Hacking Backup Loader + DVD+R

[Rebound]

I've run out of my DVD-R's and unfortunately my Drive doesnt support booktyping. Is there any (other) Way to get DVD+R with the backuploader?

You could try burning and see if it still works. Other than that, get some more -R or use a different burner.

short answer: no dvd+r without bitsetting

long one, it is explained in the linked file :

6x. Read http://pastie.org/286184.txt for the complete story on why we're locked at 3x with backups.

what model is your burner? There are ways to get booktyping to auto dvd-rom

 

[quim69]

Yeah what burner do you have, the majority can be flashed to bitset.

i just burn it and it works fine on dvd+r.

It's exactly the other way round here. DVD+R and +RW are working just fine (with bitsetting) but I can't get my TDK DVD-R or DVD-RW to work. Tried 2 different burners and speeds but I always get the 324 error...

Are you using nero ? I heard it does bitsetting automatically.
If you are using imgBrun, if you set bitsetting one time it will keep the setting forever.

I for one have NEVER had to use book typing

Open the ISO in Alcohol 120% --> Burn

Thats it i've never had any problems +'s and -'s both tested both work.

Maybe you could check the book type of your burned discs with dvdinfo pro ? According to the doc quoted it is not possible to use discs with backup launchers without book type set to DVD-ROM.

I have a Matshita Drive

use nero 6, that'll let you change to DVD-ROM...!!

I use Imgburn with DVD+R's and have never changed any settings, but it works perfectly

Tesco DVD+Rs

 

[fennec]

Anyone can check booktype of burned disc with dvdinfo pro ?

I could not get burned dvds to work until I set booktype.
