nilum Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I'd like to know if it is possible to change my Pioneer DVR-212D's booktype to -ROM. Do I need hacked firmware to do this? Currently my firmware version is 1.21. There is newer firmware available, but I am not sure if it's worth it to upgrade. I was reading the guide to changing booktype and it said: Also there are a few drives which aren't capable of booktyping/bitsetting at all out of the box...Pioneer drives being one make. What do I need to do to get my Pioneer to burn -ROMs. I am using Verbatim +R media.

nilum Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12018 Thanks Cynthia. How do I check to make sure the image was burnt as a -ROM? Is there a way to do it with IMGBurn? ... accidentally after I followed this guide... I forgot to restart my PC before I burnt the disk? I will probably need to reburn it eh?
Cynthia Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 If you see the red part in the verify part of the log - it's book typed to DVD-ROM. Never tried to burn without restarting so I have no idea if it works or not.

Thanks for all the help again
