To Improve DVD Playback Compatibility: Various older generation DVD drives
and Home DVD players, particularly older players, do not recognize DVD+R, +RW
or +R DL recorded discs and may not read or play them.
It is possible to get these devices to recognize and play these discs by changing the
type code setting of the disc from a DVD+R, +RW or +R DL disc to a "DVD-ROM"
disc so that the drives and players treat them just as regular DVDs. The Memorex
version of Nero software provides an option of changing the disc media type code,
known as the Booktype Bitsetting.
The Nero software and your drive are set to the "Automatic" setting by default. In
order to improve the DVD playback and overall compatibility, choose the "DVD-
ROM" setting.
Places to make the change: Open the Nero Toolkit menu and select Nero CD-DVD
Speed, the "Bitsetting" option appears under the "Extra" menu. Nero Express has
this option under the "Options" button on the "Final Burn Settings" screen.
NeroVision Express has the option under the "Recording Settings" button on the
"Burn Options" screen.

StartSmart menu under the Nero Toolkit area to visit our online FAQs area.
Note: Clicking on the "More" button expands the burning window and offers addition-
al setting options, such as selection of the coding quality and the aspect ratio of the
