BenQ Scam Hall of Shame

Hi,
Just a few lines. Thanks folks for the compliments.
One of the things I've noticed recently,if SB is enabled. Writing @ 4x is unhealthy if 16x media is being used. I had to reflash my drive to 'wake it up' after my trial @ different speeds (I wrote @ 16x then 12 x 8x & finally 4x). MCC 03EG20/MCC 004 appear to support 4x 8x 12x 16x strategies quite well, when SB is disabled.
The quality/consistancy of this media lately is however questionable. I myself am migrating to Taiyo Yuden.
Write speeds are dependant on system (a fact most are aware of). If top notch you may be able to write @ 16x not only with 16x media. But TY 8x media can yield surprising results in this area.
For most of us 12x is probably gonna give the best speed/quality burns. I know a lot of folks see 8x as the one when it comes to quality. But take a look at my scans & @ 8x both PIE/PIF are very high in comparison. So it could pay to experiement for yourself in this respect.

 

Hi.
Just a few scans with TYG02 8x unbranded. Again SB/OS/WOPC enabled for all media. As writing @ 4x gave me problems last time, I've excluded it. So only 8x 12x & 16x this time.



Obviously in this case the results differ. This is down to both the fact different media, but also medias' speed rating. The interesting thing here for me, is how 16x performs better than 12x. In fact at this rate you could almost question whether there's any difference in 8x & 16x TY. Before anybody throws a wobbly, I know there is.

 

Office Depot's 100 pk spindles for $20 during their memorial day sale.

Here's the +16x which code as Ritek-P16-using my Benq 1620 with over 3500+ backups:

Burned at 4x:



Burned at 8x:




Looks like I'll stick with 8x on these.

 

hi
thanks for the look see

 

I love those MCC-003.Nice scan neph! Those are getting very hard for me to find them.

BTW: Neph,did you check out the fishing thread in safety valve? LOL

Here's a scan from yesterdays 20 cent office depot brand's sale. Ritek-P16/burned on my old Benq 1620 with well over 3500+ backups/and at 12x:



Not too shabby. I got one cooking at 12x just for sh*ts and giggles.

 

Well,just maybe? LOL

The x-rated version of Broke Back Mountain. It's the only version I'll watch. Get this,and the name is:

[bold]Broke Crack Mountain[/bold], LOL

I just love those porno versions of regular movies and tv shows. I always get a chuckle at some of those names, LOL

Edit:

Here's that Office Depot +16x Ritek-P16 burned at 16x on my Benq 1620.Looked good,until the last half;

 

That scan I edited in my last post was another riske~ flick.

The movie got hot and heavy at the 3.5 gb mark. Wait,that's about when those PIF's started climing, LOL

 

speaking of "naughties" LOL



just so everyone knows that my 3,000+ ORIGINAL dvd collection is NOT limited to only "hollywood" movies~

this one wasn't very good actually, but hey, can't win em' all

Benq 1650 w/ everything enabled as before, BCHC firmware burned @8x

docTY~

 

ironically, i tried burning the 3rd disc in this dvd set @4x (juss for fun and to see if my POOR 4x burns in the past were a fluke or not)



my scores are MUCH lower when burned slower ON MY SETUP, opposite of your results neph~

all options/features remained the same, only thing changed was the BURN SPEED...@4x~

docTY~

 

not sure if this is the right place...but does anyone have good cd-r scans from the 1650...i've only burned a few cds with verbs (cmc) and the results havent been all that great

 

Ok this is my first burn after i flashed it to BCHB
Qsuite at default settings
This is a "on the fly" burn
also throuh USB/2.0 but i threw it back in the pc because it was having problems scanning

 

Burned at 16x solid burn activated,WOPC enabled.Using 1640 BSQB firmware

 

Here is one of my scans.

SB on/on WOPC on OS off Burn speed 8x

 

wow...nice scan!! To get PI Errors under 1 do i need a high end computer or should i be able to get it with the right media and right burn speed? My computer is a P4 2.8 (400fsb), 1GB Ram (2100), Benq 1620 and 1650, windows xp sp 2 (not sure what motherboard i have...probably some crappy stuff haha). Also will it affect the PI Errors etc if i have other programs running (the other programs are low on memory and cpu) while i'm burning ?

 

Hi,
No one here using BSRB?
Burnt 16x SB/OS/WOPC all enabled.
