Hacking DVDx question.

[Deleted-171178]

Does the wii support DVD+R?
More specifically TDK DVD+R 1-16x 4.7gb Data/Video?

Yes the Wii supports DVD+R as long as you set the booktype to DVD-ROM.

I can confirm I have watched movies burned on DVD+R on my Wii. Both divx and full DVD movies.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

fair warning, not all drives support changing the booktype to DVD-R. I know that first hand, lol, mine doesn't.

 

[Deleted-171178]

What program would allow changing the booktype?
Nero?

IMGBurn is what most people use.

[TroyTheZombie]

Not a problem. I've noticed you try to help most people on this site, so I figured if you need some help, I'll help you.

If you can't find the option, just ask.

Ok, ive found the lil' book thing and it says "Change Booktype" but now it comes up with some tabs with "Welcome!", "BenQ", "LG", "LITE-ON"... What should I do?

 

[TroyTheZombie]

what brand drive do you have?

 

[Deleted-171178]

"HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B" According to windows device manager, but the drive is LG.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

k, go into the LG tab.

in the "change for" box, pick "Drive (for DVD+R)"

then for "new setting" pick "DVD-ROM" then pick change.

If it works, you may or may not need to change this every time you start IMGburn.

"Success!"
Burning now, will post back if it works.
Oh yeah, I made the burn speed x3.
Oh no! I need to close WMP to run it! :/

 

[TroyTheZombie]

LOL.


anyway, you may want to redo the booktype again before burning, it may have reset.

 

[Deleted-171178]

Dude, it works, thanks a ton.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

No problem, glad I could help.

God must be shining onto me today.
A new shirt.
A milkshake.
My mum found some classic rock badges and gave them to me.
and now this.

what a sec...I thought that if the wii reads dvd+r it weakens the lens...but if you set it to dvd-rom or sumthing this fixes the problem?
