I have always used DXC with an old Pioneer A105 and burned 8x -R Sony media at the know maximum A105 burn speed of 4X. Nothing to worry about (a no brainer) and gotten great compatibility results with DXC 1.5.2. But they stopped making Sony -R's (OEM'd TY's) in the 8X speed so I was forced to change media and Burner.
I just bought a BenQ 1655 and am using +R 16x Sony media and bitsetting to DVD-ROM via BenQ's Q-Suite utility.
My question is, since we all know that DXC 1.5.2 doesn't have a burn speed adjustment, how can I tell what speed I am burning at?
It has been said in the past that DXC only burns at the maximum speed of one's burner and media speed combination but the burn times don't seem to indicate a 12x or 16x burn speed. From testing on "other" software, 12X is my optimal burn speed using the BenQ and 16X media. But I have no idea what speed 1.5.2 is burning at. BTW there is no speed control in BenQ's Q-Suite "burner-control" software to help me out here.
Thanks,

Hello .... hellow ... that's strange ... there's no echo Mr. Toomey. As a matter of fact, I don't hear any background noise at all. There are no people here ... not even ragtags. Where are all the people? My car won't start. My matches won't work ... my beer tastes flat ... my sandwich has no flavor.
Wait ... what's that crunching noise? ...crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch ... look at those ugly creatures eating up the DXC forum! ... my god(!) ... it's the Langoliers eating up the threads that are no longer relative to our time!

Ahhhh!!! ... Got to get away ... I'm trapped in a Stephen King movie!

Whisper,
See "how time flies" in this article:

Keep in mind they are average times, some burners are faster. Also your system will have some bearing.

mackdl,
Thanks for responding. Nice chart at that site. I guess timing a burn would be give me an approximate BenQ burn speed.
It just occured to me that 1.5.2 has a selection choice for a "Detailed Log" under "Advanced Options". Maybe that will note what speed the Gearworks burning engine and my 1655 are burning my Sony +R 16X disks at.

Thanks Ireland. It's not like it's a life & death question. Since I installed the 1655, my 1.5.2 burns play fine. It's just that the general consensus in the cdf BenQ section is that the newish Sony 16X +R disks should be burned at 12X for best results and never less than 8X.
I had just finished watching the Langoliers with some kids over the Labor Day weekend and got a little wacky in my posting above thinking comedy might get me a response better than posting "bump"!
Best regards,
