Pioneer DVR-116 DVD+RW BITSETTING?

[supertommy]

There is any way that the author of mcse will add a patch to enable DVD+RW and DVD-RW auto-bisetting?

My damn dvd/dvx player doesnt recognize dvd+rw media

supertommy,

Why?

Haven’t you been informed in another Forum (The Firmware Page) that Bit Sitting of DVD+RW Media to DVD-ROM is problematic and causes compatibility issues?

Bitsetting on DVD-RW is not possible at all because the area where the booktype is stored cannot be written on -R/RW media

hey liggy, is it possible to bitset dvd+r as dvd-r??

I’m not sure if it can be done with a Pioneer drive but it can easily be done on NEC/Optiarc burners. However it doesn’t really make sense to use anything else than either the original disctype or DVD-ROM.

Looking at the post you linked to, I don’t know what question I didn’t respond to. But when I send a 0x01 to the drive for DVD-ROM, I’m using 0x20 for DVD-R

I back then just wondered if it really changed the disc. Never had a picky -R player to try it out on. That was my reason for doing it. But that answer is good enough for me Liggy

supertommy,

What leads you to believe that if DVD+RW Media is book type bit set to DVD-ROM that it will play in your DVD Player?

Also provide the Make and Model Number of your DVD Player.

my dvd/dvx player is an LG DVX9900 and it read everythink dvd-r dvd+r dvd-rw only dvd+rw doesnt work it say to me “WRONG DISC TYPE” so i think is a booktype problem… when it doesnt recognize a disc it simply doesnt recognize it.

is technically possible to do this patch? I mean there is somewhere in the firmware somethink that say

if “mediatype = dvd+r o& dvd+r dl” then (booktype) “dvd-rom”

if the man who created mediacoed speed edit want to do i think would be easy for him to add dvd-rw as mediatype to booktype to “DVD-ROM”, if he want i will be a suicide BETA TESTER.

@ supertommy,

Perchance have you referred to your LG DVX-9900 User Manual? The LG DVX-9900 User Manual states “Supported Media: DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM”. So if data is CORRECTLY recorder to DVD+RW Media your LG DVX-9900 DVD player will play it. I would assume your inability to successfully record to data to your DVD+RW Media is either caused by the use of poor quality DVD+RW Media and/or recording procedural problems.

The author of Media Code Speed Edit utilty software program is Forum Member ala42. Purhaps you might concider contacting him.

There’s just 2 bits that need to be changed in the firmware for every mediatype if you want to change the booktype. However changing the booktype for DVD+RW only works if the disc has not been written to before - just like it is on NEC/Optiarc drives.

@ supertommy,

Your LG DVX-9900 supports the use of DVD+RW Media so you should not need to have to book type bit set DVD+RW Media to DVD-ROM for your DVD+RW Media to be correctly recognized by your LG DVX-9900.

Your LG DVX-9900 supports the use of DVD+RW Media and you are using quality error free Verbatim DVD+RW Media so the next area to focus on is to ensure that you are in fact correctly recording your data to the Verbatim DVD+RW Media disk.

Suggest using a brand new out of the box Verbatim DVD+RW Media disk and fully ensure that you correctly record the data to this brand new out of the box Verbatim DVD+RW Media disk and see if you are successfully able to have this particular Verbatim DVD+RW Media disk be correctly recognized by your LG DVX-9900.

problem is the verbatim dvd+rw 8x…

i tried TDK 4x dvd+rw and works GREAT…

but i really dont know whi verbatim should be better than this tdk…

i m really confused

[chef]

8x 'DVD+RW is really only useful for usage with dvd drives, not standalones.

[supertommy]

how can you say that?

[chef]

[QUOTE=supertommy;2142522]how can you say that?[/QUOTE]

Because of my own finding, by trying that.

[DrageMester]

[quote=chef;2142481]8x 'DVD+RW is really only useful for usage with dvd drives, not standalones.[/quote] 8x DVD+RW (Verbatim and Ricoh) work fine for quickly saving stuff on my Sony RDR-HX910 HDD/DVD recorder - and it does burn at 8x, so much faster than using 4x media.

[chef]

Yep, surely the result changes rapidly when using NEWER devices.
