TIPS: Compatible blanks Riplock and burning program

As the other reviewers have written enough about the technical features of the torch, I want to give you a few practical tips:

1. For BD-burning I use the program ImgBurn (freeware): small, effective and safe.

2. The enclosed Verbatim blank was fired without hesitation.

I then ventured to the inexpensive 4X BR blanks of MediaRange (B25) and has been for 18 Try not disappointed one single time: 100%. The blanks have been read by the PS3 and my stand-alone player (SONY BDP-S360) without any problems.

3. The company LG builds in their drives an ever known. "Riplock" one, which serves to artificially / reduce the readout power at video files technical. It is as if Porsche to sell a 500-horsepower car and down slow down to 100km / h. An Impudence! On the Internet, there are a "Riplock patch", with which you can manipulate the firmware and get the full power. ATTENTION: void your warranty! And only at your own risk!

Overall, I am more than satisfied with this burner. It is relatively cheap, fast (after the patch), silent and burning the cheap blanks reliably.

Because of Riplock I would like 4 stars awarded - after much thought yet 5. A Best Buy !!!!
