Great review, Vroom :clap:

Looks like a very decent drive. Looks seriously cool, as well :cool:.

Hi,

You say the Plextor PX-612U doesn’t automatically set the book type. Do you happen to know if you can change the book type? Specifically DVD+R DL to DVD-R.

I am trying to find an external or PATA internal drive for a laptop where I can change the book type (using ImgBurn) of DVD+R DL to DVD-R. I’ve tried a Pioneer DVR-TD11RS and not had any luck.

Many Thanks

W.

You can change the booktype using the utilities that plextor provides, i also believe that you can do the same with IMGBurn from DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM.

May i ask why you need to change the booktype from +R DL to -R?

Hi Vroom,

Thanks very much for your response.

My Sat Nav DVD has stopped working. Tested with a copy from my local Audi stealer that confirmed it was a faulty disk as opposed to the unit, however, I am not going to part with £200 for another disk. I have ‘sourced’ a copy, but as it requires a dual layer disk to fit all the data, the default book type on my existing burner i DVD+R (DL) and the device will only work with DVD-R. I have a feeling this has been done to reduce illegal copying rather than the device not understanding DVD+R.

Unfortunately, my HP laptop’s built in recorder is an NEC drive with a custom HP firmware, and my other laptop, a Dell, the DVD drive doesn’t support changing the book type from DVD+R to DVD-R either. M/N TS-L632H.

Thanks Again.

I’ve managed to change the firmware on the Dell TSSTCorp TS-L632H DVD to the retail version SN-S082H SB01.

I have written about it here
