2 question - booktyping with decrypter and write speeds

I have a NEC 3550A burner and I want to booktype my DVD+R media to DVD-ROM. I burn with DVD Decrypter. Decrypter will not let me change the booktype on my +R media, when I try it tells me operation failed. Is it true that my drive with it's latest firmware version installed (1.05), will only change the bitsetting of +R DL media? If so, is there anywhere i can get a modified version of this firmware that will let me booktype DVD+R's?

Also, second question. I set the write speed in Decrypter to 4x and I also verify before the write. I notice that when it goes through it's verify it goes at 4x, but when it's done and it actually starts to burn the image it goes at a much faster speed, usually around 10x. Is this okay? Will it effect quality? Can I make the entire process go at 4x? I am using Sony DVD+R media.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

hi

try booktyping with imgburn made by the same guy who made dvd decrypter http://www.imgburn.com maybe better?

yes fast speed can result in bad play back

i never verify just burn and once i burn first at 4x after install it stays at 4x

 

You can get modified firmware at liggy and dees here:

I have the same drive and use the 1y4 rpg1

 

thanks for the info.

i don't understand the differences between these versions. also, what is the difference between original or rpc1?

thanks!

 

tried to ddownload the 1 y4 rpc1
but it has 0 byt
what am i doing wrong?

 

hey 9mmruger1 or anyone else.

when I try to download the modified firmware in the link you provided it always freezes up. does anybody have another site that I can go to where I can get modified firmware that lets me change the bitsetting for dvd+r media through decrypter on my nec 3550a burner.

thanks in advance!

 

I got it direct from liggy and dee's website. Do a google. I downloaded it and it was a breeze to install. Flashed without a hitch.


Here is their website. http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/

Select the model on the left and it will display the available firmware.

RPC1 version makes it region free.

 

That's the right site. Try again.

 

i tried again to download the 1y4 rpc1 and yet again it shows o bytes
nothing to open
i have the 1y4 orig does it have to do something with it?

how can i change from 1y4 org to 1y4 rpc1?
thanks for any info
