zamo Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi, Totally new to imgburn and quickly found out that my Dell laptop's internal DVD drive won't support booktyping to DVD-ROM on Verbatim 2.4x DVD-DL media. I have a specific project that requires booktyping, and thus want to buy an external DVD drive that fits this need. However, I have no idea what's best to buy in terms of ease of use, price, quality, etc. Any quick suggestions on what to buy? I'd ideally like a cheap USB drive. Thanks!

zamo Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's DVD+R DL Verbatim 2.4x, I just need a recommendation on an external drive that can booktype to DVD-ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 If you tried to burn those DVD +R DL media, are you sure that they are not book typed by "default" by the burner already? Insert such a burned disc in the drive and select Read mode - in the right panel window you should see some info if or not it's book typed.

zamo Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Yeah, 100% sure it didn't booktype automatically. The drive I have doesn't support it, and there doesn't seem to be crossflash available. Just put a failed attempt burned disc in, and it says "Booktype: DVD+R DL" as well. Edit: drive that won't work is a TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-D633A D500 (ATA) if that's at all useful. Edited August 18, 2013 by zamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
