You should be ok with that firmware. There is another newer one,but I've seen a few bad posts about it. Try a few burns with it,and test out with Nero speed test's disc quality scan if you have that program.
Using quality media,these benq drives perform better at 8x and above. Beware of slow 2.4x and 4x burning.

I've done 1 dual layer disc using my 1650. I tried ripping with DVD Decrypter in Mode iso read,and then tried to burn it using IMGburn. It wouldn't even try to burn.
I tried a couple times using DVD Decrypter MODE ISO write,and No dice.
I then deleted the movie,started over from scratch,used DVD Decrypter ISO read and write mode only and perfect backup. I must have gotten some bad data onto my harddrive.
I've got quite a few blank verbatim +2.4x discs,but rarely use them.These are for my special movies-hint:Jenna J, Briana B!

I've done 1 movie with the 1650 to DL+R. I haven't watched in its entirety. Just scanned through. Seems to be OK. I used Shrink to create ISO image file and burn with DVD Decrypter, after unchecking burn with Nero.

Thanks for the info.
Like you, I have a bunch of DL discs and hardly ever use them. It's hard to pass up a real good sale. Ha, ha! At the rate that I use them, they will last about 4 or 5 years!

redice: I'll burn ty-g02 at either 4x or 8x. For my 1650,the ty-g02 scans are better with a 4x burn. Just the opposite of verbatim.
Plus,Benqs highly favor the plus format for booktyping purposes.I do have more issues with the dash format and gotta watch out for where I send them. Booktyped backups? No problem who I send them to,they'll play just about anywhere.
Those ty-G02's are shiny inkjet printable.Much cheaper than the plus format.Almost half the price! Other wise,plus format for everything else.
I have no scans for my 1650 ty-g02 backups,but here's a couple of old ones from my very awesome benq 1640:
4x
8x

The +8x taiyo yuden are Yuden000-T02. These burn very well at 8x. They'll even burn at 16x in my benq 1620s.
Myself: I'd go with 4x on my Ty-G02,but 8x on Yuden000-T02. I don't do a lot of dash.Looking at my 1640 ty-go2 scans,8x was a lot worse on that drive as for PIF errors.
All 4 of my benq highly favor the plus format,which booktypes my backups to dvd-rom. The few times I venture away from plus,is because of the higher cost of plus format inkjet printable media.

Yeah I burn those TY T02s at 8X always, no coasters, on LG Ext 2166 and BenQ 1650 drives. Luckily I bought up some 8X MIJ +R Sonys that code out as Yuden000-TO2s, because I have 1 disc left of my original TO2 TYs.

Yes. The light is on when a disc is present and blinks when ripping or burning.

Is anybody having trouble getting the BQ 1650 to recognize (burn)2.4X Fujifilm DL +R discs. I tried to burn one last night. Decrypter balked even tho it was showing the media in identification area. When I tried it in my 2166D LG burner. Decrypter started right away and burned that DL Fuji. I didn't buy these(gift) and I was just using the 3 I had up. But was disappointed that the BQ failed the burn. It has no trouble with Verb DLs. I'm starting to think the LG is as good as the BQ.
