You can also use Nero's speed test to identify media. It requires the disc to be in a burner though.

so you cant even get the media ID with a DVDROM?

reason why I ask is, I have a Panasonic Ldf-311 DVDRAM, and it will NOT read the media ID's it just shows up DVDR General. My Pioneer DVR-105 will though.

So is it maybe just the particular DVDROM that jung_rob is using?

You must use your burner, not a dvd-rom.
