AnimeSpiritZ Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I'm trying to figure out which company made the HP dvd640 drive so that I can change the book type in ImgBurn, but I wasnt able to figure out its manufacturer. Does anyone know which company made this drive?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 BenQ by the looks of it. Took about 30 seconds on Google!
AnimeSpiritZ Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) BenQ by the looks of it. Took about 30 seconds on Google! I was a bit confused because when I googled it, some people were saying LG or Lite-On. I think BenQ mustve popped up somewhere on my search before too, but yeah. I was just confused between these three. Thanks a lot, i'll try copying it now =] Edit: My second drive is called DVR-MCC. When I googled for its manufacturer, it showed "PIONEER." But settings for this company isnt within ImgBurn, does that mean its not possible to change the book type for this drive? Edited May 2, 2009 by AnimeSpiritZ
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Correct, Pioneers don't offer any commands for use by software tools to change the booktype.
AnimeSpiritZ Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 Ok, so i've been able to burn my first disc on a DVD+RW and changed its book type to DVD-Rom. But the only reason I was able to change the book type of DVD-Rom was because I selected "Current Media (For DVD+RW Media)." I wasnt able to select Drive (For DVD+RW Media). I showed the message "Unknown (FAILED!) Reason: Invalid Command Operation Code." And When I pressed the refresh button next to "Current Media," the scroll-down box was still the same. So I wasnt able to change the book type for burning a DVD+R DL disc. Is there a solution to this problem?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 It's probably the wrong drive type if they all (but 1) say that error - 'Invalid Command Operation Code'. Do you get 'Invalid Command Operation Code' if you try the LiteOn tab instead?
AnimeSpiritZ Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 When I tried the Lite-On tab for DVD+R media, it shows: "Reason: No Additional Sense Information"
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Ok, it's not one of those then. What controller is the drive attached to? (which motherboard do you have?) It could be that your drivers are blocking the command rather than the drive just not supporting it. If you really must have booktyping capabilities, you might need to invest in a new drive.

I was never really able to install the driver for this drive, so i've just decided to buy a new LG drive. i'm pretty sure it'll work when it comes in. thanks for all your help, and love the software! =]
mmalves Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I hope you don't need booktyping for DVD+RW media then, because LG burners don't support that (they do support booktyping DVD+R and DVD+R DL media).
AnimeSpiritZ Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 i'll need to use book type mostly for DVD+R and DVD+R DL media. but thanks for the tip.
