Pioneer DVR-212D - Change Booktype

[nilum]

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.

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?

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.

I checked my log and it did say that the Book Type was DVD-ROM.

 

Thanks for all the help again
