thank you for posting this.. i do not believe it is posted anywhere.. i too have found it necessary to have the booktype set to DVDROM (again with the help of other forum members)..
unfortunately i have not been able to change mine yet..
i have DVDinfo, DVDdecypter, and Nero 6.6 ultimate.. all software packages can tell me that the BOOKTYPE of my Sony DW-D56A slim 8x DVD+/-RW with PDS7 - stock (2005/07/01) (Dell OEM) firmware in my DELL inspiron 9300 is set to DVD+/-R DL, but i havent been able to change it for some reason.. i havent had much time to mess with it, perhaps different firmware would help..

what software do you use to change the booktype and when do you do it??.. after you insert the blank DL DVD, but before you burn it??..
thanks ..
