Granted. Why does it erroneously report it as DVD+R DL, though? What it looks like to me, from my complete layman's perspective, is that it thinks it changes the book type to DVD-ROM, but actually doesn't. Since, like I said, the program reported the drive was set to change it to 'DVD-ROM' to begin with, but it didn't show up in the program.

DVD+R DL, I'm afraid. Even though the Last Recorded is indeed DVD-ROM.

Huh. It does say DVD-ROM in Last Recorded. The disc doesn't work on my PS2, though there could be plenty of other reasons for that... Here's the log, anyway, in which the only mention of either DVD-ROM or DVD+R DL is that it says the destination media type is DVD+R DL: ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 - Log ; Friday, 09 March 2007, 16:44:05 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 12:49:29 ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 started!

But, like I said in my post, it was a dual layer +R DVD (DVD+R DL). Alas, even after I burned it, it's identified as that rather than DVD-ROM. Is there a point in trying again with the same type of disc and the modified firmware?

Hi. I'm trying to burn a ps2 ISO on a DL disc. The web tells me I need to set the book type to DVD-ROM. I go to the change book type dialog, select NEC, and in both 'Drive (For DVD+R DL Media)' and in 'Drive (For DVD+R DL Media - Temporary)', the current setting is DVD-ROM. However, on the main screen, the book type is still DVD+R DL. My firmware version is NEC ND-3570A 1.11, it's an NEC drive, and the disc is RICOHJPN, the only one I was able to easily obtain here in the outback (Israel). Any ideas?
