Book type setting - compatiability with optical drive

Recommended Posts

I am having issues with setting the book type from DVD+R to DVD-ROM.  I have both an LG BH14NS40 and a LiteOn iHBS112 2 CL0K that I use for burning CD-R, DVD-R, and BD-R.  I typically burn with the LG and scan with the iHBS112.

 

I want to set my DVD+R to DVD-ROM to make them more compatible with playing in our minivan (for my kids).

 

Are neither of my two drives able to change the book type?

 

I would also like to reset DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM if that is possible.  Is it?

 

If it matters, I the media that I use for DVD is either YUDEN000 T02 DVD+R 8X or MKM-001-00 DVD+R DL 2.4X.

Lightning UK!  You are correct.  The LiteOn iHBS112 automatically reset to DVD-ROM.  I have been unable to get the LG BH14NS40 to reset to DVD-ROM.  The burn from the iHBS112 drive (reset to DVD-ROM) works in my mini-van and the LG burn does not.

 

I burned the same movie to each drive as a test.  The quality scan (PIE/PIF data) was much better on the LG burn than the iHBS112; but for movies that my kids want to watch in the van, I will burn with the LiteOn since it will book type to DVD-ROM.
