booktype comparison using AnyDVD & Nero InfoTool

[brainiac]

Hi all. I recently used ImgBurn with my Lite-On DVD+RW to backup a DVD to a DVD+R. I changed the booktype to "DVD-ROM" before burning. After the burn process, I used both AnyDVD and Nero InfoTool to check the DVD+R.

 

In AnyDVD, it shows the ff:

Media is a DVD.

Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 1

 

But in Nero InfoTool, it shows the ff:

Type: DVD Video (DVD+R)

 

The backup DVD+R can properly play in my DVD player. But why does Nero InfoTool still show "(DVD+R)"? With the original DVD, Nero InfoTool only shows "Type: DVD Video".

 

Another question, will the DVD+R not play if I use a different DVD player? Thanks.

To see if it really is booktyped properly, insert the DVD and bring up ImgBurn and look in the right panel (Read mode).

Thanks for reply.

In the right panel, the DVD+R shows as:

ATAPI iHAS120 6 7L0E (ATA)

Current Profile: DVD+R

...

Physical Format Information (ADIP):

Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00

Book Type: DVD-ROM

 

 

With the original DVD, it shows as:

ATAPI iHAS120 6 7L0E (ATA)

Current Profile: DVD-ROM

...

Physical Format Information (Last Recorded):

Book Type: DVD-ROM

 

Both booktype shows "DVD-ROM". Only the "Current Profile" info is different. Do I need to change this "Current Profile" to "DVD-ROM" as well?

That's the important one, ignore the others.

 

btw, ImgBurn booktypes to DVD-ROM automatically on supported drives (which yours is - or rather 'can be' once you've configure it in the 'Advanced' section of the booktype window), so you don't need to do anything.
