While writing the bitsetting for this tool I did find out that you can set a DVD+R to book type to DVD+RW but in your case, when I checked, it was actually setting the disc type to DVD+RW and the book type to DVD-ROM.

I also noticed that the drive returned an unexpected value when the book type setting was read, before a book type has been set. My advise (if you decide to use bitsetting again), would be to set a default setting for DVD+R the first time you do it.

And rest assured that this tool uses the latest drive commands for bitsetting and not the old legacy commands, so it should be very safe.

Sorry no. That one I will leave for Smartburn to do, as it's a reporting function and not a setting.

C0deKing – Thanks for this amazing utility. It certainly helps to make Lite-On drives some of the more exciting ODDs on the market, especially when coupled with your test/modified firmwares. I do miss that wizard of the Smartburn utility however. Nonetheless, I can overlook his absence since the whole enable/disable Smartburn setting has been made much more intuitive for this user (not to mention the joy of no longer having to use a separate bit-setting utility).

I know you have made your choice regarding implementing MID/burn speed reporting, and I undoubtedly respect that since you are the author of the utility and the enduring contributor around here. But if your main aim for the utility is ‘reducing the number of mouse clicks’ and corralling setting options, then is not having to launch Smartburn to check the MID/speed another step toward obtaining this goal? I know it’s a reporting function like you say, but I guess I’m draw to the alluring possibility of ‘one app to rule them all’. That is to say, your app has already rendered much of Smartburn of no use (or redundant) and I wouldn’t mind getting rid of it altogether. Additionally, a novice like me might confuse or undo settings when having to launch both the Smartburn utility and yours (that is, of course, when I am interested in both checking disc info and altering settings).

Thanks again for taking the time to create and share this utility.

Hi C0deKing,

Prompted by a question in another thread, I tried using the bitsetting options with 3S drives and they weren't available. Is this correct?

OK,well I just don't like smartburn ever since your tool came out & sometimes smartburn would hang on exit I think because the drive that I was using smartburn for was in an external enclosure but your NEW settings is awesome and doesn't hang even on my external.

CoDeking,
I think I found a bug. Ok If you have your original file in a folder instead of doing a copy and paste to your desktop but right clicking on the settings utility icon and choosing "send to desktop create shortcut". Then if the original file/icon/program gets moved well if you click on the shortcut on your desktop instead of (windows usually does this in any other situation I've seen) it saying "can't find file would you like to browse for it" the program kind of opens but gets stuck and won't open or close and I couldn't even close it through task manager I had to reboot.

BTW it's not like this would happen very often but might if someone decides to move their original file/folder for some reason.

Hi TheB0rg. What happens when you run a LiteOn flasher for the 20A1S? Is your drive found by the flasher?

I don't know much about Vista x64. Usually with XP it's caused by not using Microsoft IDE drivers with ASPI drivers. cd-rom emulators can cause problems as well.

Hi
I updated to same f/w. Still no problems.
So maybe a faulty flash, in need of recovery etc.

that is the problem i think, i cant turn it to IDE because then vista doesnt start anymore!

I hope CK will look into the problem why it doesnt work with Intel AHCI setting

Hi
I have a similar problem, in that.
If I want to try ACHI, my setup would not boot up then.

Great util, thanks a bunch.

Just a suggestion, it would be nice to have a right click "What's This" with a brief explanation of what each option does and why I might want it on or off.

I had to spend a decent amount of time looking around the forums for explanations of what each thing really meant and trying to find pro/cons for them.

Seems to be working fine on my LH-20A1L.
