Does this product support Lightscribe?

I don't think it does. There is no mention of lightscribe in the installation/operation manual. Hope that this information will help you.

No. Reading more on the internet before I purchased this drive, I have found that LightScribe is discontinued.

To my knowledge no. Engravings can only be done with M-Disks, and only if you purchase the "Pro" retail package, which comes with the requisite software and drivers. The OEM package, which I have, contains no software whatsoever. However, there are some people, in forums and such, that swear that the engraving methodology it uses for M-Disks is identical to lightscribe. Checking with Asus's site shows that the E-Green utility (power saver) is the only available download for this device. Perhaps some third party solution? Other than that, the drive is very capable, even up to 128GB platters. To my knowledge no.

No. The white ones can be printed on though. You have to buy disks that say lightscribe on the package.

The Pawtec website provides third-party drivers for lightscribe to be used with Pawtec products (google: lightscribe download pawtec). I have not used lightscribe so I cannot comment on how well these drivers work. Good luck.

I have no real idea, but judging by some things in the documentation, it was before 2011. I removed the original disc drive from the computer and swapped the LightScribe drive into the computer and it functions as it should.

Yes, you can use lightscribe on any dvd burner in yor PC which has that feature.

LightScribe technology will not print labels on DVDs that say printable. DVDs that are compatible with LightScribe technology will say LightScribe.

Lightscribe software is free from the lightscribe website. This drive does not support lightscribe burning. Poor description.

Thank you for your interest in our products. This is not a Lightscribe compatible system.

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.

So you have to purchase a Lightscribe software in order for it to work with this unit?

I use Nero 10 with the lightscribe software. And the lightscribe disc has to be flipped top side down to "burn" the label on the disc.

Yes it works well with lightscribe but depending on the a art work you choose to burn, it can be time consuming. I have Windows 7 so this drive was plug and play. I prefer HP cds and dvds.

I was also unable to get it to work with light scribe even after trouble shooting with seller. Sent it back.

No. 'Lightscribe' media is a specific beast and getting harder to find.I should note that you can still burn CD's and DVD's as you would with ANY modern burner; however the 'lightscribe' feature requires you to use 'lightscibe' media.

It comes with a light scribe software of some kind. I'm not sure what version because I don't use it. However, I'm sure it'll will work with windows 7 and 8. I have a Mac and needed to install parallels to enable the lightscribe feature. The only thing you need a computer for, with this machine, is for creating lightscribe menus. If you're simply duplicating DVDs, it works on its own.
