Setting book type in DVD Arch Studio 2

I use DVD Architect Studio version 2. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way (other than using Nero) to set the Book Type when creating a DVD image with DVD Architect Studio.

Short of that, anyone know of any free/inexpensive utilities to do this? I have a Plextor DVD burner, and from what I can tell at the various sites (like dvdinfopro) I'm out of luck setting it at the DVD burner level.

Thanks.

There's a utility called DVD Bitsetter at http://www.dvdplusrw.org/Article.asp?mid=0&sid=2&aid=44

Whether the utility or Nero will work depends on the drive firmware - if the firmare doesn't support changing the booktype then there's no other way to do it.

Now, at the risk of damaging your burner and invalidating your warranty, you *might* be able to flash new firmware onto your burner - for a lot of these drives, there's hacked firmware floating around on the net that allows bitsetter to work - but remember, if you do this, it's at your own risk and you do run the chance of rendering your burner unusable.
