I doubt it, since I downloaded it from BenQ's webpage before sending it to you

Posted: **Sat Apr 08, 2006 8:01 am**

Good. I still can't find the URL you used though.

OH Boy, thanks. Been a while since they updated it, hope it keeps getting better, now off to waste yet more media for the quest... :wink:

Not yet on ftp://ftp.benq-eu.com/dvd-rw/firmware/dw1655/

Got the list of modifications?

Posted: **Tue Apr 11, 2006 8:56 pm**

Nope, I don't have a change log yet. They've not on the main BenQ support site either. Hopefully soon..

I still wonder if TY will let the media come out.... even if the media is the best in the world, the format will never let it be very compatible.

your'e talking about the TYG11 ? what is that ?

Posted: **Sat Apr 15, 2006 6:10 am**

TYG11 is the long rumoured Taiyo Yuden dual layer -R.

is this an official firmware? Can't see it anywhere else....

Posted: **Sat Apr 15, 2006 8:28 pm**

It's on BenQ China's website so its official in my book.

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 8:55 am**

ok....I just find it a bit strange that it is nowhere else....maybe one of those China only updates for poor media specific to that region...

thanks Ian....you figure it is ok to apply it?

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:29 am**

Well, it is typical for BenQ firmwares to take a while (weeks, months) to make it to their international counterparts' websites. You do a make a valid point regarding the possibility of a specialized firmware for China, because BenQ did release a China-only firmware, B7S9, for the DW1620. It was supposed to be tweaked for fakes and low quality media.

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:00 pm**

ok then....has anyone tried it?

don't see it on cd freaks

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:21 pm**

Yes, it seems to work OK so far. Dont know that it's better but it's not any worse either. Nice thing about BenQ is they don't care if you go back on a older Firmware or not. You don't like it just go back to earlier version with no mucking around

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:37 pm**

Looking at the change log, I probably won't update my drive.

As far as it being a specific firmware for China, I don't think that's the case. BenQ really hasn't done that sort of thing.

Keep in mind that the whole BenQ/Lite-On thing has thrown both companies for a loop. Putting the latest firmware update is probably the last thing on their mind right now.

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:15 pm**

well I did it...had original anyway (BCAB)....so why not eh?

what is the change log Ian?

thanks for the info as usual

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:24 pm**

There isn't a change log yet.. I was just looking at the list of new media Italianjob posted.

Posted: **Sun Apr 16, 2006 11:21 pm**

I'm using in it my review. All 16x DVDR media will be burned with this firmware, unless a newer one comes out soon (the same with RW and DL media).
