Re: Bitsetting for LG GSA-41XXB drives

You can change booktype for DVD+R or DVD+R DL discs. For DVD+R discs you

utility source. I haven't tested what will happen if you try to tell the
drive to use some other booktype. Unfortunately you can't change the
booktype for DVD+RW discs.
The drive ignores you without even throwing a CHECK CONDITION...
at least last time I tried it, it didn't complain.
I've only tested it on my 4163B (firmware A102 and A103). I don't know if
it will work on 4120B or 4160B since I could not find any definitive
information about their bitsetting capabilities.
LG 4120B -> same as LG 4163B
genuine: LG 4160B -> none. DVD+R DL is always set to DVD-ROM
DVD+R is never set to DVD-ROM
This behaviour cannot be influenced
4120B flashed to 4160B -> same as genuine 4120B.
This suggests that the limitation of the LG 4160B comes from
the EEPROM and not from the firmware.
