How do you tell if cdr's are Taiyo Yuden?

[Sbud]

Title says it all.

Go here and find the program called CDR Identifier. That's all you need!

If you wanna know from the packaging, look for the Made in Japan. I don't know of any other Japanese CD-R manufacturer.

If you have a CD burner that can read the ATIP of CDRs, you can use CDR Identifier to reveal the manufacturer of CDRs.

Also the Plextor software can read it, I think the Adaptec can. I am not sure about Nero.

Isn't Mitsui Japanese also? Most of the Fuji's that I've seen are TY. I've also heard that the HP 74min are as well.

Nice call! I wouldn't mind having those in my spindle either.

I got some at Office Max a few weeks ago and they were indeed Taiyo Yudens.

One of the most reputable CD-R manufacturers. I use Taiyo Yuden-made blanks sold by HP, and they work beautifully.

Some of the Imations are Taiyo Yuden also. All of the Fuji's I buy have been. HP's usually are. TDK has gone from them doing it themselves to Ritek so I stay away from them now that I know this. (even tho I never had a problem with them)
