I have a HL-DT-ST GP08LU30 1.01 and I'm trying to set the booktype to DVDROM but when I choose LG from the tabs and choose Drive (For DVD+R DL Media) it says:
unknown (FAILED!)
Reason: Illegal Mode For This Track
If I chose Advanced, it explains some instructions and gives an example:
Drive OEM: Samsung
Drive ID String: SONY DVD RW DRU-830A
I don't really understand what it's asking me to do, but I'm wondering if this will help me override the issue with setting the booktype.
