DVD Identifier' retrieves and interprets the pre-recorded information that is present on all DVD+R/+RW and DVD-R/-RW media

Changes in latest version (V3.2 - released November 16, 2003) :
The speeds at which the drive is capable of writing on a specific disc are now also reported. Previously only the disc's recording speed capabilities, regardless of the drive's capabilities, were reported.
Completely rewritten help-file which is now available in HTML help format.
Implemented a workaround to solve the issue of getting no (or corrupted) disc information on some configurations with extra IDE controllers.
Fixed a drive hang on (at least) one type of DVD-R/-RW writer.
