goldslag Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have a Plextor BD-R PX-B940SA 1.08 (ATA), and when I insert a DVD+R or any +R, I can't change the book type to -R. I know it is not the discs I use because my secondary burner is able to change the book type and they work fine. I go into the settings and when I choose Plextor, and then change for: either selection i choose, it says: Unknown (FAILED!) Reason: Invalid Command Operation Code. So I then went into advanced, and choose Plextor as the Drive OEM, and then I put in: Drive OEM: Plextor BD-R Drive ID String: PX-B940SA1.08 (ATA) Running windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @2.33 GHz 2.33 GHz 4gb RAM Any suggestions???

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yes, go back into the 'Advanced' area and remove what you added. It doesn't work like that and what you've done serves no purpose. Your drive is a Pioneer BDR-205 clone, Plextor haven't made their own drives for years. Pioneer drives don't have a command for changing the booktype so you're wasting your time. You might be able to enable bitsetting (permanently) on the real Pioneer firmware with MediaCodeSpeedEdit and flash that into the drive. That's a topic for the MyCE.com forums though.

OK, thank you for the quick response, guess I'll just buy -R for now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Is the booktype really that important these days? It was an issue on standalone players that came out before DVD+R ever really existed but it shouldn't be an issue now. If the player can read DVD+R, you gain nothing by setting the booktype to DVD-ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
