What is BitSetting / Change Booktype?
Using the bitsetting (Set Booktype) feature in Kprobe to set your DVD+R/DVD+R DL/+RW media (Only DVD+R/+RW Media) backup to DVD-ROM for much higher compatibility with older
DVD players and Game Consoles such as XBOX and PS2. Bitsetting is done during the burning process when bitsetting DVD+R Media.
You can also set/change your DVD+RW Media's bitsetting/booktype,
but the difference is that you can be bitset DVD+RW Media even AFTER you have burned it.
Directions on this page are directions on how to Bitset on Lite-On Burners only.
If you have other burners (Non Lite On) such as Plextor, NEC, BenQ, LG, LITE-ON, Nu Tech/QSI and Ricoh Burners use the
Plextor, NEC, BenQ, LG, LITE-ON, Nu Tech/QSI and Ricoh Burners: Bitsetting How To Guide or other burners
please refer to the other Bitsetting Programs
Booktype Utility:
Please download the new Lite-On BookType Utility for your Lite-On Burner:
Lite-On Official Website, use this booktype
utility instead of the Kprobe's Bit Setting function, apparently the Kprobe's booktype function will not work properly with the new firmware upgrades on some lite-on drives. Booktype utility tutorial has now been updated on using the Official Lite On BookType Utility.
From CDFreaks.com:
"Here are the firmwares where certain LiteOn drives first started to officially support bitsetting. Any of these firmwares and any firmwares released after them will support bitsetting..."

has based its technology around. For other burners that are not Lite-On's you can try the following bitsetting utilities found in the article/links below:
- A very nice Bitsetting article titled: Apply Compatibility Bitsettings using a DVD+R/+RW PC Drive
by DVDplusRW.org. You can also download the software BitSetter.
