Nope, but you can automatically have it set on startup using this

Thanks for the replies. Alexnoe, which files do I put in Autostart, I am using Windows XP. I assume unlike eprom booktype setting, booktype changes are unlimited

I also had a question on Bitsetting for the 4163. If I set it in Nero, will it retain the setting when I start another program such as CloneDVD?

Thanks.

not nice.... copy bitset.exe to your \windows\system32 folder, that should fix it

Only if you have recorded a DVD+ disc with Nero.

Do it manually... right click on "start" -> "explore" -> programs -> startup -> add a shortcut to it there

No. Just delete the "pause" command in "set_dvdrom.bat".

Open the file "set_dvdrom.bat" in any editor (e.g. Notepad).
Delete the word "pause" and save the file. That's it.

If you want to see the window for just a few seconds (e.g. ~ 5 s), you could add the following line in "set_dvdrom.bat":

ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > nul

The whole "set_dvdrom.bat" then should have 2 lines:

Code:
bitset dvd-rom dvd-rom
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > nul

i read a review saying that it automatically changes the booktype to dvd-rom...
http://www.extrememhz.com/gsa4163b-p10.shtml

Quote:
Speaking of compatibility, the LG GSA-4163B will automatically set the booktype of both DVD+R and DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM. This will provide the highest level of compatibility with standalone DVD players and eliminates that need for utilities and/or supported third-party software to do this.
but it really doesnt, right?

It's been a while since the link to BitSet was published
The link is dead now. Could anybody share the utility, please?

You can always use your burning application to set the booktype as you like, i also think that it will be a little hard to find a 3 years old utility.

Yes, I think the same too. The thing is that I always forget to enable the bitsetting to DVD-ROM and I'm kind of upset, because all my burners have the bitsetting activated by default and the LG's doesn't. By the way congratulations vroom .

ImgBurn can do booktype changes on-the-fly [read: for each and every individual burn] for some LG drives. The 4163B might be one of the drives that will work with ImgBurn's auto booktyping.
