I have a rebadged benQ (Philips 8631), and thought that all BenQ drives can be booktyped including mine!
the 1625/1655 can do lightscribing,too. I only heard wonderful things about it.

I have the BenQ 1625 and it works well, it bitsets and has the lightscribe feature. Do not use that too much though, too lazy to buy the disks, but I have done a few and they come out okay, a printer would however make nicer tops. The BenQ1650/1655 is a very good drive and I recommend this one, lots of good feedback on it.

You meant "too cheap" right....lol
I've got a 1655 on the way and know it will have bitesetting capabilities. I'm also looking forward to the lightscribe function as I am easily drawn into gimicky technology (hope a color feature comes soon).

I hear they are looking into the color feature, it would be nice. The disks come out alright, but after seeing the printable disks, I lust for a new printer. Maybe Santa will be good to me, it is never to early to put in your list ;)

Are there any unofficial sites that have utility programs for BenQ burners?
I tried the BenQ site and there were no booktyping or any other downlaods to be found!
I have just bought a BenQ1650 and since it was an OEM it came with nutta
Thanks folks :)

Hi Behrad,
I believe for BenQ1650/1655 the "Solid-Burn" function is built in ... so even if you don't have the QSuite ... the burner will do its thing anyway.

hi all, just got the BenQ in this afternoon. All I can sa is that this drive rocks. I should have done this sooner rather than mess around with my old Liteon burner for as long as I did.
I tried a burn on 16X for a test and used my TDK media and guess what:
It worked like a charm. Burned great and playes fine and also scores 95 on the Nero speed test.

LOCOENG& pals yes the only regret I have about the BENQ'S is that they came out with the 1650 after I bought My 1655 and the 1650is less expensive ( read CHEAPER) and is essentially the same drive without lightscribe ! which I have'nt used yet (read Lazy & or Cheap) here! I have'nt looked lately but should'nt you be able to download Qsuite @ Benq's website ? anyhow my friends good luck & happy burning with your BENQ's whichever one you choose! CIAO!

Yes it will read DVD-Rom in iso read mode. You can booktype in Decrypter or Nero if you are using those programs, but you need to get the QSuite if you want it to do it automatically in every program. My BenQ 1625 will not automatically booktype in Clone, QSuite has to be their to tell it to.

For those on the balance about to buy the Benq DW-1650 or not,just close your eyes and go get it.It's the best burner on the actual market so far,well for quality/price.But if price isn't a problem for you then you can go get the Plextor PX-760A(premium line) which is the top one.For the 1650,if you have the choice between the OEM version and the retail version,better pay a little more and get the retail one as you'll get the QSuite together which contains almost everything you need to have the easiest and perfect burn.
If you're a lightscribe guy/gal,then get the 1655,it uses the same Philips chipset as the 1650 and as the legendary 1640.

@ TY4Ever,
Do you know what version of QSuite is bundled with the Retail BenQ? If it is QSuite 2.1 ... then I am OK to get OEM ... sinc eI have the QSuite already.
Thanks!

The version of Benq suite which comes along with the retail is 2.1,same as the one you already have.Guess that you can buy the OEM version afterall.Anyway,OEM or Retail one,it remains the great Benq,using the same chipset for both.
But one important thing to be aware is that the Benq 1670 doesn't use the same chipset as the 1640,1650 & 1655.It uses the Panasonic chipset,same which is used on the DQ60 and that change in chipset changes the performance and results for the worst.
Vincent.

@TY 4ever,
TY Thanks for the heads up on BenQ1670 ... I am glad you mentioned it ... because I just happen to have read it few minutes ago on different site ... that the Panasonic Chipset is not so hot. THANKS for covering me.
@rick5446,
Hey Rick do you mean it was Bubble-wrapped and then put in a regualr Brown box for UPS shipping ... right!?! If so, I got my BenQ1640 like that from them also ... I guess that only means you have gotten an OEM version!!!
