I recently purchased an optical drive w/ lightscribe as one of its features. I was wondering what this new technology for optical drives does on your system. I thoroughly researched the internet and determined that it allows users to create direct-to-disc labels (as opposed to stick-on labels), using their optical disc writer.
LightScribe was conceived by HP Engineer Daryl Anderson in Corvallis, Oregon, and brought to market through the joint design efforts of HP's imaging and optical storage divisions.
Initially LightScribe was monochromatic, a grey etch on a gold looking surface. From late 2006, LightScribe discs are also available in colors for categorization. The "burning" is still monochromatic, but the backgrounds can now be produced in various colors, under the v1.2 specification. Currently it's not possible to rewrite a LightScribe label but it's possible to add more content to a label that is already burned.
Here's an example of a lightscribed disc
I will keep you posted of my own creation of lightscribed discs! Enjoy!
