The booktype setting is a feature widely supported by almost all recent drives, as it enables the change of the booktype of specific media (DVD+R,+RW,+RDL to DVD-ROM), to achieve maximum compatibility with stand alone players (mostly the outdated ones). This can be achieved prior to burning the inserted media or during the burn process (at the beginning with Nero or another burning software).

Unfortunately, the Plextor 755A does not support this feature for all media, and can only change the booktype of +R DL media to DVD-ROM.
