I am new to this group but I am having the same problem. I am using ImgBurn 2.4.1.0. I selected the button to change book type. I thought it would be only for +R and +RW to be read as -ROM so my DVD player would play the format. Well, it also changed my -RW to -ROM and now they won't record again. I have read through the post and I see that this is not a problem that is limited to myself. At first I thought that ImgBurn chaned or added something to the firmware of my Pioneer DVR 115D so I updated the firmwire. The problem persisted. Like another user I had a stack of -RW and +RW that won't erase and will only read as -ROM.
I do not have Alcohle or any of the other programs that have been referred to as likely problems. I have tried going into the program and trying to discontinue the option of booktype setting change, no luck.
I finally rolled my entire system back 15 days to before I selected the "change bookype" setting and all is right again.
Now for my problem/question.
I would like to be able to set SOME burns to -ROM but I do not want to have ALL of my -RW disk rendered useless. Can you tell me how to do this or if this is possible with your software. I would think that I am an incidential occurance but there are too many other users with the same problem. Also, I was able to fix the problem when I rolled back my system to before I made the "change booktype" selection.
Can you make a suggestion?
I am using Win XP pro with 2 Pioneer DVR 115D DVD drives along with ImgBurn 2.4.1.0.
