Can I get some more feed back about the lightscribe capabilities of this DVD burner

I have only used this burner a few times. I have a laptop that has no DVD burner. So far worked very good.

It looks well and performs very well. It is reliable. It's not fast, but I don't think any lightscribe machines are fast. It takes about 20-min to do a LOT of writing in BOLD letters. I used an older model lightscribe machine by I/Omagic for about 7 years. The electrical connection at plug in quit. I then tried an ON-SALE machine. It worked several days at the most before it quit. I then went back and got the new I/Omagic. I'm happy.

My Laptop running Windows 7 Home 64 bits does not recognize this burner. I bought this product after being told by someone here (Dutch65) that it works on their Windows 7 64 bits but it doesn't work on mine. The company representative sent me an email with a telephone number to call for technical support. If you are running a system like mine you should probably think twice. At the moment, mine is just junk

I am using Windows 7 OS and the optical drive was recognised when inserted into the USB port. As for Lightscribing, I have copy of Nero 9 software from purchase of my previous Lightscribe drive which is able to work with the new Pawtec.

As long as your computer uses SATA connections it should be compatible. It says it burns at 24 X speed. It does not have lightscribe which allows you to print labels directly to the CD/DVD, using discs that are made for lightscribe. As I said in my review I found this drive to be extremely noisy and was not impressed at all with it. You might want to consider another drive. Any cd/dvd with a sata connection should work, and if you're not using the lightscribe why pay extra for it.

I purchased the Pawtec External USB 3.0 drive to utilize the Lightscribe capability that I lost when I replaced my HP desktop with an HP laptop that did not have the Lightscribe capability. I ran a set of Quickbooks training DVD's on the drive which included video so I can only assume that you can watch movies on the device. In any event, I always communicate with the manufacturer on any purchase for which I have questions prior to making my purchase.

You can download all of the Lightscribe software for free from the Pawtec web page. Your operating system should have the ability to read and write data disks. Previous answers covered DVD playing and writing.

1. The one I bought did come with a CD containing a piece of software to help the user to update the firmware. However, when I clicked on it, it said "No update available".I did go to the manufacturer's site but it said there was no update either.2. I have never used LightScribe so I don't know if this drive supports it.

When I purchased the Pawtec I ordered a 50 pack of HP DVD - R used all of then and ordered 50 pack HP DVD + R which is what I am now using. Both HP + and - DVD worked for me. You did buy THE SPECIAL LIGHTSCRIBE DVD'S CORRECT? And placed them in up-side-down to burn the label information on label side of the disk and NOT the DATA side of the disk?

I wish I could answer this for you, I purchased as a gift for my mother. She can barely plug it in and insert an existing CD. Haven't used lightscribe with it, but would be cool if it could.

Lightscribe is just an image printing onto the disc - you need to use lightscribe enabled disc to do the image - try going to www.lightscribe.com to get a better idea of what lightscribe means - this unit does burn both CD and DVD media -

Yes, I am using it successfully with CDBurnerXP and the software you can download from lightscribe.com, LS Simple Labeler and LS Template Labeler. This is also one of the only internal DVD-RW drives I could recently find still in stock and available that has Lightscribe.

On my Win7Pro machine, Windows did not recognize this as a LightScribe device. (And it is even an HP computer.) But, from the CD that came with the device, I loaded the drivers/Nero application and all is good. (I may have upgraded to newer versions of those, but I don't think so.)

You need an external DVD/CD player/writer. I happened to have one which does LightScribe, so I was okay. I did not check close enough in the specs to notice it did not come with the DVD/CD Writer.

The DVD burner does not have LightScribe capability. It doesn't have a docking port, but you could use a USB docking station. If your mixer has a USB, Thunderbolt, or Firewire interface, it would probably work. You'll need the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter if your mixer has a Firewire interface.

It will burn the media onto the disc, but it won't burn the images on the light scribe portion. Hope that helps.
