As expected, like any other Philips drive, the DVDR1648P is capable of changing the default booktype setting for both Single Layer and Double Layer media. Using the DVD-ROM booktype setting greatly increases compatibility with other players and drives. The booktype is set by default to DVD-ROM for all plus media formats.

The booktype can be changed easily. Nero CDSpeed can help you with this.

You can also use the BenQ QSuite or DVDinfoPro utilities in order to change the booktype for the DVDR1648P burner.

In Nero, you can set the drive to burn all plus format media as DVD-ROM booktype, from the recorder's properties. This option is also set by default.
