8x or 16x v.1.2

[Too-Cool]

Just purchase the Benq DW1655 to replace my DW1620, everything installed and working perfectly. My question is what's the best/most reliable blank DvD Lightscribe disc to use with this drive, 8x, 16x, Hp or Verbatim? want to give this new drive a full shake down. Thanks

I run with the 8x Verbs. I still burn them at 4x.

I like Verbaitms and Taiyo Yuden I too still use 8X and burn at 4X

Most people that have a 16x drive and burn fast are doing it at 12X instead of 16 because the diff in time is that much. I for one have been having success burning media that was marked on the spindle as 8X but my burner\fw says speeds of 6X, 8X, 12X and 16X are available. I have been burning them at 12 X as I stated and gotten good scans and playability in standalone DVD players and in the PC. I have seen scans of the Benq burners at 12X and 16X that looked good also.

cmc mags, go with verbatim

cmc mags, go with verbatim

And also Staples 8X +R media which are CMC MAG E01

well I use cmc mags for testing and borderline data, but for a lightscribe disk
I would rather have Taiyo Yuden if they made them

Benq Burners have been burning good and fast for a long time. See the Benq Hall Of Fame Burns here

I would be pretty happy with a 99 or a hundred too ! But if my rips scan decent 90 or better and play in anything I play em in I'm happy.. like reaching for the stars and settling for the moon

I use the Verbatim DVD+R Lightscribe 8X usually, just bought 30 of the 16x but haven't got into the package yet to try them. Always have great luck with the Verbatim Lightscribe.

Use Verbatim DVD+R reg discs also.
