MediaTypes of CD/DVD in registry

39 Views Asked by At

I need to determine the type of disc is CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, ... I have found a registry key to view information about them:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives\Volume{%GUID%}\Current Media

In this key, it have a DWORD value Media Type. I think based on ths value ​​I can classify disc types. But I can't find any documentation that mentions them. Currently, I can only try with CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RW and find out what their values ​​are:

Type Value
CD-R 0x02 (2)
CD-RW 0x04 (4)
DVD-RW 0x40 (64)

Does anyone know anything about this Media Type, and what documentation mentions it?
