Well, my dad got a shitty NEC DVD+R in his new POS DELL.

And well, Ive come across a few new Philips drives that wont read anything...
So I decided to finally burn a DVD+R backup and try it on the Philips, it worked. I also figured what the hell, Ill try it in my Xbox. To see if my Samsung can read DVD+R... It worked just fine, if not loading faster!

What gives? Am I just lucky?
Please post if you have tried a DVD+R in a STOCK Samsung DVDROM

also depends on what book type setting you use when you burn it

The samsung in my first xbox would read dvd+r just fine, but ive since sold that xbox and traded the drive off, ive yet to see if my new samsung will read them. But it is quite rare they read +r media so no doubt my new one wont read them.

Toggle the booktype from dvd+r to dvd-rom like nero does and a Samsung will load it. It has nothing to do with the brand of media but may be affected in the firmware of your +r burner with regards to how it handles booktypes.

Mine is a samsung and mates down the road is. Both read DVD+R no problem. In fact they even read real crap Mirror branded +R.
Burned on an NECND1100A if youre interested using Record Now DX 4.6

I have a samsung drive, Dell 4600 with NEC1100A burner using Nero 6.3 and Mine will read Fuji Film DVD+R and +RW and Memorex DVD+RW I ran out of Memorex+R disks but I will try those soon too.

The NEC ND1100A automatically sets the booktype bit for DVD+R to DVD-ROM. I have the same burner and the discs I write read fine in my samsung-drive and in my freinds thompson-drive. Every disc I have bruned has been able to play on every dvd-playr/xbox I've tested.

What version nero? I have Nero 6.3 and when I burn my ISO's I dont have the option of changing many settings other then write speed. If i go into compilation mode then I could go in and change settings take joilet off and so on. Just go into burning rom and click on recorder select burn image. Highlight your image and burn.

When burning an ISO with Nero you dont have an option for book types.

player1 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2004, 06:23:00 AM »

So how on earth is done then ?

Hippo and yourself seemed to imply it was done in nero but noone seems to be able to say how.

I just burned an iso with nero 6 and tried it in the Samsung, works no problem and I did not alter any settings for book type cos I cannot see any in Nero.
I thought you needed a program called DVD bitsetter to do this.
They work without all that anyway.
