Hi Saugmon, Just a comment ... I disagree with your statement that BenQ burner prefers DVD+R ... I bought 50 Taiyo DVD+R 8X and 50 Taiyo DVD+R 16X and my BenQ 1640 with Firmware BSOB and BSMB DID NOT do any better than using the DVD-R ... I bought these DVD+Rs because I saw few postings with the same "comment" as yours on different website and I thought well there might be something to this ... Well ... these will be my LAST DVD+Rs that I will use. I ONLY use Taiyo Media ... forget everything else ... including Verbs. G!
@gonwk you'd be better off using the +Rs and booktyping with your BenQ. Mine(1650) loves 8X TY T02s+Rs book typing them to DVD-ROM.
gonwk: Try playing those benq dash backups on 50+ stand alone players and pc drives! The booktyped plus format to dvd-rom does kick some major butt when it comes to stand alone compatability. Stand alone player compatability only!
