magic144 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 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...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 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.
volvofl10 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 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)
blutach Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 I can vouch for Alex Noe's little utility. It is just what the doctor ordered for LG drives. Regards
magic144 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Posted August 13, 2006 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
volvofl10 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 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 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 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! m 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...
chewy Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 I guess that's one of the reasons everytime someone comes out with a new burner, nero has to upgrade it's software
blutach Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 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! Regards
cornholio7 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 And it's poor customers have to download about 30Mb of pure unadulterated CRAP!Regards you forgot poor 'paying' customers
volvofl10 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 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... well i can tell you that Taiyo Yudens -R 8x ( ID TYG02) work perfect with an LG 4120b drive.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 30mb blu?! Last time I checked the downloads were over 100mb in size!
volvofl10 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 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 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Sorry LUK - it's been years since I downloaded it! Regards
chewy Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 you all need to discriminate between 6th generation and 7th generation, bloatware, especially when consolidated into one package(125MB).

davidw89 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 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 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Posted August 19, 2006 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 :-) Thought this might help..

volvofl10 Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 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
