Greetings
I just bought a cheap Gigamax dvd-r 16x 10-spindle, that cost about 20 cents a piece. I was astonished when I used DiscSpeed to find that the media is a verbatim MCC 03RG20
Could that be a fake media, specially at that low price? Or is it the real thing? How do I know?
Anyway, here is the info I got from DiscSpeed 4.11.2.0:

I failed to run a cd quality test because the start button is grayed out, I don’t know why…
