Default Dual Layer DVD Burner?
I have been waiting for boxing day for a deal on a Dual Layer DVD burner - anyone see any yet?

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.

If the poster on the other thread is right, $100 rebate and may not be Benq's, I would stay away, even futher away if it is 1610.

Math...

1610? $149.99 x1.15 (tax) -$100 rebate = $72.49

1620 oem $75x1.15 =$86.25 some shop are selling as low as $68 if you search hard.

According to the WebID on the flyer it is a BenQ DW1610 16X DVD+/-RW Internal Drive.

Box says Dual but from what I read here it is not dual out of the box?

Box says DUAL format - I don't think that is the same as dual layer.

yah.. ur right.... DUAL FORMAT is NOT the same as DUAL LAYER........ BIG DIFFERENCE!

dual format = +/-
dual layer = dvd+r dl = ~8.5 GB one dvd disc double sided....

----------------------
EDIT: dual layer = dvd+r dl = ~8.5 GB one dvd disc 2 layers!
plz 4give my mistake!...
-----------------------

btw does n e 1 know whether or not 1610 is flashable to a dual layer drive??? if it CAN, then i might buy this drive.... but if it CAN'T then $50 after MIR for 1 1610 single layer is NOT such a great deal!

Well, since that Futureshop one was not dual layer (rather DUAL FORMAT)... OEMExpress has the BENQ Dual LAYER 16x dvd burner on sale for $69.99.

Of course you'll have to be in one of the cities that has an OEMEXpress though. http://www.oemexpress.com sale is in store and cash/interac only.

How is the BenQ DW1620 with Princo's and Ritek's / Rydata?

Can it burn the discs at the proper speeds?
