Really need help for my Benq EW162I DL burner!

[wanghiking]

Hey, guys, really need help for my Benq EW162I DL DVD burner...I don't know if it really supports 8X Verbatim DL DVD+R...cuz I tried quite a few, and it didn't work (Before that, I was using 2.4X Verbatim DL DVD+R, never got any problem.) So I went to the store to exchange the rest 10 into Imation 8X DL DVD+R, the same problem, the burner shows WPOC failure error, while I clicked on continue, it did continue, but halted at 5%, 11% or 50% or even 80%! So it seems probably it got problems with those 8X disks? Anyone can help?

I found some post saying that BENQ doesn't handle 8X DVD DL+R, anyone who can confirm this for my model?

If that's true, then I will just go back and look for 2.4X Verbatim ones...

Thanks a lot!

It's all about firmware, older burners have old firmware and won't burn newer blanks right

Crossflashed my EW1621s to DW1620 & placed them internal instead of external. Chewy is exactly right, because I tried it with the new DLs & it's a no go. You are also best to use +Rs for single layer burning, or at least I am.
