Booktype - bitsetting

Does the superdrive support bitsetting? As in when you burn a DVD+R, you can bitset it as a DVD-ROM? I did this all the time with my BenQ 1620.

MacBook 2Ghz, Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Not sure where Toast lets someone bitset. It allows you to author the dvd as a DVD-ROM, but if you place that in your machine it will still have the appearance of a +R disk. If there's a place for this in toast then I'd really appreciate the heads up. The only way I've been able to bitset w/ toast is w/ firmware hacked externals. Since there isn't even a region patch for this drive I doubt there's a bitsetting patch; however, the patched 110 firmware I have on one of my drives is auto (+R or +R-DL will show up w/ the ROM icon on them after burning w/ no setting modifications) so there is a chance that the Matshita/Panasonic 825? in our machines can auto bitset.

The answer is to burn a DVD-ROM to +R media and see what it shows up as.

BTW, Popcorn 2 works great w/ the core duos if you want something that takes advantage of the situation.
