One of the latest releases from BenQ labs is the BenQ DW1625, a 16x/8x DVD Burner. It is similar to the 1620 model but does not support 16x/16x as the 1620 does. The main feature of this drive is the LightScribe technology. The DW1625 can burn up to 16x and 4x speeds with DVD+R and +RW media, and up to 8x and 4x speeds with DVD-R and -RW media. It can also produce a full DL disc in almost 24mins at 2.4x burning speed.

BenQ's exclusive Write Right Technology utilizies two powerful features: Tile Control and WOPC II (Walking Optimal Power Control II). By using these features, the DW1625 is able to maintain perfect control over both the laser beam angle and the power rate being projected onto the disc, ensuring every bit of your data is written at the best possible quality.

WOPC + BLER OPC: Unlike other drives which preset the writing power before the actual writing of data, the WOPC II (Walking Optimal Power Control) algorithm evaluates the writing quality constantly and adjusts the writing power accordingly, in order to ensure the best possible writing quality over the entire disc. The BLER OPC (Block Error Rate Optimal Power Control) furthur enhances the writing quality near the end of the disc, where the risk of wraping is higher.
