Cambion7 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I have the following drive: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 1.14 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL I try to go to DVD Drive and change book-type settings but my make is not present. Where, if at all, can this be set? I'd love to use ImgBurn to burn a 7.7gig image (ISO) to a +R/DL media with a DVD-ROM booktype. Thanks in advance. Cambion7

Carolina Mike Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Cambion7, That drive can not booktype and you aslo need to update your firmware. It is up to 1.20b now . Go here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/arti...8163990,00.html
Cambion7 Posted November 25, 2005 Author Posted November 25, 2005 hello Cambion7,take a look here http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?s=&show...findpost&p=4455 Thanks for the link. Looks like I am SOL with this drive. In looking at the tabs for Book-Type, what drives are supported /recommended where I can set the Book-Type? Thanks in advance. Cambion7
Grain Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Nec, Plextor & BenQ all make good burners IMO.
lfcrule1972 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Just curious - have you tried burning a DL with this drive ? It may be that your standalone players would play the disc back anyway.....
zacoz Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Never set a booktype (also have a Pioneer) and neither of my standalone players have a problem.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 The Pioneer drives already booktype DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM when they're burnt. That's fixed and you can't change it. Do make sure you're using the latest version of the firmware though - incase it's something they added slightly later on. (The 108 is getting old now!).
Cambion7 Posted November 26, 2005 Author Posted November 26, 2005 Well I ended up purchasing a Plextor PX-716UF and am running it off my firewire port. So far I've ripped The Skeleton Key in 12 minutes (I had never paid attention to how long the usual rip takes). I'll be testing the burn using the DVD+R 16x media in a little while. For what it's worth, I ended up updated my Pioneer DVR-108 firmware to a DVR-108DX version 1.18 because the descriptor said that this firmware would automatically set bitsetting for book type to DVD-ROM for both DVD+R and DVD+R/DL. Thanks again for everyones input on this matter. Now onto another question... With ImgBurn, as with DVDD, the drive info on the right-hand pane says the current profile is DVD+R DL. When I go to the proper section to change book-type, make the change, get the "Success!" box, the profile on the right-hand pane doesn't change. Is this normal behavior for ImgBurn? Best Regards, Cambion7
cornholio7 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) yes , it will change after the burn it will show dvd+r D/L at the top of the right hand window and book type -Rom further down Edited November 26, 2005 by cornholio7
