Anybody notice this? I am rather new to the Bit-Setting of a drive, but I notice that mostly alot of information is missing from the DVD once I burnt it to DVD-ROM.

I guess I am wondering is this normal or is something wrong going on?

I see exactly the same, however if you load up something like DVDDecrypter it will tell you what the disc is and what the disc is now after burning (+R/+RW/+DL)


Physical Format Information (ADIP):
Disc ID: RICOHJPN-R01-02
Book Type: DVD+R
Part Version: 1

Physical Format Information (Last Recorded):
Disc ID: RICOHJPN-R01-02
Book Type: DVD-ROM
Part Version: 1

Btw, these 4x rated discs burn well at 8x on PX712A

I think it's normal. Since the drive reads the disc as DVD-ROM there shouldn't be any info on the manufacturer, recording speed, etc. since this info is only needed for DVDR media and not DVD-ROM media. Don't know if what I posted is true but it would seem logical to me.

Yep, logical explanation.
That's the dark side of Bitsetting, hehe.
