book type bit setting problem.

[acid box]

hi i have 2 dvd drives. and they both support multi media in dvds.

 

BUT

 

both of them fail for booktype such bit setting. i tried to do with imgburn and no luck and then i used dvdinfopro and it said that both of my drives dont support bit setting.

 

 

_NEC ND DVD+-RW 3650A (internal) firmware: 108c

PLDS DVD+-RW DX-20A6Q (external) firmware: 6D17

 

 

sigh wth do i do.. =/ before wasted a spindle of mine and still no clue what's going on. and omg working with xbox 360's been a stressful.

[Cynthia]

Normally Necs book type +R DL, Can you see in the burn log that it didn't?

 

The DX-20A6Q seems to be a rebadged Lite-On. If you use the Lite-On tab in the book type function do you get errors?

[acid box]

yes i do get errors.

 

okay i inserted blank dvd+r DL in both drivers and here are some results.

anyways that was just the results stuff. okay when i go to the booktype settings then it's like

 

when i choose the NEC tab

 

device: my drive

current media: DVD+R DL

 

change for: please select and whatever i choose into that field.. it's like

 

Unknown (FAILED!

Reason: Invalid Command Operation Code

 

so it's giving me error on all the settings.

 

and when i choose the lite ON tab it's like

 

Unknown (FAILED!)

Reason: Invalid Field in CDB

 

Except one option: Current Media (For DVD+RW Media)

 

and then i come down and change for DVD-ROM

 

same thing happens with a box msg: Invalid Field in CDB.

and sigh no custom firmwares for my drivers found anywhere.

 

 

anyways sorry for a damn long post. thanks for replying.

As Cynthia kinda mentioned in her first post, most drives automatically change the booktype on DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM by default - i.e. you don't have to touch anything.
