Lightscribe media - Club CDFreaks

I know Lightscribe has its own media to use that allow for graphics to be burned on the disk ... but will this drive burn any type of image at all on a regular cd/dvd?

Why would special Lightscribe discs exist then??

It's not possible with normal media.

As of Jan 07, I wasn't able to get google to admit to any hacks. It always amazes me to see how we are protected from our-selves anytime something new is introduced. Stupid engineers!

Of COURSE we all want to stuff a regular CD in, and decoratively fry it- just because we can. I can understand having the feature to protect from accidentally toasting the wrong side of your CD/DVD, but there SHOULD be an override!

The universal western hypocrisy is the public/governmental groveling

to the religion of darwin one the one hand -in which we are to believe that we all came from a rock, and that the fittest survive- and the imposition of more and more "saftey standards" to protect the unfit on the other. Asinine.

cyberbass, instead of ranting about how the world is conspiring to prevent you from doing anything harmful, why don't you investigate the facts?

In order to make a LightScribe label, a disc needs a special coating that reacts to the laser light from a LightScribe enabled drive, somewhat similar to how the data layer reacts to the laser light, except that the LightScribe label is supposed to be visible to the naked eye and the data side is supposed to be readable only by a laser.

So there is no way that you could make a label on the label side of a non-LightScribe disc using a LightScribe drive or any other drive for that matter!

If you want to make a label on the data side of a DVD, you can do so with a Labelflash enabled drive. This technology is also known as DiscT@2. Sony NEC Optiarc and Pioneer have Labelflash enabled drives.

Politics don't belong in the CDFreaks technical forums so please keep your posts here non-political in the future.

And if you look at the hub of a LightScribe disk you'll see a series of bars that are no doubt used for rotational position feedback.
