    Does anyone know how to do or trick DVD players to seeing DVD+R Disk as Professionally authored ones? I thought I saw a mention of some trickery to do with DVD+R that apparently makes the player see it as such. I don't know if it was called Bit setting or what? Can't recall the post but someone mentioned at one point.

    Sweet. We should add a bunch of keywords to this thread so that people can find it while doing a search:

    No that's not it I know about that I mention it alot to people. I'm talking about a authoring process that apparently let's you make a DVD+R seem like a professional DVD and makes home DVD players believe they are. Anybody?

    The newer players can read +r. Also bitsetting is changing the + - nec are big on it on the windoze machines.

    This is exactly what you're talking about. This compatibility bitsetting thing is the only such compatibility-improving process for DVD+R(W) discs. Just use that tool Thoughton linked to, and make it set the DVD+R and DVD+RW defaults to DVD-ROM, and it should set that bit whenever you author a DVD+R disc.

    Should I use this now that Panther recognizes DVD+R and since I brought my pioneer 106D from a store and installed it myself will it screw anything up? I want to still be able to burn DVD's and hopefully use this to trick regular DVD home players.

    I'd say to see how your player likes the discs without the bitsetting, and only change it if it's not working without it. You can always change it back if it gives you problems.

    The Pioneer writers are DVD-R and DVD+R. The patch linkled to seems to be for DVD+R only writers. Or have I misread it?
