Dell currently has an updated firmware for this drive in their File Library, whether it will address your issue I cannot say. No one so far has made reference to Book Type Field. The firmware can be found through the Downloads link under Product Support tab above, enter information for your system and follow the links.

i have exactly the same problem. The Philips 8631 DVD burner of my Dimension 5000 does not support bitsetting. The firmware in Dell's archive cannot help, because it is older than the one already installed.
I really can't understand, why Dell uses a DVD RW without bitsetting. It is impossible to burn a "compatible to standalone players" Video DL disc with such a DVD burner.
I have asked Dell Germany for help via email...three days ago. Than i called them. But the person i was talking to didn't even know what bitsetting was.
Now i hope that somebody here knows what i'm talking about. What can i do? Is there a bitsetting supporting firmware for this burner?
Thanks for your help.
