I just got my drive (Oct 2006) and I have just the opposite problem. My drive burns coasters when it comes to the dvd part, but the lightscribe labels seem to be fine. So I have nice looking coasters, but coasters nontheless. Firmware is BCDB, and when I checked the site, that was the lastest. I'm using Memorex DVD+R v1.2 media, burned at 4x. When I burn the save .iso file in my NEC drive, it reads in all my players fine. But both burns in the BenQ drive have not worked. Any thoughts? (other than just burn in the NEC drive then label in the BenQ drive)
I'd advise looking around until you find BCGB firmware. cdfreaks.com probably has it, or you can just Google it, and I'm sure you'll find a site that you can download it from. It's not the absolute latest, but from what I can find, it's pretty much the best (most compatible, fewest overall issues) for the 1655, and I've had nothing but good results using it.
wow, i did that and so far so good. my first burn works in my pickiest dvd player. thanks. whoda thought the older firmware would work better than the newer one.
@fatdawg: Well, it may be "older" in terms of the absolute latest (There are BCHB and BCIB out there, I believe), but it's newer than what your drive had before, and does make many improvements on BCDB, and I know from experience, as that's what my drive had when it shipped, also. Not the worst out there, but not nearly as good as the BCGB, as you've seen. Glad it worked for you, happy burning!
