LDDb Mint-o-Matic™

The Mint-o-Matic™ will try to help you make some sense of those cryptic marks found on the inner circle of mist LaserDiscs. They usually come in two groups:

  • The video master reference (stamped, embedded or hand-written)
The video master reference is the one we need to identify a manufacturer with a high level of probability.

Starting mid-1990's, the scheme changed somehow to also used the AAAA000000AA such as SESA021316YY (CLD-D925) or BBTT006968JP (HLD-X9).
