BookType Setting

The NEC ND-3520A allows the booktype setting to be changed. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the booktype with the latest Nero Burning Rom, not even with the booktype option in the "choose recorder" tab.

Like all NEC based drives, +R9 bitsetting can be changed with several utilities, easily found on the internet. Unfortunately, single layer +R bitsetting cannot be changed for now. This means that the ND-3520A will burn DVD+R media as DVD+R, DVD+RW media as DVD+RW and DVD+R9 (double layer) media as DVD-ROM.

Using the latest Nero CD/DVD software, we were able to see the default setting of the drive, which was DVD-ROM.

We then successfully changed the booktype setting to DVD+R DL.

We then used the DVDInfoPro booktype setting utility. Again, we had no problem changing the default booktype to DVD-ROM.
