I thought this might help out everyone in trying to decide what media might be best to use with our BenQ 1620’s if we started posting some scans.

We can keep it clean and simple with just Type of media and what speed you burned it at and a scan.

MOD’s , I wasn’t sure if I can start this type of thread considering there is a seperate media forum but with the 1620 drive being so new I figure we might save some questions and help some people out on what media to get. If you delete it or move it let me know , thanks

Here is a scans to get use started.

here is a Memorex 8x burned at 8x DVD-R (jewel case 5 pack) RITEKG05

and a That’s 4x burned at 8x (jewel cases TY) YUDEN000T01, I can’t get more than 8x from these, I don’t know why but I have 115 more to try on.

I wondered if we should have a separate thread for - media. I’d also like to see us rate the media for quality and consistency 1-10.

TDK - RicohJPN

Hmmmm, I must be missing something. I don’t see the burn speed posted on any of these. :wink:

Opps! My bad, I see them with EagleClaw’s post…

I must be missing something here, I don’t see the option to edit my posts.

Update write speeds.

Weird this post allows me to edit but my first two don’t. :confused:

You can only edit your post in the first 30 minutes.

Thanks Hef, thought it may have been something like that.

Nero scans turned out beautiful.

@Silverboi

What version of CD Speed are you using?

When using the 1620, ver 3.42 will show PIF, and you will be able to scan faster than 1X.

#16

You will be able to find CD Speed 3.42 HERE

#17

I noticed some people are doing scans at 4X and some people are doing scans at Maximum (8X?).

I get very different results when scanning at 4X than I do at 8X.

So which speed should be used?

#18

I scan at both 4X and 8X, depending on how much time I have. For optimum results scan @4X

#19

Erm yeah…actually, I do know…thanks…
It’s just that I was lazy to rescan it when I got the program…LMAO…

In any case, heres a burn I just did…

Phillips DVD+R 16x@16x
BenQ 1620 (B7M9)
Nero 6.6.0.1

Not true 16x, but heck…a few seconds doesnt matter to me.

I would really appreciate some more -R scans, please, please, please.

Also, feel free to post BAD scans, we can learn from that, too!
