Ok while in the media forum I was seeing several people mention booktyping. They had mentioned that DVD+R's are able to do this and that it is a better format. What exactly is booktyping and why is this better than a DVD-R disc??
Booktyping allows a +R disk to also be read in -R format it makes it compatible with all standalones. You can do this if your drive is capable of booktyping. A lot of older player will not read +R disks, my old Toshiba will only read -R by booktyping it will now play the +R format. The +R format has always been a little more technologically advanced than the -R but eventually the -R catches up. Hope this answers some of your questions
Hi there, I've never used bitsetting, but when you change it, it fakes the DVD+R to look like a DVD-ROM. So you DVD player things is a commercial pressed DVD, so they say making it more compatible. I have also read that DVD-R is more compatible than DVD+R specialy with older DVD Player. It's what I have read in the past... I use DVD-R, burn then all at 2x, and all my DVD players plays them.
