I'm not sure if this is Nero (latest revision) or burner related but I tried using this program with a friends HP740 (I think, it comes standard with HP Pavilion a1250N). I used a .jpg of the Young Frankenstein disc, mounted it between the lines, pressed the button and waited about 30 minutes and it spit out a splotchy, pinwheelish, spiral pattern. Anyone with knowledge of this program, or that recognize this as a lightscribe specific problem feel free to dissect this. Thanks.
I know it don't help with your problem. I have no problem with latest nero and lightscribe nor with any version before that had lightscribe.
I've searched forums here, Yahoo'd this and Googled that and are not quite sure where the problem lies. I don't use Lightscribe but he wanted to try it out and I thought I could get it to work. Was it because its a full color .jpg? Did I not set something up right, I assume I did because it went through all the steps and I also assume if I did something wrong it would tell me. Too much assuming for my logic control center to process.
Im not sure what you were doing there, but heres the lightscribe tutorial. When i use an image, full color is fine as it will convert it to greyscale. Click on that and try it their way: http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/FAQs_TOP_20.html#8 That one is under # 8 on the FAQ page.
Thanks for the reply. I seen someone else started a thread too. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/322521 There are some other tips and links to help also. I told my friend with the original problem to check these threads and use the help, now I will wait a day or two and see if there is any luck.
If you look in this lightscribe thread, i linked to many of the good lightscribe posts here. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/318855 Those threads will answer just about any lightscribe problem, as most of the major problems using lightscribe are asked, and/or answered in those threads.
I have the same issue with an HP Pavillion DV8000 series laptop... I tried the clean tool but to no avail... nero never offers me the lightscribing options. The SOnic tool that comes with the laptop lightscribes very well though...
