  • Abstract:  The BC-1205PT is a SATA DVD writer that can also read Blu-ray discs. It cant write data to blank Blu-ray discs, but Blu-ray writers are a lot more expensive. We had no trouble watching our Blu-ray movies using the included copy of CyberLink PowerDV...

  • Abstract:  With Blu-ray taking tentative steps towards mainstream acceptance, its heartening to see prices dropping. Blu-ray writers such as the Lite-On LH-2B1S (web ID: 110688) are tempting, but, at £400, theyre out of range for those with ambitious media-c...

  • Source: Ahead Software Neros CD Speed burn tests a DVD+R DL rated at 2.4x. The program emulates a burn that would fill the disc with 8.5GB of data. This test is done by simply placing blank recording media into the burner and running CD Speed the sof...

  • Full-range CD and DVD recording capabilities, Blu-ray Disc movie playback, CyberLink BD-capable bundled decoder software, Nearly-silent optical drive
  • Slow CD and DVD read speeds, Expensive optical drive, No digitalaudio cable included, Lackluster DualLayer DVD burning speed
  • Whats Blu-ray, if not a shining star? It seems like anything wearing the BD badge these days just seems to look better. But maybe its just me, and my desire to touch all new technologies. Either way, ASUS has done a good job of reining in my atten...

  • Abstract:  The overall performance of this drive in regards to its DVD and CD performance is on-par with its ratings, however the Blu-Ray read speeds were a bit of a let-down as it never hit above the 2x-rating. Burning times are about what I expected and can ea...

  • Until now, adding a Blu-ray drive to your computer has been a costly investment. The high price of Blu-ray Disc writers has put them out of reach for most consumers, especially those that are only looking to play movies. With the BC-1205PT, ASUS has ma...

  • Abstract:  ASUS Blu-Ray BC-1205PT QuickShotAlthough the mainstream press continues to write about the uncertain war between Blu-ray and HD DVD as if it were going to lead to a complete failure of either, the rest of us know better. Unlike VHS vs. Betamax where te...

  • Concluding, the ASUS BC1205PT drive, despite the fact that it contains the same chipset as the Pioneer BDC-202 drive, produced much more encouraging results than its "competitor". Its price on e-shops is somewhere around US$290, which makes it one o...

  • Abstract:  With the current full-scale format war that we alluded to in our introduction still raging, its difficult to label any next-generation optical drive as a must buy simply due to the inherent possibility of one of the two competing formats dying out....
