Bob Jones Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 is the new BWU-300S 8x BluRay drive supported and does the book type setting function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Yes, it is supported by ImgBurn. As for the booktype stuff, you'll have to try it to find out. I guess that drive automatically booktypes DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM, and for DVD+R media you should try the NEC tab of the Book Type dialog and see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could just get the non-double layer +R's working.

Bob Jones Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 tried the support group 3 times, the answers were more or less useless - basically "that the included Cyberlink software should work just fine" and that there's no newer firmware beta or otherwise than the 1.0a that it shipped with. No confirmation or denial of the drives hardware ability to bitset much less how it could be enabled in a 3rd party program thanks for the help, hopefully someone will dissect this thing soon enough and get it on par with the LG support - BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
