Changing Book Type Field Help

[mondriver]

I think I already know the answer to this having read some previous posts on this forum, but it hasn't been mentioned recently, so maybe things have changed.....


I have a Sony DRU500a writer, and I DESPERATELY need to change the book type filed of my DVD+rw's so that my ageing Toshiba SD100e can "see" them !

Can I do it using my Sony writer........PLEASE HELP !!!!!!

You are out of Luck. Sony and Pioneer(A06) do not support this feature.
NEC, Ricoh, HP and Philips will work.

I have AOpen DVRW2412PRO, which is basically a Ricoh...

So how can I change the book type filed of my DVD+rw's???

Sorry, Baldrick was faster.


mondriver, if you have a friend that has a drive capable for bitsetting
ask him to change the booktype for you on the already burned DVD+RW.

It takes four seconds with Nero or DVDBitsetter.

Thanx anyways, both of you!!!
