*Hef* · 24-02-2005

have you tried burning to any of these - media?

KN2 · 24-02-2005

Yes I have.
On the sony and fuji both rated 8x my burn@8 takes about 13min, my burns @12 takes about the same and my burns@16 takes about 20mins.

basically I'm one of those whose benq1620 was able to burn the sony and fuji @12 and @16. I have burned the TYG01 at 4(took about 13min) but I haven't tried the others recently.

*Hef* · 24-02-2005

Have you looked in the device manager and see what DMA mode your at? You should be at DMA Word 2 and not PIO mode. Are you using an ultra (blue plug on one end) cable?

KN2 · 24-02-2005

I'm sorry
Yes I have, dma 2. Switched back and forth b/w 80 wire and 40wire cables flat and round. Even master, slave and cable select jumpers. Switched IDE drivers back and forth b/w stock ms driver and nivia drivers neither helped.

*pinto2* · 24-02-2005

Nothing wrong with that. It's just a matter of design in latest DVD Identifier.

You will find the available write speeds displayed, as shown in attachment.

*Hef* · 24-02-2005

So you're not burned any full disk less then 12 mins? Get CD-DVD Speed and try a burst rate test should be 23mb.

I have but recently only with +R and at one time -R. The last time i checked it was at 23mb but I can verify again

I had stopped using -R about 2 months ago its only until recently I decided to use up my stock. Thats when I notcied my -R issue so I took out the Benq out of that system and placed it in this current one here but that didn't help.
