Please show the drive type used to write a DVD-R and DVD-RW after right clicking the optical drive name from the top left list, then "Media Info" on the context menu.

It appears to be part of the DVD standard that optical drives write their model name ("recorder information") on DVD-R and DVD-RW, but not their plus counterparts, DVD+R and DVD+RW.

On Windows, Nero DiscSpeed can show the drive type used to record a DVD-R and DVD-RW.

While this feature is not essential to creating discs, it would still be a helpful addition and it seems easy to implement, since all it does is reading some text from the disc and putting it in a box.
