Booktype set properly?

[youthinksoo]

Once I have completed writing the ISO to a disc how do I know if the disc was set to a dvd-rom properly?. I am using Verbatim data life plus DVD+R's with a Plextor 716A writer. Where can I tell if the copied disc is now truly a dvd-rom?

stick the burned disk back in the drive and look at the right window

imgburn log will also tell

If you open ImgBurn, put disk in, right hand side of screen, about 1/2 down, look for

It should look something like this.

After you set it for that drive, ImgBurn will remember.

durn it's the verify part that shows booktype?

I would burn at 8x with that media and verify

Chewy..you also suggested to me a while back to increase my burn speed from 4x to 8x. Why is that?? How does a quicker burn speed produce a better burn? Do some drives perform better when asked to push their capabilities??
Thanks.

[Chewy]

I would use the plex tools to see which burns best 4x or 8x

but I would trust that combnation at 8X and use the time saved to verify the burn, some of those 8X verbs aren't the best?

[youthinksoo]

I have never had a bad burn with the 8x verbs. I had been using -r and just recently switched over to +R of the same kind. I always have burned at 4x using the latest imgburn. I never used verify before, but still never had a bad burn. I am checking it now because I figured it wouldn't hurt.

(the above part would show me, in the log, that the booktype was set properly to -rom correct?)
