zamo Posted August 18, 2013 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!
cornholio7 Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 you can't booktype -r media, try with some +r media
zamo Posted August 18, 2013 Author 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
Cynthia Posted August 18, 2013 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 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
