This is what Imgburn says Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: YUDEN000-T02-00 Obviously a cheap fake lfcrule1972 I didn't buy them.....I "borrowed" them from the brother in law so hopefully he will buy better media with the money he saved....rofl

Lol lfcrule1972....thats exactly what I thought They are from a spindle of Mr.Dvd discs courtesy of Tesco and are multi-functional The first function is to show the principal of "you only get what you pay for" The second and most important function is that they make excellent coasters to put your coffee cup on

Now this is what you call a bad scan allegedly this is supposed to be a Yuden disc [/me smells fake]

I just dont understand what is going on with your burning These 2 scans are taken from a benq 1650 using Verbatim + and - 16x discs burnt @ 8x

Thanks for that. Tried SVP & Ebuyer but no listing for BenQ, any suggestions? Komplett has both the 1650 and 1655 in stock The only difference between the 2 being that the 1655 has lightscribe functions

Don't panic the olde You haven't wasted your money...its just Nec drives aren't very good at scanning where as the benq,Liteon and plextor drives do very well in this area as Lightning as already pointed out You would probably be wise to invest in some better media too like Verbatim etc Scan done with a benq.......

They are official updates and are shown on the global Benq site. BSNB Release Reason: 1. Fixed QScan does not work properly. 2. Improved the writing quality of 4x DVD+/-R media. 3. Supported FTI 16x DVD-R media BSOB Release Reason: 1. Fixed DVD-DL PTP format disc cannot be played issue in BSNB

Don't give it up so easy...PC components are meant to drive you to a nervous breakdown. First try updating the firmware to the latest version from the Msi site Release new F/W version: 160D 1. Enhance Read/Write performance. 2. Enhance DVD?R/RW media compatibility to support more discs on the market Looking at the reviews for the media you are using,it is not the best in the world but neither the worst. Do you have any other re-writeable media of a different brand to try to see whether it is the media causing problems Eliminating all possible causes can be time consuming but also acts a knowledge base for others when problems are solved. I have been using this program as well as dvddecrypter for a long time and after installing the latest version suffered from the same slow down,buffer problem that others have already stated,but no way would I give up using it because it wasnt working at 110% efficiency,but wouldrather wait for the fix that I'm sure is coming.

The review for that drive did not show very good results and the drive itself is a rebadged Optorite,one of the cheaper drives available # Poor DVD+/-R/RW writing quality with most disc types # Does not even qualify as a ?1 sheep? writer in the sheep test. # Does not support Mt. Rainier. # Does not support writing/reading 99 minutes CD-R discs. # Does not support bitsetting for any media types. # Slow at writing DVD-R at 8x. # Few CD-R discs that works with the HD-BURN technology, HD-BURN created discs works in almost no drives. # Poor CD-RW writing quality # Slows down writing speed on many DVD+/-R discs when writing
