Can anyone tell me how to booktype (if its possible) a DVD+R to -ROM? I use DVDFab Decrypter, DVD Shrink 3.2 and ImgBurn 1.1.0.0.
Thanks

What make burner do you have, not all burners are capable of booktyping.

That's a good question; I can't tell. All I see on the face of the burner is 8X, DVD RW/R , Ultra Speed , compact disc.

Open Decrypter and use the Tools Tab, then Drive and then Capabilities this screen will open and give you some info on your drive

Unfortunately, I am using the free edition of DVD Fab Decrypter version 2.9.6.2 and it does not have any tabs to select. Looks like I am out of luck. Thanks anyway!!

Use ImgBurn it has the same tabs and info it is by the same developer. Sorry I thought you had DVD Decrypter which is by the same developer as ImgBurn

Is this an internal or external drive, and do you remember if this was an I/O Magic drive when you got it. What it is a rebadged BTC drive, and not capable of booktyping.

It is an internal drive and I don't recall if it was an I/O Magic drive.

Just curious because the firmware on it way out of date and you can update from the I/O site or from rpc. At any rate that is if you want to because flashing a drive is always a risk. I have this drive by I/O Magic only it was an external which gave me problems with the case chipset, the drive burned okay though.

You gave great advice and I appreciate your help. So far I have had no problems with DVDs and things are working great; so I may follow the old saying, "if it aint broke, dont fix it." Thanks again!!

You are welcome, and you are right if you are having no problems then you do not need to, if it does have problems in the future with media recognition then here is the site

Merry Xmas, and Happy Burning New Year.
