i was going to buy a new dvd burner with lightscribe but someone said it takes two hours for it to lightscribe a label onto the disc, is this true
Just bought one, to lightscribe 4 seprate pictures on one disk took about 28 minutes. I don't know as of yet if a more simple piture would take less, regardless its worth the wait!
Crazy sig you have there wolf : ) Here are some pics done with lightscribe.... http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=lightscribe&hl=en
pricing around it seems to be about an extra 20p or 30p on the media CD's or DVD's.... And for the writers it seems to be an extra £5 or £10 than you would pay for a non-lightscribe....
put a light scribe in the wifes computer she's got an old p4 3.2 with only a gig of ram takes 15 - 20 minutes to burn the picture on she thinks it's great the darn discs are a pound each compared to my normal whitetops which are only 11 pence each
for real elaborate logos on a lightscribed disc, does the dual layer burners come with all the software or do you need to purchase extra software for the more elaborate logos did they start selling dvd burners that burn both dual layer dvd -r's and dvd +r's with both lighscribe
nope you should get all you need with the hardwear basically if you can get it on the computer you can burn it on the cd or dvd
on printing label you have to calibrate the printer for it to line up on the label. do you have to calibrate the laser lightscribe burner in some way?
Well being newer technology, as of now, yes lightscribe will only scribe in shades of blacks and grays! Once lightscribe goes to colors.....say good bye to printable labels and cds!!!
i bought the hp dvd writer with lightscribe and i brought it back a week later. The top of the disk is like a copper color and your images inscribe in a light fade of black. Could be darker. I was making coaster like crazy. Every other disk i had to throw out. Either it said insert disk when there was one in there or just kept screaming at me error, error,sometimes it would say missing files. So i bought a sony dru-800ul and works like a charm. Burned over 100 disks so far and no problems.
k i have an desktop 1GB Memory, 200GB Hard Drive, 2 drives where the top one is dvdr lightscribe & bottom is dvdrom.. It's pretty fast when i burn a movie only takes like 10 mins. it's a 16x. However, was wondering what kind of program do i need in order to try this lightscribing? i am very interested b/c i want to be more organized & looks a lot neater to do so? Also what kind of media would i buy? thx...
I hear that the nero program supports lightscribe now but I'm not positive if its the new nero 7 edition or not. I bought my lightscribe drive as a add on to my computer system and the drive came with software called SureThing, I'm pretty happy with it......its easy to use and you can even make dvd & cd case covers with it! Their website is www.surething.com I this helps!
Also in reply to the remark up above I noticed if your dealing with pictures with darker backgounds ect. you can do a dual burn......once the cd is done it will automaticly eject (don't touch the cd at all) just reinsert it back in the drive and scribe it again....... I do this with most of my picture cds, they look much better and I have never had a messed up scribe yet........ with a disk that will just have letters, numbers, ect. one burn is enough! As for the kind of disk, I got a hold of some Memorex CD-R lightscribe disk and I'm very happy with them, as for DVD-R, +R's, whatever, I have only tried Verbatim DVD's and The pictures don't seem to look as nice as the Memorex, I not sure if its the media type or the maker? But then again I have not tried another DVD-R media maker yet either.
