Yes, Lite-On does have their own "Book Type Utility". It only works for Lite-On burners.

Here are the links & instructions:

If you set the "bitsettings or book type" to DVD-ROM via Nero Burning Rom, then it "only works" when you use Nero Express, Nero Burning Rom, Nero Recode 2 or Nero Vision to burn. However, Nero will store it permanently in your drive and every burns will become DVD-ROM when using DVD+R, DVD+RW or DVD+R DL media.[quote/][bold/]

I beg to differ, It will not store it on your drive, it only stores it in Nero and then will use it each time you use Nero to burn.
You Must use Nero to benefit? With drive bitsetting it will work with ANY program that you burn with. Like CloneDVD2 that doesn?t support Booktyping???.

Hey Guys,
Think about this, I am Old and have been programming computers for over 40 years, during that much time one has to learn something, if only by exposure..
That is why I use the quote from Will Rogers in my Signature. I have peed on a lot of electric fences in my time and have been burned. Like using Memorex discs and putting stick on labels on them when I first started burning DVD?s. Live and LEARN?.
Just remember Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Ok guys - a little info update. The tool that 2old told us about doesn't work with no other drive. I tried to run and it gave me an error message saying "target drive is not found". Looks like I would be able to do it in Decrypter and Nero without no problem; however I usually use CloneDVD so I checked inside DVDInfo and you can change the booktype there also and it does work.

@2oldGeek

Yes, that's what I said above -- I guess I didn't make it clear enough. I meant Nero has a drive (Nero CD-DVD Speed drive/driver) that can set or change the bitsetting/book type, and once you set/changed the "book type" via Nero Burning Rom or Nero Express, it will store inside Nero Toolkit's CD-DVD Speed drive permanently, unless you change it back.

Notice: I said; "it "only works" when you use Nero Express, Nero Burning Rom, Nero Recode 2 or Nero Vision to burn."

Yes.... the drive is from Nero CD-DVD Speed. When I said "drive" that's what I meant. **Notice: I never said DVD burner's drive.
