firewired:
You need to download DVDInfoPro for reading the DVD+R's media code. Additionally, you can use the software to test for drive speed and possible media errors.

If you want to cross-reference your findings with other users, visit VideoHelp.com. They run a fairly comprehensive database of branded and generic media ratings. Please note that even if certain DVD+Rs have the same brand/make, chances are you're testing discs from different batches so results may vary greatly from country to country. 

In reporting media performance, please state the following:

1. Media code
2. Physical description of the disc
3. Place of purchase
4. Price per piece
5. Claimed burn speed and the speed you burned at
6. DVDInfoPro media test for read errors
7. Test platforms (DVD-ROM and standalone players)
8. Notes (if any)
