BookType Setting / Firmware Version changes

We used the latest version of Nero Burning Rom and tried to change the booktype setting of a DVD+R disc.

We also tried the latest DVDInfoPro 3.13 to investigate the booktype setting support. We can see that the software uses the NEC booktype utility, since this is indeed a NEC OEM drive. The drive was set to DVD+R DL booktype.

Then we successfully changed the default booktype setting to DVD-ROM.

We were happy to see that TDK supports booktype setting changes.

For the above tests we mostly used firmware version 2.36. However, since most in-users are interested in knowing firmware changes, we present in the following table the writing strategy changes between 2.35 and 2.36 firmware versions.
