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 “DVDROM” setting.

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.
