Verbatim's MCC code likely next target for MID fakers

June 26, 2005

Forum
member dakhaas, who has already proved to know more than the average user on
fake Manufacturer Identification Codes, has posted a warning in the media forum.
According to him there is a reason to assume that no longer only Taiyo Yuden
MID's will be faked (more information) but also the MCC media code from
Mitsubishi/Verbatim is a likely target for factories that use an unlicensed
MID.

Currently I
have any reason to assume that the market soon will be flooded with disc's
containing TYG03 code or YUDEN000T03 code. Mostly the
media will be printable and coming from Hong
Kong.

However
according to the latest information we
will see less Hong Kong 8x media with fake Taiyo Yuden code but we will
see more with MCC code.

Dakhaas recommends to only purchase Mitsubishi/Verbatim branded media with a MCC media code to avoid
purchasing low quality fake discs. Read the orignal post in our Blank DVD
Media Forum.
