We measured the C1 / C2 error rate on the recorded discs we burned at the various supported writing speeds. The software we used is the latest PleXTools Professional and in particular the built-in Q-Check utility. The reader was the Plextor PX-716A.

- Summary

Half of the discs that we burned reported C2 errors with the Plextor 716A burner. However, all these discs were readable with the NEC ND-3530A, the LiteOn 167T, the AOpen 1648/AAP Pro and the LG 4163B drives. All the discs that did not report C2 errors, showed very good burning quality. BenQ should look into this and correct some minor problems with a future firmware release.
