Bit setting for Sony Burners?

[scs32]

Is there a utility that works for the sony drives? What do people do for this?

Cheers,

What do you mean by "bit setting" ?

Do you mean Region Coding ? If so, that's a firmware job. A search with alltheweb or Google will probably come up with something if you want to reflash your drive.

Actually, I mean the ability to set a burned DVD +RW as a specific type of DVD (i.e. DVD ROM). There appears to be a utility for the Ricoh drives (DVDBitSetter or something like that). However, I haven't been able to find one for the sony burners.

Anyone?

Cheers,
Steve

Is your point that there isn't one? I went there before posting. Did I misread it? It was my impression after reading that article (and trying dvdBitSetter) that the Sony drives weren't supported by this program. Am I wrong?

I just thought that if there is a bitsetting software for your burner, then DVDplusRW.org would have it. I didn't know you already checked the site before posting, otherwise I would have not suggested it. Sorry I wasn't much of a help..

I think that my response must have come off wrong. :( It wasn't intended to be hostile. I was just wishing that I had in fact read it wrong. :( I appreciate all help (regardless of the outcome).

Cheers and have a great day!
