One could argue that it is only a matter of looking at the label of the blank media to find out about the manufacturer but the information presented there is not always reliable. It can happen that the brand name differs from the manufacturer and it is not uncommon that a brand makes use of several manufacturers for the same product line.

DVD Identifier is a software program that can identify and display the information that is recorded on the blank media. The main interface of DVD Identifier will display various information about the default writer – be it DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray. Some of the information provided include the write capabilities of the drive which gives the user an understanding of the support media types.

The Identify button becomes active after putting a blank disk into the drive. A click on the button will start the identification which consults a manufacturer database that gets updated regularly.
