booktype DVD+RW to DVD-ROM, still rewritable?

[soulstace]

Hi all.

I was wondering, if I change the booktype of my DVD+RW disc to DVD-ROM, will I be able to erase and reuse that disc again later on?

Thanks,

Yes. The burner will still recognize it as a DVD+RW disc.

Interestingly, I have some cheap DVD+RW's that once booktyped to DVD-ROM, actually need to be separately formatted before the drive/burning program allow them to be re-written over. A quick format is all that's required as opposed to a full format. I haven't bothered to track whether this is related to the media, the drive or the program yet however.
