Manufacturer's product description
Tired of the frequent firmware updates required to maintain your drive's support of blank DVD media? With SolidBurn, the EW164B is able to apply its own Self-Learning. Writing Strategy algorithm to allow unknown DVD±R media to be written with increased quality. So there is no need for users to update the media support list in their DVD drive as the drive keeps itself up-to-date and ensures best writing quality on all DVD±R media. Better yet, SolidBurn supports the Over-Speed Burning that allows you to burn a 4x or 8x DVD±R disc at 8x or higher speeds. BenQ's exclusive Write Right Technology utilizes two powerful features: Tilt Control and WOPC II (Walking Optimal Power Control II). By using these features, the EW164B is able to maintain perfect control over the laser beam angle and the power rate being projected onto the disc, ensuring your data is written at the best possible quality. With WOPC II, the writing quality is constantly evaluated, and the writing power adjusted accordingly during the recording process to ensure optimal writing quality over the entire disc. Tilt Control further ensures optimal writing quality by repositioning the OPU (Optical Pickup Unit) in order to maintain a 90-degree angle between the laser beam and the disc surface at all times, even on warped discs.
