This page is the front for www.booktypefaq.com. If this is yourfirst visit to k-probe.com,

welcome. Use the bitsetting (Set Booktype) feature in yourbitsetting software to set your


DVD+R/DVD+RW/DVD+R DL Media (Only DVD+R/+RW Media) backup toDVD-ROM for much higher

compatibility with older DVD players and Game Consoles such asXBOX and PS2. Bitsetting is

done during the burning process when bitsetting DVD+R Media. Youcan also set/change your

DVD+RW Media's bitsetting/booktype, but the difference is thatyou can be bitset DVD+RW

Media even AFTER you have burned it.

Bitsetting unfortunately has its restrictions when it comes towhich burner can bitset.

Burners that cannot be bitset are burners which are not Ricohengine based, which bitsetting

has based its technology around. For other burners that are notRicoh Burners you can try

the following bitsetting utilities found in the article/linksbelow:


1. A very nice Bitsetting article titled: Apply CompatibilityBitsettings using a

DVD+R/+RW PC Drive by DVDplusRW.org. You can also download thesoftware DVD BitSetter.

2. Or DVDInfoPro - Bitsetting capable for LG, BENQ, NU, NEC,BTC, Liteon, Micro

Advantage

3. Or DVD Decrypter - Bitsetting capable for Plextor, NEC,BenQ, LG, LITE-ON, Nu Tech/QSI

and Ricoh Burners

4. For NEC Burners (excluding ND-2500A) you can use a programscalled: WinBtype or DVD

Bitsetter. If you have an ND-2500A, you can use patchedfirmwares to enable its bitsetting,

which can be found here in the forum: ND-2500A BitsettingFirmware.
