| 662735 | 2008-04-26 06:00:00 | I'm wanting to purchase a LS burner. Looked on a few forums for opinions / reviews but many are out of date. Can anyone share their opinion / experience of the best burner / media and software to use please. Thanks. | yorkshirekid (9033) | ||
| 662736 | 2008-04-26 06:07:00 | Any cheap LS burner will work. Not too sure about the program, I just use Nero 7. You also have to install lightscribe from here (http://www.lightscribe.com) For it to work properly. Thats if you want to use Nero. Other programs may support it, without this file There are probably other programs around tho. All you need is a cd label program, that prints LS labels |

| 662737 | 2008-04-26 06:09:00 | Hi Yorkshirekid - I have an ASUS DRW1814 SATA DVD drive which is Lightscribe capable and I can recommend it - It only cost around $60 about 6 months ago which I thought was good value at the time. It came with Nero 7 essentials which has limited capabilities but it's done all I've asked of it. I've used Verbatim and Imation CD's and DVD's and have found them reliable with the only "coasters" being down to me not the software or drive. Try to get Lightscribe version 1.2 discs as they burn much faster around 20 minutes or so per label. I tend to do 2 runs at the best quality to get a better label. |

| 662738 | 2008-04-26 06:13:00 | Thanks for that. Just done some more reading and have decided NOT to bother. Seems the better option is to use printable media and get a decent printer. More versatility offered. Not certain of the price diff but don't care as I want a quality end result and prining offers this. So, I guess this thread is dead unless anyone want to advice me on the same questions but with the emphasis on colour printing. | yorkshirekid (9033) | ||
