I have done as you sai: At the beginning of the program selected the Plextor drive, book type setting, advanced, Lite-On, New Write and everything was already set to DVD-ROM The final result bis a perfect DVD-ROM Thanks

There are indeed 2 spaces, fully identical to the reported ID ! I have not updated the FW to 1.13 since I have just obtained the drive a week ago I would like to know the contents of the change log. Have not found it yet On restart all settings as per your picture are the same with me. Everything is set to "Normal"

Mysettings in Advanced: It looks remarkebly similar to yours Still it does not work

Well, I tried again this morning and here is the log: You will notice that this trick did not work for me A cross flashed iHAS324 seems to be easier to set than a real PX-880SA

Looks OK and I will try again tomorrow morning Are the PX-880SA and Lite-On iHAS324 100% identical drives or only after cross flashing? And are the internals mechanically the same? I am asking since writing results of the Plextor seem far superior to the Lite-On

I have set the drive as Lite-On OEM and an ID of PLEXTOR DVDR PX-880SAIt did not give me the result I hoped for. DVD+R DL and DVD+R are not written as DVD-ROM After starting up the computer in the morning and using Alcohol only once, I can write any number of DVD+R with Imgburn and all are then written as DVD-ROM. So the initial setting is retained for the remainder of the time the computer is left switched on but a re-start causes the booktype setting to be lost again I also have a Lite-On LH20A1S which does not retain the book type setting after re-start but this drive will be set correctly with the Automatic Booktype setting Although I appreciate that you're not doing the bit setting for the Plextor, I was hoping you would re-consider Anyway, if you do change your view, the Plextor tab is already there! Thanks

Imgburn will not let me set the Booktype on my recently acquired Plextor PX-880SA I am aware of the advanced settings to let Imgburn think it is an OEM Lite-On drive but the trick does not work I am also aware that the Admin has made a note that the Booktype setting to DVD-ROM seems less important than it used to but especially navigation dvd's still require the DVD-ROM booktype I have read here that there seems to be a problem to issue the correct bit setting command to the Plextor drives but then I do wonder why a program like Alcohol 120% which I thoroughly dislike, can do the job flawlessly Also the suggestion to change the firmware with the aid of Media Code Speed dit seems pointless as the Plextor firmwares come as an exe file that cannot be extracted and seems to be encrypted anyway To cut things short, is there any chance that we might see a forthcoming update with the possibility to change the book type on the Plextor? Thanks
