hi guys- i know that Plextor doesn't support setting the booktype on this drive. but i can't believe there's no workaround? burning discs which can be read in regular DVD-ROM drives seems of rather high importance.
i'm using DVD+R media, my goal is to make iso9660's which can be read by a couple DVD-ROM drives, notably the Apple Superdrive, and the NEC DV-5800A in my Dell box. both have the latest firmware loaded. i tested twice, with 4X media from Sony and Memorex. the discs mount fine in the Plextor after burning, but both DVD-ROM drives fail to detect the media. the exact command i used: growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=/vol1/export/backup/archive-2004-06-09.iso -dvd-compat -speed=4 is there *any* way i can write a DVD-ROM compatible disc with my plextor 708? with any software? would using -R media instead of +R make any difference? or should i return it? can anyone suggest a different USB2 external burner of similar quality which allows setting the booktype? thanks, jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
