Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - how getting difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW

hellraizor · 17-07-2003

I use NeroCmd from SDK1.02 and a the DVD recorder from LG
"HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4020B". Sorry I don`t know the frimware.

I tried an empty DVD-R (from Sony 2x) and NeroCmd returns
"DVD-R".
In this case m_NeroCDInfo->ncdiMediaType returns MEDIA_DVD_M_R.
That`s okay.

But when I use a not empty DVD-RW (Maxell) NeroCmd returns "DVD-R/RW".
In fact m_NeroCDInfo->ncdiMediaType returns MEDIA_DVD_M.

But I helped myself.
When I get MEDIA_DVD_M I also use the old NERO_MEDIUM_TYPE. When it says NMT_CD_REWRITABLE I know that must be a DVD-RW.

Maybe you can reproduces this on your local computer?
