Yup, it's a standalone app.

That's a general read error though, nothing to do with miscompares during the verify. You drive is just doing such a shoddy burn on those discs that it can't then read them back. Any chance of getting a full copy + paste of the log?

Full log would help. Just copy + paste it. I would guess there is another error before that one. In any case, ensure you only use Verbatim DL disc and that your drives firmware is the latest available.

No but I'm happy to provide you with a sheet of paper and pencil so you can tick them off as you go

I'm not actually doing any custom overspeeding here.... I'm using default settings for all 'extra' features the BenQ offers. If the drive says it can burn at faster than the media certified rate, I believe that's its makers choice and they should pay the price if things don't work out!!! Regarding the whole 0% - 96% quality thing, that rating is only good for the drive that achieved it and the firmware revision in use at that time. So you can't say it's the best disc, just that it burns ok on that drive. One that's consistent across a range of burners would generally be considered the best I guess!

Bitsetting on DVD+RW is weird on most drives. Simply writing to it doesn't change the booktype. You normally have to do a full format on the disc for the booktype setting to be changed. That still doesn't explain why it's not working for DVD+R though. I guess Samsung lied and it's doesn't do bitsetting at all!

I assume you mean DVD+R and DVD+RW?! There is certainly no chance of it working properly for DVD-R or DVD-RW The samsung bitsetting code is a complete bodge and I've no trouble admitting that! I don't know how to tell what the current setting is but the program does work (when you actually burn) on the samsung drive I have. (can't remember the exact model). If the drive is supposed to do it automatically, your drive is messed up. The program doesn't burn your discs as anything, the drive will just change the booktype if it's supposed to. If the drive is set to burn DVD+R as DVDROM, ALL burning programs will burn as DVDROM. They don't need to do anything special to make that happen.
