Looking for a new Burner, Any suggestions

Tools - Drive - Change book type

 

Let us know how it turns out 300bowler I am pretty sure you will be happy with that drive though ;-)

 

pazzini,

i meant how do i do it with my pioneer(flashed with buffalo), as it is not listed for the manufactures, or will it do it automatically?

 

Pioneer makes a good data recording drive. It is too bad that they don't put out a drive that does book type settings, without having to be flashed with an outside source.

The Liteys are looking good. I love my BenQ drives, and I loved Plextor. Plextor is still the Cadillac, but you pay the price.

 

I bought the same exact items - the drive and the dics. Had to try out the lightscribe feature huh

I've burned two movies - one with my standard Ritek Ridata +R and the Verbatim +R w/ lightscribe both 16X and they seem flawless - no jitters.

I swapped it out for my Plextor PX-708A bue to some serious jitters lately. I've had it since December 2003 so I figured it was slowly dying.

 

yep that litey is working nice for me, and i booktyped a +R to see if it would play in my player that only plays -R and it played great, very happy with this drive

 

Did you have to update the firmware from LL06 or did you just use the setting in Nero to booktype?

 

Glad you like it 300Bowler

Happy burning!

 

Orion,

no i did not change the firmware, i used nero to bookype and used Lite-On bookyping utility too, both worked fine.

 

Yeah - I used the Lite-On utility and it reads as a DVD-ROM using the Nero utility. How did you booktype using Nero - by using the CD\DVD tool?

 

this is what i did for nero

BTW, i did have an earlier version of nero 7 installed and it didn't show that booktype option

 

I'm using 6.6.1.15a and it doesn't show. I have read it is suppose to but it doesn't. How do I verify that my Lite-On is capable? It should be - it's the same drive as yours - I'm just wondering what else I would have to change to have this option appear. You like 7 over 6? 7 seems pretty bloated if you install Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced version.

 

yeah, like i said earlier, when i was using version 7.1.2.0, that option didn't show up either, so i installed a newer version 7.8.5.0 and now i have that option.

dont know why it doesn't show up, maybe because when i installed my earlier version i didn't have a drive capable of Bitsetting, just a thought.

nero7 has worked good for me
edit
also you drive is capable, have you tried the Lite-on utility to booktype, you can check after you burn using dvd identifier if it was booktyped

 

Hi ;-)

You can use CDSpeed.
Goto extra > bitsetting. It should be fairly clear what to do from there.
If not post back for more info.
N.B. Have a blank disc ion drive concerned.
