Certainly a great price for 18X DVD-RW for 16X DVD+R media. I think you will have a hard time finding good media to be able to burn at a 16X rate on DVD+R with still good picture quality. But at that price how could you go wrong even burning at 4X-6X rate. Curious to know how it turns out. Didn't notice, was it a SATA connection model or IDE connection model?

now why in the heck would you do something like that? samsung has had a bad reputation for dvd burners?

[BR7]

Well I trusted the link that was provided was a helpful hint well I wont fall for that again.And the reviews I read about the burns with TY's verbs were positive but I guess I was wrong I am glad I was able to cancel my order before it was to late it could of cost me $35. I will just stay on the safe side and get the BenQ 1650

well when I saw dee(nec firmware lady) using one(samsung) to scan with I knew something was up. maybe samsung and liteon can take up where benq is dropping the ball.

I see that the BENQ 1670 is available but I can't find any reviews on it does anybody know if it's any good or not

[Chewy]

that's why people are buying the samsung and others, benq 1670 burns ok but won't scan

[katzdvd]

chewy, do you scan every burn that you make? Once I was satisified that I was using good media, & the scans were looking good, I decided not to scan each backup ,as I was previously doing.

That way, thought I could make the drive last longer, by just ripping/burning with it. I just scan a few here & there to make sure things are still looking good. If a disc would be bad, I could still re-rip the original...

your thoughts...

I really dont care if it scans I just wan't a good quality burn.It's just a thought but couldn't my NEC 3550A scan the BenQ burn or is it not smart to scan a disc that was burned on a differnt burner.

EDIT
This don't matter now any way I found the BenQ1650 on sale for $14.95

every disc have a mind of its own so you need to scan every one, that Benq 1650S is a dvd-Rom can't burn just rip only
