DLs also start to appear (but can be Ume or MBI)

    oops I meant ZD____-DVR-___

    is that the stamper code?

    anyhow these 4 yo TTH01 yield much better scans than my 4yo TYG01/2yo TYG02/brand new MCC03RG20

    I might switch to TTH02 next time I buy media, I think they're still available.....I've had some very bad CMC made MCC03RG20 batches, only the Prodisc were good...

    EDIT: oops TTH02 is very bad apparently, will stick to MCC03RG20 :

    On the flip side, others have had more success with CMC rather than Prodisc. Personally, I'd take either and just hope that I get good scans out of it - I'm pretty much assured though that burning at the right settings ensures a good disc even without scans. Although they (neo-Verbs) scan worse than older MCC media, compatibility and long-term stability is still top-notch.

    Has anyone posted scans on those new DL yet? I still haven't found UMEDISC DLs locally, just lots of Riteks and CMCs.

    yeah, the MCC02RG20 were giving much better scans than the MCC03RG20.....but well media perinity is apparently very good, coz the dye is very stable

    getting 20 PI(on TTH01) or 100(on MCC03RG20) in KProbe2 doesn't really matter to me, it's all very readable...PIF are always <5(it's a DVD reader so it can only be compared to its own scans)

    well my bad CMC MCC03RG20 had very bad edges, some of them even had missing dye spikes at the very outer edge
