Change booktype Samsung DVD

[pressrocks]

Hello,

 

I tried to change booktype to burn DVD+R for Wii backup copies.

 

The DVD burner is a Samsung. I clicked on: "Change book type..." icon -> Samsung form:

 

Change for: Drive (For DVD+R Media)

Current setting: Unknown (No way to query current setting!)

New setting: DVD-ROM

 

When click on "change" ImgBurn shows a "Success!" window (and on the log windows, when the burning starts it's reported "changed book type on DVD-ROM) but after the burning the copy doesn't work.

 

This is the same both for Maxell and Verbatim DVD+R.

 

Someone can help me?

 

I have WinXp professional SP3 with ImgBurn 2.4.2.0.

By the way, ImgBurn, by default, automatically booktypes +R media to DVD-ROM on Samsung (TSSTcorp) burners

Hello,

 

yesterday a DVD+R verbatim worked (even with an error before the finalization, see the log). I only changed the buffer dimension (and DVD-ROM in Samsung form obviously).

 

The log requested is in the following:
