Force Bitsetting?

[magic144]

Lightning - is there a way to get ImgBurn to force DVD-ROM bitsetting all the time (like you can with the persistent drive settings in Nero) - I've noticed that every power or standby cycle, the DVD drive loses its setting and you have to manually reset the bitsetting thru ImgBurn again...

I guess you have an LG drive then?

 

If you search this forum you'll find a little tool you can add to your startup folder.

as per Lightnings advice to you, read this thread HERE . the info you need is in it.

i would of let you search yourself, but on this occasion, there is a lot of result/threads, and you cant search for "lg" ( not enough characters)

I can vouch for Alex Noe's little utility. It is just what the doctor ordered for LG drives.

cheers for that

I've already stumbled across that utility

 

but I was wondering if it couldn't be incorporated into ImgBurn

another problem with that route (not a big issue) is that Standby would revoke the setting, so you'd have to reset the bitsetting manually after that

 

anyhoo - just wondering - is this issue specific to LG drives then? I presume on some drives you can actually do a permanent bitsetting

 

it would just be a "nice to have" since Nero does this - that's what I meant

as time goes on, and more drives are designed , IB would end up with tons of extras for each drive on the market . so its unlikely its feasable for LUK to add it within IB .

whats the majority of the blanks you burn ? +r / -R/ +R DL ?

[magic144]

well how does Nero know what to do, if you say that you want the default Book-Type setting to be DVD-ROM - does it depend on the writer? does it apply a change every time it attempts to write?

 

anyway, I was just wondering if (how) feasible it was - I can definitely do it manually when ImgBurn is such good value!

btw, almost exclusively DVD+R, though I've heard the Taiyo Yuden DVD-R line might be optimum - so no bitsetting there if I stray in future...

I guess that's one of the reasons everytime someone comes out with a new burner, nero has to upgrade it's software

And it's poor customers have to download about 30Mb of pure unadulterated CRAP!

well i can tell you that Taiyo Yudens -R 8x ( ID TYG02) work perfect with an LG 4120b drive.

30mb blu?! Last time I checked the downloads were over 100mb in size!

well ,if you will keep trying to find a better burning software

[blutach]

Sorry LUK - it's been years since I downloaded it!

you all need to discriminate between 6th generation and 7th generation,

bloatware, especially when consolidated into one package(125MB).

Thought this might help..

 

I think some drives have autoamtic bitsetting so next time you buy a drive ask them. Iam getting the Benq 1655 and it has all DVD+R disc bitsetted to DVD-ROM automatically.

[magic144]

you must shop somewhere with knowledgable employees!!!

 

I'm sure I would just get a lot of blank stares - even at a half-decent electronics outfit :-)

magic144 is right.

if you asked that question in 90% of high street stores the 16 year old saturday kid will just tell you " im not sure"

best bet is to search on google for the model and its specs
