@ryan32us - was having a blonde moment there in my last reply. I just re-read the thread and realised funkguy8 had the answer there. (Am answering posts at work via handheld to keep my incessant internet usage under control as I hear its monitored differently
@Ryan32us, I believe 6.6.0.14 can do the job as well. I recalled a few months back then, I had Nero Ultra 6.6.0.14 and I was able to change the book type via Nero Express. However, it won't hurt to update from 6.6.0.14 to the latest Nero 6.6.0.16. ((Here's how to book type using Nero Burning Rom)) 01) open up Nero StartSmart, then click on Nero Burning Rom 02) EXIT out the "New Compilation" when it pops up 03) click on "Chooses A Recorder" (it's a small burner icon next to (I) and the arrow down) 04) click on "Options", then on "Book Type Settings", set to "Automatic" and click "OK" - that's it... easy as smoking. Now every burning using a DVD+R disc your Nero will automatically change the booktype into a DVD-ROM format. ((Here's how to book type using Nero Express)) 01) open up Nero StartSmart, then Nero Express 02) now click on "Copy Entire Disc" 03) click on "Options", then on "Book Type Settings", set to "Automatic" and click "OK", then "Exit" out. That's it... easy as sipping on some Corona. Again, now every time when you burn, Nero will automatically change your DVD+R into a DVD-ROM in prior to the actual burning process. Basically, you only need to set the "book type setting" on Nero once. So, if you book type it with Nero Burning Rom already then you don't need to do it again on Nero Express or vice versa. Hope this will somehow help you out.
No doubt you guys are gunna get frustrated but, I have checked nero, nero express and smartstart , followed the procedures you set out. And well there is just no button for booktyping,the options just don't showit. I beleive what you are telling me is true, it must be something different about my version or drive .Using nero's cd/dvd speed proram, I see all the options under "extras/bitsetting" but if I select this it says bitsetting failed. So first I will assume it is the drive as Mort81 said, so does anyone use a LG gsa 4040b drive firmware A300?If someone else can do this with this drive , then it must be the software. Btw I use nero ultra 6.6.0.14.
Ryan32us, Try posting over at cd freaks to see if your drive is capable of bitsetting. They have sub forums for different brands of drives and can more than likely give you the answer or might know of some modified f/w for your drive.

Hey Ryan32us, I had the same problem a few days ago. when I tried to change the bitsetting a msg came up saying it failed. Well, knowing that my NEC drive upgraded with liggy's firmware allows for bitsetting, I decided to upgrade my nero to the lastest version, and voila, it works. So first you should check to see if your LG allows for bitsetting, if not, look around for a firmware that will allow you to do it, then try nero again. if it fails, then you for sure you need to upgrade nero. or you can just upgrade to nero and see if it works.
