Is there a simple program that can read a CD-R and tell who its manufacturer was? I believe EAC has this feature, but its a bit of overkill. Thanks Deke -- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

A few years ago I burned a lot of discs using the DirectCD packet writing software before I gaave it up due to many disc failures and lost data. I think I was using the Adaptec EasyCD cremator 3.5c and whatever version of DirectCD that came with that. Here's my question: Now that I want to copy...

I just bought my first DVD burner - the Plextor 716A - and was wondering if there's a consensus as to the best burning software to use with Plextor drives. It came with Plextools Pro and Roxio. Right now I use Nero for CD burning so I'm also thinking of upgrading to Nero 6 which includes...
