BenQ DW1640
in Chat
Well guys, you've convinced me, did some research and I'll probabley spring for the DW1655 as well. My Pioneer 108 is getting old so maybe its time for a fresh machine. I bought my Epson R200 printer after you guys reccommendations and its great. Will keep the Pioneer drive as a third drive.what's your other drive?

think cross flash, sooner or later

not seeing the forest for the trees

Life(?),
you might use shrink to make another iso of a questionable
burn on poor media(cmcmag)/something that should have been
backed up to a verb, then the test will not waste another good blank
-
he's probably gonna wait till he gets a better iso to test
those verbatims on(cmc mags can be wasted)

That did it
Like Chewy was asking i have some Imation that are rated for 8x what do you say about selecting 12x for them?
where's that firmware upgrade? LUK can't fix everything!
If ImgBurn still burns 4x after the firmware upgrade when you specify 8x, then it might be a bug!
-
"lol
Its working. Selected 12x burning at 8x. Whats MMC?"
I invited him to ask about 8x media, and told him you didn't bite too hard! But told him to update his firmware!
-
Only if the drive doesn't follow MMC specs.
Try at 12x and see if it burns at 8x.
thanks
I have suggested than, will have him try a firmware update, he's probably skeptical about the
crossflash, but he's already smoked anony's X2amd64/3800 bench times.
smoked is slang for beaten

is this a glitch?

The TYG02's I get from SVP work out about 40 pence a disc !! Mind you for that quality I am not complaining....
something's wrong in the global economy, is that .40 x 1.77= 71 cents?
I get 200 value disks shipped to the door for less than half that, or is there a 100% VAT?
-
buy the best forget the rest, burned in oct 18, 2004
on a pioneer dvr-105(@4x) FUJI(MIJ)

I am sure in the hundreds of pages of info on the DW1655 that I have read it claims that the drive optimises it write qualities as it goes. It continued with a piece on writing to media that it doesn't recognise from its firmware.....
If its true - that's clever
Pretty sure that the well document wopc feature, most sportsmen leave it off when after
big game(the 99QS at 5' 30" burn full disk)
other burners have a lamer power calibration function

When I get my hands on admin rights, what layers should I install? And would one logging as admin do the trick for all other times to use the device or not? There was someone today who logged in as admin and I had the drive connected, but it seemes it did not make any impact. Is SPTI working only as admin logs in?
See if a system adm can set rights for imgburn, doing a little extra work at work?
-
That's often the problem with buying a rebadged drive, poor firmware support, the liteon 1635 is a very decent drive with much better support.

I've had much better scans w/ TYG02's burned at 8X over 12 or 16X, doesn't matter if Plex716 or NEC3520, haven't tried the BenQ1655 yet. TYG03's burned at 16X don't scan as nice as TYG02's at 8X, but they're better than TYG02's at 16X, and there was some improvement the more I burned, learning firmware?
After rereading this, I would like to add, my TYG03 seems to be slightly better media than my TYG02,
but my TYG01 beat both of them at 8x, notice I used past tense, they are all gone! Of course this is just
a few percentage points in the upper 90's. After scanning 50-60 old disks this week, a 96 doesn't seem much different from a 98. When you scan a year old ritek G05, it puts it all in perspective. When the disk hits zero less than halfway thru the scan.

learning firmware?
now that's a ghost I have been chasing for over 3 months
And what conclusion did you arrive at?
There's something to that theory(hypothesis), but every time I think I have caught the devil,
media inconsistency lets him go and the chase begins all over. That's why I call him a ghost.
I am gonna defintely scan all burns with all media when NEC releases new firmware for the 3550.
Or I get that other ghost, my Benq 1650.
-
That way when i have burnt 100 TY's i have a counter to show 98% pass rate or whatever ?
Sounds like your expectations are a little low there
what's 350/350 x 100 in percentage points ?
when I scan a TY it's for those museum piece 99+ burns

learning firmware?

It would also taken time away from that spent on development etc.
Let's not let that happen, except as needed! All those scans and burns takes time too.
-
and that was with my nec 3550 @ 8x
now compare with LUK's 4550 burn at 16x on same media
-
http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=507
I don't get this kind of burn at 16x on any mature firmware.
-
And notice the speed it burned the 8x media at, a TYG03
might not be so pretty, it's not in my Benq at 16x.
-
I have been using 3 computers to test my library of
older burns, after replacing 50 disks and scanning 100,
I wish I had documented it. My hat is off to you LUK!

kev,
what other drive do you have?
