Question about bitsetting DL to DVD-ROM

[Pudah]

I saw this post in another thread and it is related to a problem I'm having. Didn't want to hijack that thread and so am starting a new one.

If you are using Verb DL+R's you have to change the booktype/bitsetting for your burner in DVDD to make sure that the DL+R's gets burned in the DVD-ROM format. The setting is down next to the write speed, looks like a little book, in DVDD. Select your burner then select the type of media, DL+R's/DVD+R's, that you want to change to DVD-ROM. You only have to make the change in DVDD once.

Does this hold true even if the burner is set to booktype DL media to DVD-ROM via the firmware? I ask because my burner (a NEC ND-3500A) is set to booktype DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM but my first attempt to burn a Verbatim DL disc resulted in the disc still set as DVD+R DL. I never had to use the bitset stuff in DVDD on SL +R discs to get them to burn with booktype DVD-ROM. At least not that I recall (my memory isn't what it used to be).

I'm afraid to try another until I get some more info about this. Any comments would be welcomed.

You only need to do that procedure if the writer does not change the booktype to DVD ROM automatically. My Pioneer burns all DL DVD+R as a DVD ROM. I don't need to do anything.

Most or all DL DVD+R drives should do bitsetting automatically. It is needed to ensure compatbility as not many players can play DL DVD+R without bitsetting.

It will likely to be manual with a SL DVD+R. My Pioneer cannot do bitsetting with a SL DVD+R.

Maybe Liggy will answer in the topic you started on the other site. Your running his 2.18 right?
