- able to bitset DVD-R's as DVD-ROM

DVD-R's booktype can't be changed. Only in +R media.
I have a NEC 3500 which burns dual layer, it's region free patchable and allow to bitset DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD+R-DL to DVD-ROM. And it burns fine. There's a newer version, the 3540. Pioneers are also a good choice. For more info about other burners check the cdfreaks forums.
