Taiyo Yuden

I recently purchased a 100-pack of TY 8x DVD-R white printable from
Supermediastore. How do I know that what I bought is really Taiyo Yuden?
The imprint on the clear plastic inner hub is LM534Y107097GG.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It's not clear what you mean by "real". If you mean made by T-Y, you
can't be sure. The only indication is that if they were not "Made in
Japan", they are rebadged. (Or, at least, when last I checked T-Y
manufactured only in Japan.)

It may be worth your time to check the entry in the ATIP. I use DVDInfo
Pro but other products are available.

The "best" way I know is to examine the packaging and look for "Made in
Japan" marking, and buy from reputable seller. And those DiscInfo
softwares are practically useless as they would all list the
manufacturer as Taiyo Yuden.

Again, there is no sure fire way to determine that. If there is, there
won't be long threads like these:

Thank you!

SupermediaStore does not sell faked TY without specifying that it's fake.
But if you want to be 100% sure, buy from www.rima.com.

Real TY must have a dye lot number on the dye side of the disc. It will be
very difficult to see on pintables.
On G02 (8x -R), the number will begin with GG000. It's in the inner band of
dye, looks like it was burned onto the dye.

Thank you very kindly. Mine has GG000106 on the dye side. (Very hard to
see -
especially with these old eyes. . . .)

As others have said, Make sure the lablel has "Made in Japan" also, you
can check the MID code using DVDInfo Pro or Nero CD checker..
