Media Scan Utility

Media Scan Utility is a disc and media diagnostics tool from Sony Storage Media, designed to verify the integrity and health of optical media (DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs) and check for read errors or corruption. It is typically used by users with large optical media libraries, archivists, or professionals who need to validate that stored discs remain readable. The app scans media and reports on any degradation or damage that might affect playback or data recovery.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">We could not find current information about Media Scan Utility in our search results, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released. Given the bundle ID prefix jp.co.sonystoragemedia, this appears to be a Sony product that may not be actively marketed in English-language channels. To determine your next steps, visit Sony's support or storage media division website and search for the latest version of Media Scan Utility — ask specifically whether a native Apple Silicon build is available. If Sony has not released a native build and does not plan to before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, the Intel-only version will stop working on that release. Given that optical media playback and diagnostics are increasingly niche, you may also want to research whether your Mac's built-in drive (if you have one) can handle disc verification, or whether a more actively maintained third-party disc utility exists as a contingency.
