A friend bought them for me...they are about 3 years old, never opened them.

I haven't used many, but it seems a little slow...however, it did a few movies that convertx and Nero spit out.
For some reason when I use something other than DVDS/Imgburn the MID is removed from the disc. CD Speed reported no information, Imgburn and DVDInfo Pro were the same as well. If I use DVD-RB, and now DVD Flick, all that information doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Sounds like some strange things going on there loco.
Have you tried loading Nero Info Tool when a blank is in the drive? Or is it all a bunch of these - - - - .

it depends upon the scanning interval(1 vs 8) samsung and liteon use 1
benq and nec use 8
and since the QS is determined by the highest PIF, not the total, I usually don't watch it as much as the pif total, which is more important singling out
excellent burns
but just one huge spike can give playability or reading problems
A pof(benq scan) is when the pif gets real bad/high
other drives may just show glitches removedComment

I always look at the PIF total first, then PIF max. I see the QS as secondary for the reasons Chewy mentioned above.
If you look at a few scans from yesterday, the Verbatim had PIF total of 43 and max of 2. To me that is an excellent quality burn regardless of a 95 QS
I also don't like to see a cluster of PIF in one area, especially if it spikes in the middle. Although sometimes it's just something stuck to the disk,lol.
I used to see that occasionally with the NEC, but haven't in quite some time.other drives may just show glitches removedLast edited by Dan; 7 May 2007, 10:29 PM.

long ago and far away and on a real tight budget I looked for a benq, found an oem refurb at newegg for 32$, had to crossflash with retail firmware so it would scan
I gave it to my son over a year ago when I got my benq 1650
staples brand 16x dvd+r cmc mag's 16 cents
most any other drive would have died long agoComment
