Blank CD-R Media Serial Numbers

Hi all.

I am looking for a small program that will display the serial number of a blank CD-R / CD-RW prior to burning. This is so that I can use the number as the name of the CD when I am ready to copy files.

Thanks.

If you mean the volume serial number, that is generated when you write, and depends on what you write.

You can get the ATIP codes off the blank, but they will not change from blank to blank of the same type.

The serial number printed in the hub area is not stored.


Have I missed the point here, it just seems a strange thing to try to do?

Hi there and thanks for the reply.

I have just been using a program called CD Cataloguer which as it says catalogues all the files listed on CD's and DVD's that it scans, and it shows the "Disk Volume Label" what is inserted when you burn the disk, and the "Disk Serial Number" (eg 8BFEAD42), "File System" (eg CDFS, UDF1), the date the disk was scanned and then finally the amount of space written to disk. Every disk that I have scanned so far, totaling over 100 has had a different serial number.

I did try a blank CD and it also showed its own unique serial number, but what I was looking for was a small program, if there is one that starts up quickly and displays the serial number of the CD / DVD beforehand so that I can then use this s/n as the Volume Label.

Hope this made sense.
