DW1640 BSMB firmware release date - Club CDFreaks

Glitch_120 · 30-09-2005

Does anybody know when the new DW1640 firmware BSMB is scheduled for release?
I haven't seen any talk about it here on the forums so I'm guessing BenQ hasn't been saying much

Bye!

At the moment, not schedule......

How did you get the idea that there is going to be new firmware release from BenQ for model 1640 and would be called BSMB?.

*Qyngali* · 30-09-2005

Maybe because of this...? BSGB, BSHB, BSIB, BSJB, BSKB, and finally BSLB?

Q.

*bigmike7* · 30-09-2005

Yo Q-

Good assumption IMO-

Hopefully they'll release an update to QSuite 2 at the same time, to address a problem (for some of us) when using CloneDVD2 and Overspeed.

I don't mean any disrespect, but are you reading the same threads in the BenQ forum I am? I have read of many problems, from read problems to many others. Lots of RMAs.

*tehGrue* · 30-09-2005

BSLB failed to write a RITEK P01 disc at all in the CDFreaks "first look" at that media. That's something there'll probably be an update for.

nytvd · 30-09-2005

well my 1640 BSLB is so far "the BOMB"
(and i mean that in a good way)

Same problem with OneClickto DVD and QSuite2.0

I am convinced the Problem is with QSuite 2.0 with overspeed enabled.

Yo alan-

Agree - don't see any compelling need for overspeed to get good burns - only the risk of bad ones-eh!

*Qyngali* · 01-10-2005

Hopefully they'll expand SolidBurn to support all kinds of media, not just +-R. And make it more flexible if possible, meaning clearing individual entries from eeprom and so on. I wouldn't mind 16x P-CAV either, or for ultimate flexibility: choose between P-CAV, CAV, whatever.

Ok, 16X CLV might be a stretch.

Agree 2000% they are on a roll

*lui_gough* · 01-10-2005

I would love to see another update

-- though right now - with 3 of them just in, seems like they're doing well

z24 · 01-10-2005

fix the spike on +R during 16x burning!!

every disc you burn at 16x there is a spike at the end!! Crap!!

but its not appear on -R LOL

*qwakrz* · 01-10-2005

CMC MAG AE1 fix would be nice, Having to turn off all the extra features to get a burn faster than 2.4x is a pain.

*Qyngali* · 01-10-2005

The 2.4x SB bug was fixed with BSLB, at least with all the dash media I've tried... if you're still running BSKB I suggest that you update.

Fix this, huh?

Glitch_120 · 01-10-2005

So the bottom line here is ,BSMB is still not scheduled and there's no one using new BETA firmware at the moment?

Blaze1024 · 01-10-2005

I am interested as well !!

I have two DW1640 and neither will burn Verbatim +R DL reliably

I bought both these drives because of recommendations on these forums and now am starting to regret it.
