I saw somewhere that you can change the bookmark with dics that have already been burned. Is that possible and what program would I need to do that?


No, that is not possible, you have to have your burner booktyped prior to burning, you cannot booktype after the fact.

And BTW, I have that same problem...many of my discs that were burnt prior to booktyping will not play on 2 of my standalone players. One of them is a very expenisve player, a Bravo V1, at the time.

I hope that is clear,

Rich

Yes I realize that now .... when I went back and re read the article it stated the media was +RW.

Wow .... I wish I had found out sooner ..... now I have well over 50 copies that won't work in my one older machine. It will play somewhat on my old samsung but not nearly as well when it is booktype DVD-Rom.

But at least I know now .... and that the sony DRU-810A is the same as the 800A except for the DL speed so it will have booktype setting too.

Thanks for all you info. You've been a great help. ;)

Here's a site that lists all the sony drives that are re-badged liteys,and also has the firmware updates:

spiritoo: Double check your firmware version. That site said KY06 on the sony DRU-800A. Let us know what firmware version you have.

I just wanted to let all you good folks that help me with my burner, know that I sent the defective one back to newegg. I had to wait a couple of days after they recieved it while they tested the drive to confirm it was defective.

Once that was done they sent me a replacement. I got it today and it was a matter of plug and play.

I have updated the firmware and have burn a couple of disc .... no problems! :)

If it's anything like it's sister the 800A it will be a fine burner.

Thanks again for all your help.
