Unable to set booktype, accepts change, but ignores it.

[Gardienforce]

Hello, I'm new to these boards since I never knew about its existence until today.

 

The problem I'm having with ImgBurn as well as DVD Decrypter is as followed.

 

My dvd drive is a LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S, with Firmware version HS0E (also have HV9N, same results), this drive supports changing the book type. Which works as its supposed to in Nero Burning Rom.

Also the lite-on booktype changer works perfectly normal and detects my book type settings.

However, with both DVD Decrypter and ImgBurn, when I go to the menu to change the book type settings for my lite on drive and check the drop down menu, every setting is correctly set to DVD-ROM, but (unfortunately there's always a but) if I enter any media +r or +r dual layer, the information screen when starting either of the 2 programs (or while its already started and changing a disk) it will always state that the current profile is the book type of the media itself.

 

Example, currently I have a blank dvd+r dl disk in my drive, it states:

 

LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S HS0E (ATA)

Current Profile: DVD+R DL

 

It says this eventhough in the menu all settings are set to DVD-ROM, as well in the original lite on book type change utility, and it also displays the book type settings to DVD-ROM in nero cd-dvd speed.

Except in the entry "Current media" in the drop down menu, it states that the current setting is the book type of the media itself, DVD+R DL and not DVD-ROM. If I select to change this to DVD-ROM in the new settings menu, I recieve the following error:

 

"Failed!

 

Reason: Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format"

 

I receive this same error in DVD Decrypter and ImgBurn, it happens both when I try to change the current media to DVD-ROM while I have a DVD+R disk inserted, but as well with a DVD+R DL. I clearly do not understand why I am having this problem since it should work properly, since I've burned several images of video or playstation 2 games using Nero Burning Rom, and selected to change the book type setting to DVD-ROM, and when writing a disk, one of the first messages I recieve in the status screen is that the book type is set to DVD-ROM, also checking the disk after it was successfully written shows that it has a DVD-ROM book type.

 

If anyone could shed some light to me and hopefully know a solution other then using (aka buying) a different DVDRW drive, please let me know.

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

Gard.

the booktype change to -ROM will only be show by the disc after the burn

'Current Profile' is nothing at all to do with the booktype. Booktype is mentioned under 'Physical Format Information (Last Recorded)'.
