Wont let me change booktype.

[nikhil]

When I try to change booktype for LG burner that I have, it says invalid command operation code. I have a hp dv4 laptop and I think that it has a LG burner. Why is this happening?

Hi and welcome to the forum, nikhil!

 

If you have this setting enabled - it will already change the book type for you automatically.

 

 

Auto 'Change Book Type'

 

Samsung (using the identifier 'TSSTcorp') and LG (using the identifier 'HL-DT-ST') drive owners will automatically have all their +R /+RW /+R DL media changed to look like a DVD-ROM disc via bit setting. (Note: +RW bit setting isn't supported by the LG drives though).

 

The book type commands are sent to the drive before each and every burn the program makes. Obviously just for 'Plus' format media - i.e. DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL. Either the program tells the drive to change the book type to DVD-ROM or it doesn't and the drive will do whatever it had already been told to do by other programs (or by ImgBurn's 'Change Book Type' screen).

Have you tried to burn something on +R media to see if it changed it for you?
