My desktop had some memory problems, hence, I went to Villman to have it checked, and while they were tinkering with it, I saw the BenQ1640, and I was informed that it costs Php 3.1K at Villman, well...with that price range (and to think it's Villman, it could have been a lot cheaper at Gilmore, I had one installed and true enough upon reaching home, I tried decrypting and burning some titles utilizing the cheapest DVD-R CDR-King has to offer, and true enough as jpadua had posted, the discs all burned well, and the 1640 self adjusts it's speed.
I think it's inherent with the 1640, and true enough when I tried to burn with the DVDDecrypter, it burned with adjusted speeds.
Initially I thought something was wrong, since, my Liteon would emit an orange LED when burning DVDs and a green intermittent blinking LED for CDs, now the BenQ only emits the blinking green LED, when burning DVDs, I do hope it doesn't emit any ornage LED with CDs.
Now my question is, although, this adjustable speed might be a good thing for a new unit, wouldn't it get affected within a shorter span of time, since an adjustable speed pattern might not prove stable in the long run.
I have not fully checked with DVD infopro the burns I made, is the BenQ quality scan reliable?
