It's hard to tell anything with a verify/read graph with that drive, the burn has to be really bad before the LG will

even stumble or slow down with the read?

Friendly Tip: Use PNG when you do screenshots, JPG is huge and looks awful.

Will do LUK.

 

B4 i joined up with the forum here didnt ever bother with the Print Screen button. Been so useful of late

esp in combo with Photoshop which i recently installed. Same goes for imgburn as well. Gav up on burning

dvd media about a year in a half ago because i became frustrated with the process. Blissfully unawre of

the importance of good media & Imgburn . Amz what u can do with a little research, peserverence and help from forums like this

 

Burners, firmware & media -oh my-

 

Should be the mantra for this site lol

Not so. The drive quite often will kick down if it needs to.

I haven't seen the BenQ 1640 around for ages, if you can get a DW1650 or DW1655 if you want lightscribe. I think Del-Boy Donta had some for sale a while ago, not sure if he shifted them all tho.

[Aten]

Might send donta a pm and see about that. Its not urrgent as im actually very contented with my LG.

Blutach, your into your LG writers arent u? Think i recall reading about your frustrations with the bitsetting

resetting each time the pc shut down.

 

If i dont pick up a benq Might go for the lg h222n as there still easier to find. Like the 1640 it has great results with burning sl & dl's disks.

 

Viewed some Plexors selling on ebay for over ?50. Not familar with that brand.

Expensive even for an oem product. WHat gives....

I,m not selling any of my 1650, I never sell anything i buy even when i buy 5 of them, he's winding you up.

 

you may still be able to get one though as pcworld have them or had them for 24.99.

 

will have a look to see if they still got some and let you know.

[lfcrule1972]

 

Sorry....

[Aten]

Id buy a BQ1640 from a Trotter so long as it was for a fiver.

[lfcrule1972]

Ah donta was flogging em off for a pony......

[dontasciime]

@lfc no worries

 

@ROD sent you pm

[Aten]

Update includes a PiPo scan in the first post (at the top).

Next update will include results for Verbatims 2.4x DVD+R DL [MKM-001-00] media.

Might seem a little redundant providing scans for a dvd drive thats been on the market

for 2 years now but i was always slightly dissapointed that i couldnt find these

results in the Media section for my LG GSA 4163b.

 

This is for all the those other LG users out there who couldnt sleep at night either

 

Scans are purely for Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim media only. Know that might be somewhat

lacking but i m only interested in media that is recommended for my drive.

Added:

 

Will include results for Verbatim 4x DVD+R DL at some point.

Also plan to purchase some Taiyo Yudens 16x DVD-R SL with results to follow.
