Awaiting the arrival of my 1620 any moment now and have a question regarding testing. I know Lite-on has their proprietary KProbe, and that seems to have inspired similar testing programs.

When I see folks posting media tests, or reporting media codes, I see screen shots of both DVDInfoPro and Nero's CD Speed.

I also see an all-out war with regard to the author of DVDInfoPro being raged in the media forums, although, I am too new to all this to fully comprehend what the real issue is.

Anyway, does one of these applications offer some uniquely better features than the other with regard to the Benq 1620? Are they essentially offer the same featureset, or are there reasons to use one in conjunction with the other?

Thanks... time to go stare out the window and wait for the Fed-Ex truck again!

PS... one other thing. I picked up a 25 pack of FujiFilm DVD+R at Best Buy (USA)marked "made in japan". I cannot test the media ID until I have the burner, but with what little info I have provided, do these appear to be reliable? videohelp.com's media database suggests this to be decent media, just looking for 1620 specific input on these discs.

Thanks again.
