Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - Jerry® - 09-26-2006 I've been looking at this: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10071 I'm relatively new to the whole Lightscribe thing - so any advice, experience, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jerry Re: Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - mattkime - 09-26-2006 how much do lightscribe discs cost? Re: Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - pixelzombie - 09-26-2006 you can get cheaper LS drives that aren't from Lacie, but they don't come with the labeling software... Re: Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - Zoidberg - 09-26-2006 I did an unofficial review of a particular model a while back: http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/64039/64039#msg-64039 Still using it; very happy with it both in terms of burning and labeling. [EDIT]: That's the exact model I have. Zero complaints. Let me know if you have any questions. Re: Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - tahoedrew - 09-26-2006 I'm thinking of the same thing Jerry, only I already have an external enclosure and I want to get rid of the old NEC drive that's in it and get a lightscribe enabled bare drive for replacement. They appear to be under $35 at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827151136 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106015 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827140019 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106019 ~A Re: Looking into buying a Lightscribe DVD burner - suggestions? - Harbourmaster - 09-26-2006 If you buy a LightScribe drive from any one other than Lacie you will have to pay seperatly for the Mac compatible software, either Lacies or from http://smileonmymac.com/disclabel/index.html |
