Dual Layer DVD Burner?

[mahjongmaniac]

I recieved one of the dual layer lg for Christmas. Installed easily. I was just wondering if I need more software then it came with to burn a protected dvd. I just tried one and it said it was protected and couldn't be burnt. So what software do I need to burn a protected dvd and is there any freeware?

Use DVDshrink and Nero, both can be obtained for free. Google them and as Majong said and you will find more than enough information to get started. Nero you can only get a demo for free which will integrate with DVDshrink and allow you to burn at 2X but it may be worth it to buy to get the fast speeds. Good luck

I dont believe that is a dual layer. I think that is the 1610 which is "officially" a single layer burner.

The 1620 is the dual layer.

Whether or not the 1610 can be unofficially flashed to make it a dual layer is a different story. Good burner, nonetheless.

the benq 1610 dvd burner is a pice of junk! everyone I know returned the dvd burner already.. hahaha

shows how crappy it is.. I'd even tested it out, it can't read any dvd-r's that I'd burned from my pioneer burner. lol. back to the store it goes. lol fs must have a high stack of thoses benq's lol.

Make sure if you own the Benq 1610 or 1620 you go to their site and get the latest firmware.
