i read here on the forum about setting the booktype to + r and also download the patches from lite on to do this and it will improve burning . i have a lite on dvd burner and was curious as if i need to do this or does it matter . i only use + r disc but i was wondering if it would help anything to the booktype for the + r and if so how do you go about doing this . thanks

Hi dvdman101
Booktyping increases the compatible of playback on the different dvd players. Most new players though accept both - & + formats so booktyping isn't always necessary. I would definitely booktype DL +R media since players can be even pickier w/ them.

What program(s) are you burning w/? Some like ImgBurn and Decrypter have the booktyping option in them.
Nero when set to automatic will automatically booktype +R discs with most LiteOn models.

The booktyping from LiteOn can be used when the burning program doesn't have this option. Pop a disc in the drive - open the utility and change the booktype.
