I am looking for a 1-4 to 1-7 range DVD duplicator that will let me change booktype on DVD+R discs to DVD-ROM.

Some of the duplicators I have speced are based on single unit NEC players (2500as) on which I know the fimware can be hacked to change booktype.

Is it possible to modify the firmware on multiple unit dupicators to do this?

TIA.

check out this DVD Duplicators Page see if you can find what you need: http://www.supertechstore.com/dvdduplicators.html

None of the DVD dupicator ads I have found (including this one) say anything about being able to change book type from DVD+R to DVD-ROM. While I could probably change the firmware on individual units myself, that would probably void the warrenty & possiblely unintentionally screw up something in the duplictor software.

I can't understand why this is not a stanards duplicaytor feature. Anybody who duplicates enough DVDs to justify the expense of buying a duplicator knows that if you run straight DVD+Rs without changing the book type to DVD-ROM, you will always get some returns from customers with incompatible players.

I emailed a couple of duplicator companys about a year ago with the same question. All of them said no.
Thanks Mike
