| Sportfish > Congrats on the 99%. I've burned 500+ discs with my 2 1620's and never got a 99%. I didn't scan all of them so i might have and don't know it. |

| In my quest to figure out why my Dash R media gets stuck at writing at 8x I stumbled onto this. After the disc is burned at 8x when set for 12x I happened to check DVD Identifier and got this: Code: * INFO : Drive = BENQ DVD DD DW1620 [FW B7V9] ** INFO : Write Capabilities = DVD+R DVD+R-DL DVD+RW ** INFO : Write Capabilities = DVD-R DVD-RW ** INFO : Disc = [DVD-R:TYG02] ** INFO : Reference Speed : 1x DVD = 1385 kBps ** INFO : An Writeable Disc Is Recommended For Accurate Results ** INFO : Write Speeds (Supported By This Drive On This Disc) Listed Below ** INFO : GET PERFORMANCE Write Speed Descriptor(s) Descriptor #1 = 22160 kBps (16.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #2 = 11080 kBps ( 8.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #3 = 5540 kBps ( 4.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #4 = 3324 kBps ( 2.40x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] ** INFO : MODE SENSE Write Speed Descriptor(s) [Legacy Command] ** WARNING : MODE SENSE Is Obsolete And Not Always Properly Supported Descriptor #1 = 22160 kBps (16.00x) - [Pure CAV] Descriptor #2 = 11080 kBps ( 8.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #3 = 5540 kBps ( 4.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #4 = 3324 kBps ( 2.40x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Before the burn I checked and had this: Code: ** INFO : Drive = BENQ DVD DD DW1620 [FW B7V9] ** INFO : Write Capabilities = DVD+R DVD+R-DL DVD+RW ** INFO : Write Capabilities = DVD-R DVD-RW ** INFO : Disc = [DVD-R:TYG02] ** INFO : Reference Speed : 1x DVD = 1385 kBps ** INFO : An Writeable Disc Is Recommended For Accurate Results ** INFO : Write Speeds (Supported By This Drive On This Disc) Listed Below ** INFO : GET PERFORMANCE Write Speed Descriptor(s) Descriptor #1 = 22160 kBps (16.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #2 = 16620 kBps (12.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #3 = 11080 kBps ( 8.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #4 = 5540 kBps ( 4.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #5 = 3324 kBps ( 2.40x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] ** INFO : MODE SENSE Write Speed Descriptor(s) [Legacy Command] ** WARNING : MODE SENSE Is Obsolete And Not Always Properly Supported Descriptor #1 = 22160 kBps (16.00x) - [Pure CAV] Descriptor #2 = 16620 kBps (12.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #3 = 11080 kBps ( 8.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #4 = 5540 kBps ( 4.00x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] Descriptor #5 = 3324 kBps ( 2.40x) - [CLV/Non-Pure CAV] BTW. Both my 1620 do the same thing.

| @crossg, this kinda behaviour with dash media is not new. I had the same problem in beginning with 1620's U9 firmware Unfortunately a never got a clue what was going on. Note. With U9 firmware BenQ introduced an "Improve WOPC algorithm". To me it looks like (pre recorded) 12x write strategy burning "option" information area (on dash media) gets messed up when the drive "test"-burns in calibration area (sectors 0-31), but sofar this is only one of many hypothesis from my side... Compare also with interesting findings (regarding plus media) by ala42 for 1625 firmwares here. |

| Interesting pinto 2 thx for the links. Guess I will try to fire off a semi intelligent E mail to BenQ Tech support (if they have one) and link these links to it. Not the end of the world but very frustrating. They must know about the glitch but as they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Guess I will add it to the Suggestions to BenQ thread as well.

| @pinto 2 Just an update. Flashed both 1620's back to stock B7T9 and after restart made two more coasters with TYG02, both writers took forever to write the Lead in then proceeded to burn at 1.05x. I give up.  Time to call an Exorcist for my puter. YUDEN000 T02 Fujifilm DVD+R 8x. Both BenQ 1620's B7V9 FW. Burned @12x.

| Hehe Ths is way beyond me!! I am thinking something is messed in my FW chips and it wont overwrite properly. Probably flashed 10 times yesterday trying to get it to write at 12x. The 1.05x with B7T9 is even more puzzling. Reset learned media or EEPROM tool (Lite On) would be nice for troubleshooting.

| Have you tried running with just one of the 1620s connected? Does it read at full speed? Sorry if you already mentioned these... Q. |

| Well that didn't work although it's no big surprise. Maxell RG03 tried at 12x burned at 8x. Got sick of wasting TYG02 but don't mind wasting this stuff. Back to testing.

| Thx zevia. You had mentioned before somewhere in this forum that a restart works for you with this problem. Unfortunatly it doesn't work with mine. When it gets stuck writing at 8x it stays no mater what I have tried. My computer gets shut down every night so at least that is not working for me. Just filled out a long winded report to BenQ about this and what I have found so far and politely asked them to look into this issue. Probably went right on their ignore list but it may be worth the effort.
