No Worries - that's my understanding of OEM, I am sure there are more learned definitions tho

Help! Will the 1655 be able to lightscribe right out of the box, ie: with the included software? I also have to externally mount this burner. Will it fit into a standard sized external case? And lastly, where can I purchase a decent case at a fair price? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

mifireman, nice to see another fireman in the forum. To answer your question, your burner should work right out of the box. I had a small problem with mine because the LightScribe host software that was supposed to come with it was not on the disc. After downloading it off the net mine worked like a charm. I haven't heard of anyone else having that problem so you should be fine. The drive is the standard size of any internal burner, so I wouldn't think you would have any problem mounting it in a standard external case. As for were to find one for a good price, I'm not sure. You could always try Newegg.com, they are a great online store.

My interpritation of OEM is usually software that is included with a computer product that is not quite a full version and will only alow limited use of the basic features to access the full features it must be registered and payed for . This is also known as bundled software . In the case of The BENQ like many other companies these days they have worked out a deal with Nero to supply a full working version of Nero 6 which is an older version (NERO 7 is the newest). In hopes that you will upgrade or buy the newest version Nero 7. OEM is also used in the auto industry if you look at the packaging on aftermarket auto parts or Oil you will notice that they should say meets or exeeds OEM specifications . In other words its as good as or better than the parts that supplied with your car when it was new.

Hi...
From what I have seen, the QSuite is only availabe with the BenQ 60. (New Model based on Teac chipset)
I have the Dq60 which came with the suite but the web site says this software is tailored to the Dq60 only. (have not even used or installed the suite yet and am sending back this Dq60 unit)

mifirman,
I live and work in Southern Oregon - nice to meet you. To get an image in your signature, you need to go to 'edit personal info' in the 'my account' tab and insert the image url that you would like to be displayed between the UBB tags [img]. The picture has to be uploaded to an image hosting site, there are many free ones on the net. I'm sure someone in this thread can give you the name of a good one.

You do not need to install Nero to get the LightScribe function, but you do need to download the LightScribe host software if you do not install the Nero. I downloaded it from here:
Nero.com/LS_HSI.EXE" class="korostus" target="_blank">http://dl1.Nero.com/LS_HSI.EXE
I did not install the Nero that came with the drive because I already had the Nero 7 ultra edition. Apparently the LightScribe host software is in the Nero program on the disc. This would explain why I didn't get it on mine because I only installed the Q suite and did not see any LightScribe software listed on the install disc.
good luck

FiremanDB thanks for your help. That's too complicated for an attic rat! Ordering my 1655 next week. Do you burn +R or -R? I burn +R's but they will only play on some DVD players. Do you know why? Stay low and safe , bud.

What exactly is book typing I have Qsuite 2.1 but it doesn't make much sense . I have burned home videos in both DVD-R and +r and they both play no problems in my sony DVD player . If it increases compatibility why was it not set that way in the first place.

mifireman - I used to burn nothing but DVD-R's but I could never get them to play in the stand alone DVD players at work. Now that I have Nero and this new burner, I only burn DVD+R's because I can booktype them to read as DVD-ROM's and the DVD player at work will read them. Entertainment for the crew at work is important you know!

FiremanDB- Thanks for the help & Thanks also for doing your job ! & to your fellow firefighters & to mifireman as well ! You guys & gals are american hero's Like our millitary & police officers & often times it may seem like a thankless job ! SO Thanks guys ! I understand better now FiremanDB that the Nero /lightscribe software included in the retail box is entertwined together so to use that version I do load Nero and if I don't wnat to do that I go to the website you mentioned ! Okay I can handle that ! Now I just have to decide whether or not to put the NEC-2500 A that the BenQ will replace into a USB Box or not ? But there's always time ! now I just have to decide whether I wait till my drive comes in to install the HDD too or just dive in ! What do you think about indecisiveness ? Gee! I don't know LOL!!!!! Thanks again BURN'em on both sides (MEDIA) Happy burning !

Dear Fireman DB, thanks. What brand do you use? I have had excellent results with Verbatim. Very seldom do I make a coaster. I have been unable to find Dual Layer +R's with lightscribe by Verbatim. Do they even exist? Can you reccommend a +R dual layer with lightscribe?
Dear BIGTOXY69 thanks for the compliment. It's always uplifting to get a sincere compliment. Especially today, I just turned 40, AHHHHHH! Now I have to go buy a sports car, a Members Only jacket, and relive my childhood!

mifirman, I bought a 50 pack of Ridata DVD-R's a while back because they were a good deal and have not had good results (several coasters). I recently bought Taiyo Yuden +R's and have been very impressed. I tested them using the Nero CD/DVD speed test for quality and could not find a Ridata disc that I had burned that scored over 91 on quality (burning at 4x). The Taiyo Yudens seem to always score 97 or better, and thats burning at 8x. I have also had good results with the Maxell High Grade DVD+R's (made in Japan) and Verbatim LightScribe DVD+R's.
I will be using the Verbatim LightScribes for everything that I will be putting a custom label on, and the T.Y.'s for everything else. I have not tried a double layer burn yet, and I don't know of any DL LightScribe media out there. HP may have some, but I won't be buying their brand as I believe it is far inferior to Verbatim Lightscribe DVD media.
NewEgg.com always seems to have Taiyo Yuden DVD's for a good price, and I buy Verbatim LightScribe media at Wal-Mart because I don't have to wait for someone to mail it, and they have good prices.

I use Taiyo Yuden TYG02, these were recommended to me after I had trouble with "Grade A" Ritek G05's....
Not a bad burn with the TYG02's the burn quality with DVDinfoPro is always a minimum of 97% except when I experimented with "overspeeding" and burnt at 12x.... I think it dropped to 95% then. That said they play fine on my standalone player. I also have some TYG03 16x DVD-R, not had a chance to try those yet but am hoping for similar results.
Back on topic - it appears that the Retail version of the DW1655 will be available in England in and around the 20th January !!! Wahey ! Komplett will be selling both versions and my preferred supplier SVP are also going to be selling them.
