Software installer
BenQ QSuite
QSuite is an application that controls several useful features available in BenQ DVD writers.
A dialog that appears every time QSuite is started warns that it works only with selected BenQ drives and asks the user to take time and learn the drive's features controlled from QSuite. None of these features are potentially damaging, but some could lead to confusing behaviors (Test Write, for one, could look as drive malfunction if turned on inadvertently).
QSuite opening dialog
The Information tab of QSuite reports basic information on the selected drive and the disc in the drive, if one is inserted:

The Book Type tab displays book types to be assigned to each of the three types of DVD+ media as it's burned by the drive, and allows any of the three types to be changed to either DVD-ROM or the native type:

The WOPC tab offers an explanation of how WOPC (Walking Optimal Power Control) works and lets the user enable or disable it:

The Test Write tab provides controls to enable or disable writing simulation. This is a temporary setting; if enabled, simulation mode will revert to disabled state after the drive is powered down or the computer is rebooted.

The Solid Burn tab allows the user to disable or enable SolidBurn functionality. By default, SolidBurn is enabled for unknown media and disabled for media that is present in the drive's media tables. In the screenshot below, we have enabled SolidBurn for all media because this is required for overspeeding (described below):

The OverSpeed tab contains controls that disable or enable overspeeding. We have conducted a few overspeeding tests with BenQ DW1800 and their results are presented in the Advanced tests chapter of this review. The screenshot below shows overspeeding enabled for our tests:

This is due to a rarely noticed SHM-165P6S behavior.
It reads 8x DVD+R and DVD-R media at 12x CAV.
