[Understanding booktype or bitsetting]

Some drives always remember and don't offer different settings for eeprom / non eeprom.

 

Some never remember and must be set for each and every burn - but v2.2.0.0 takes care of most of those automatically.

 

So really, we need to know what drive you have before we can give you a surefire answer.

 

I have NEC drives.

[Understanding booktype or bitsetting]

Are there any Guru's that can explain my question on setting the booktype?

 

Here is the questions. Does changing the booktype, using Imgburn, perform a hardware change of the dvd burner, or does it simply perform a software setting within the Imgburn software?

 

ie- If I use Imgburn to change the booktype to DVD-ROM, would I be able to use another DVD burning program to write an image whereby the booktype will be set to DVD-ROM. Or does setting the booktype, using Imgburn, only works when using Imgburn to write the DVD image to disk?

 

Thanks for any help on this.

[Problem changing DVD+R Booktype]

I have been successfully able to change the booktype with DVD+R DL disk but I get a "Failed" error when attempting to change DVD+R (SL) disk in my NEC drives. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

[Error with dual layer disk]

I have a couple of follow-up question.

 

1) Should I change the booktype when burning single layer disk?

2) If I use dual layer disk to archive computer data, should I change the booktype or leave it DVD+R DL?

3) Does anyone know of any reference articles about bitsetting/booktype?

 

Thanks again for all that has helped me on this forum.

[Error with dual layer disk]

on the lower right corner of IMGburn screen there is a little icon that looks like a book click on it and you will see a number of drive manufacturers find your drive and click on it (if its there) then use the Change For setting and then new setting .If you could have posted a log all that info would have been there Drive, Os, etc etc if you happen to own a sony use the LITE ON tab they make the sony drives

 

My drive type is NEC. What options do I have?

 

Thanks

 

Disregard my last post, I found the tab for NEC. Thanks eveyone for your help.

did you change the booktype to -rom?

put the burnt disc in your burner , open imgburn in write mode and take a look on the right hand side at the , physical format information ( last recorded )

it should look like this

 

Thanks for your reply. I checked the disk and the 'book type' showed DVD+R DL instead of -ROM. Where or how do I change this setting?

 

Thanks for your help.

[Error with dual layer disk]

Newbie here so please be kind,

 

I have been burning my own DVD+R for about a year now and wanted to start creating DVD+R DL disk. I am having trouble getting 2 of my 3 DVD players to read the dual layer disk. All of my single layer disk work fine in these two players (Zenith XBV443 and Phillips DVD726). The third player (JVC HR-XVS44U) successfully reads and plays both single and dual layers DVD's.

 

I'm probally in the wrong forum but any help would be appreciated.
