what is light scribe?

Answer 1

LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology that utilizes specially coated recordable CD and DVD media to produce laser-etched labels.

The purpose of LightScribe is to allow users to create direct-to-disc labels (as opposed to stick-on labels), using their optical disc writer. Special discs and a compatible disc writer are required. After burning data to the read-side of the disc, the user simply turns the medium over and inserts it with the label side down. The drive's laser then etches into the label side in such a way that an image is produced.

The drive's laser then etches into the label side in such a way that an image is produced
The surface of a LightScribe disc is coated with a reactive dye that changes color when it absorbs 780nm infrared laser light. The etched label will show no noticeable fading under exposure to indoor lighting for at least 2 years. Optical media should always be stored in a protective sleeve or case that keeps the data content in the dark and safe from scratches. If properly stored as such, the label should last the life of the discs in real-world application.
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
The center of every LightScribe disc has a special code that allows the drive to know the precise rotational position of the disc. This in combination with the drive hardware allows it to know the precise position from the center outwards, and the disc can be labeled while spinning at high speed using these references. It also serves a secondary purpose: The same disc can be labeled with the same label again, several times. Each successive labeling will darken the blacks and generally produce a better image, and the successive burns will line up perfectly. However it is recommended to use the Control Panel to modify the printing parameters and have images with higher contrast.
various lighscribe drives are avalible on various websites including the Asus DRW-1814BL 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-028-AS&groupid=701&catid=10&subcat=349),most of the drives are less than £20 and some come with software which help you with designs for your cd
i hope this helped
good luck mate!
