philips PBDV-1640P B 3.0 can upgrade with the patch oficcial?

In this case, what´s best firmware to this Writer?

Can write DVD +R DL PS2 patched with toxic patch and burn good with this writer or wait at firmware DVD DL -R to this writers?

thank you

Please release a firmware that will help my BenQ burn just one of my discs better than my other drives.

How about just "please release firmware" ? Philips haven't release firmware for over three months, and that was the 3.4 that breaks on Nforce boards. Whenever you ask about it, they either ignore you or say "soon" without telling you when that might be.

Philips drives are basically unsupported as far as I can tell, because BenQ have released several firmwares in this time to fix these bugs but Philips haven't bothered. I won't be buying another Philips drive and I won't be recommending them to others for this reason alone - no support.

Philips were good back in the day, but that day is long gone. They should stick to designing chipsets and leave the retailing to others like Benq. Speaking of Benq, their release of QSuite couldn't have come at a better time. WOPC was driving me mad. They should now find a way to disable it permanently.

philips PBDV-1640P 3.0 can burn with this firmware DVD +R DL Traxdata?
¿What is the best disc DL +R to this writers?

I'm guessing you want Verbatim DVD+R DL discs which are the best quality, the Traxdata DVD+R DL are based on a Ritek dye which are of poor quality and you are probably wasting your money buying those Traxdata discs.

My first DVD DL +R burn DVD decrypter at 2,4X have a write error interpretation and there is a MKM wich a PS2 game with PS2 toxic patched *.mds to load *.iso
I want use other disc the problems is what are very expensive Verbatim 9€ or more, Traxdata 7€ , TDK 12€ ¿where do yo buy ritek?

I think you just did and as you fopund out Ritek DL suck.

what ID have DVD DL +R ridisc?

RiDisc also use the poor quality Ritek dye, if you want a good quality DVD+R DL then your gonna have to get the Verbatim DVD+R DL which uses the good MKM dye.

For BenQ
- Add more CD-R media support
or
- Increase "Unknown" CD-R write speed 16X to 32/40X

I have many CD-R. My CD-RW drive can write it maximun speed. But BenQ 1620 pro can write it only under 16X. Most populer media(like Taiyo-Yuden, Fusion, Vervaterm, etc.) can write 40X...

At present, most of CD-R can support 52X...

Thanks.

For my BenQ 1620 : a short wish list...
- As already said, BenQ shall improve RICOHJPND00 (DL) support.
- Burning quality on MKMA02 (DVD+RW 4X) could improve too (less PI).

What else ? BenQ 1620 doing free coffee for everyone is possible ?

Fix PIF spiking at 16x when writing on DVD+R discs! =)
Auto enabled fast lead-out... like in BenQ 1640.

* Add support for overburning DVD+R discs for all BenQ and Philips drives
* Fix scanning dropouts at all speeds and discs for all BenQ and Philips drives

For me, please find a way to make DC-Erasing on this drive possible (like in the case of NuTech drives)

Please Unlock 1625 Write Speeds. Mine wont Write 16X on any Media.

Adding my vote for overburn and overspeeding (Especially of the 1640) if possible.

Overspeeding is coming for DW1640, but the beta firmware I have is mostly usable for making overspeed coasters

@OC , You made me Snort My Coke. Just think about how fast you could make a coaster. Hahahah!

LOL! - dats a good one .... :P .... seems like i'm having good results with BSJB+MSCE tweaking some media, but if the Qscan tells me it's bad, it's really bad.

1ECC PIF scanning.

Would be nice if Q-Suite told us what media was supported and what wasn't. Also, would be nice if Q-Suite incorporated a CD-Speed like PI/PIF/PO/Jitter graph scan module since theres already a QScan one, might as well put it in all one place.

Loving solidburn - I believe it is a very useful firmware tool, gives you the edge over the others. It's also working good as an enthusiast's tool .... the only company to allow home users the choice of burn speeds for overspeeding, and few coasters as the drive is intellegent enough not to let anything impossible happen. Congrats for this value adding tool!

Do Benq people even read this?

I don't know.. they haven't added or fixed anything I suggested yet. =P

good question: - would be a waste of typing .... if they didn't/
If only they could learn more than 6 media too wid solidburn. I have 10 different mediaz :S
