MediaCodeSpeedEdit support for Benq/Philips DVD-Writers - Page 39 - Club CDFreaks

*ala42* · 06-05-2006

There were reports of DVD-DL pressed disks that were read by the drive quite slowly if the drive started to read these disks at a high read speed. When reading them at the usual read speed this problem did not occur.

If so then you could use that function to limit read speed for any hardware/software combination. (I think I found a solution to my own problem if this is the case.)

Yes.

wraithdu · 06-05-2006

Excellent

So one last Q before giving this a shot....
Has anyone had a problem after increasing the read speed with failed disc reads or the resulting DVD copy having video corruption, playback problems or any other type glitches?

Basically I'm not willing to sacrifice quality for speed here. But if I can get a speed increase and keep the original read quality, I'm all about it.

I've been using ala42's program and applying
the read speed patch for over a year and never
had a problem. YMMV.

max_clif · 07-05-2006

No problems with this program on thet 1620 for 9 months. Testing 1650 with speedpatch for 1 month now - no problems either for reading orburning.

wraithdu · 08-05-2006

lol Well I found a few DVDs that definitely exhibit the slow read speed issue - X-Men 2, Twister, and Die Another Day. Funny thing is all had DTS and RCE protection. Probably unrelated, but a funny coincidence.

Twister and X2 wanted 20+ minutes to rip, and Die Another Day ripped about the same as the normal firmware, except I could hear the drive spin up for a few seconds then slow back down. This cycle repeated, so I figured it was bad to let it go that way.

Interesting though, when I tried a transfer rate test in Nero CD/DVD Speed with these discs, they read up to 16x. When I tried to rip in CloneDVD2 is when I had the slowdowns.

gregtherotterius · 08-05-2006

have you tried other progs like decrypter? are the results the same?

I have not, and I'm not really interested to. I'm very happy with CloneDVD, so I'll sacrifice a few minutes read speed. We're only talking 5x-12x vs 6x-16x, so not a big deal to me. I already flashed back last night and the problem went away.

Hi

Thanks.

*DMagic1* · 18-05-2006

Big Thanks for the 12x options.

Supi · 18-05-2006

@ ala42: with the newest version of MediaCodeSpeedEdit (1.0.8.9) it ist not possible to reduce the write speed for Benq 1620 (FW B7W9.exe). The Radio Buttons are greyed out.
When i use 1.6.5, this option is available.
Can you check this?

It seems to be supported fine by the current version. The only thing missing is a test with a patched firmware on a real drive.

Slightly off topic in Benq forum, but MCSE also supports Samsung SH-W163A TS01, at least read-only. I have not tried to modify the file.

Philips DVDR 1660P1 1.5 is also supported (apparently the same media list as Benq 1650 BCHC).

Philips DVDR 1660P1 1.5/Philips DVDR 1668P1 1.5 have 'silent' support, as it has not been tested on a real drive.
