Bought a new BenQ 1620 burner, what the heck, picked up 100 BenQ 8X DVD-R. ($30 at Meritline.) Lots of comments on the forums here about burning at 16X, as on the Meritline site. I was awefully curious as to the maker.

Turns out it is a Sony 08D1. The BenQ PicFect Technology is Sony's "Accucore" http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_ViewStatic-Start?page=/static/accucore/accucore.isml&DCMP=sony&HQS=accucore_accucoredvds

Nero sees this disc as 16X, no special tricks.

According to BenQ, the dye is Azo and the reflective layer is silver alloy. Sounds like a winner to me.

If tests show anything of note, I'll come back.

Paid $34.99 for a pachage of 100 at Future Shop. I cannot copy faster than 2X. Will not play in my Panasonic stand alone player.

I do not recommend to buy these for a LG GSA-404B burner.
