With the latest version of this tool, i got amazing results from sub-par fake verbatim media with my benq dw1650 drive. I edited the newest BCIC Firmware for the drive to use older write stratigies for the verbatim code DVD-R 16x MCC 03RG20 to the verbatim code DVD-R MCC 02RG20 which is just the older 8x version. Burning at 8x only seemed to do the trick with this Dynex! Festering media. I went from getting anything from below 70-80% Ratings in DvdinfoPro to 93-94% with the hack.
With real verbatim media the offical firmware for the drive works perfect at 4x and 8x. I don't know about faster speeds as i only burn max at 8x for crappy media that seems to have a preference for faster speeds. And slow as possable 4x with my good True Verbatim Media. You may want to switch back and forth for burning these getto media with your good media if you get cheap media for less important data like me. I tend to use cheap media for xbox backups cause in small games tends to be ok with bad media.
Bad media gives you the worst issues at the outside edge of the disk. There for if you use lower class media i would stick with data thats under the 3-4gb marks depending on your results.
Very cool tool! Helps to detect changes of firmware versions, so even if you do not patch your firmware it helps you to decide if its good to install the new firmware or better not to do so (because media codes you need had been added or removed). Unfortunatly however the tool has to be adapted to every new firmware version, so you have to wait til your version is supported.
Benq BCIB is still not supported. Hint to the developer: perhaps it would be possible to list at least the media codes.
