Will this be compatible with my desktop pc compaq presario- sr561F AMD athlon X2 4800 dual core processor? My current dvd bruner is a dvd/cd burner with lightscribe technology. Do I need an IHAS burner that uses lighscribe or will it still work? Also...

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.

It is plug and play for RW CD's or DVD's. If you want to use Lightscribe (Laser burning label maker direct to a disk)which is part of it, you will need additional software. Software is available free for the Windows platform, but you will want to search before you buy it for a Mac. It works great with windows 8.

Sounds like the 'old' DVD bruner needs to be replaced. If you were getting perfect recording using Amazon Basics and now you are not could be many things..1.) new vendor making the DVDs for Amazon, 2.)bad quality controls on that batch and many other production problems. OR it could just be that your burner is NOT functioning up to specs--get a new DVD burner.Do your research and get quality vs cheap same goes for blank DVDsThe below link will give you factual info on DVD media:http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htmGood hunting

I installed this in Win 7 SP1 with no issues. It didn't come with any software as a bare bones drive. If your having issues, the I would suggest going to the lightscribe web site and download the latest drivers for your OS if your having lightscribe burning issues. I didn't need any blu-ray software either.

Yes, I have it in one with a 240W HP computer, it recommends higher but mine works fine! I have a blu ray burner and a DVDRW and it still continues to go!

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.

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.

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?

Hi Leon: I can't remember if software came with this drive for litscribe. If it does, you should be able to use it for that. If it didn't, the answer would be "No." It would not have that ability. Just to keep in mind, if you have a drive that will inscribe, on a disc it doesn't matter if it is a CD or DVD....as long as it has the printable surface required for Litscribe. Thanks for asking

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.

I purchased an external burner...a Lenova....works very well...and it is relatively inexpensive...you will not be able to use a regular cd/dvd burner...you have to use a burner made for lightscribe...good luck

their website tigerdirect.com says "Optical Drive Blu-Ray Player", no mentioning of BD-RW or Blue Ray Burner. This is another BS from Asus actually, they should list each custom spec on their website. But they just put generic model information only.Same issue with Wireless ac, some has it some don't and can't be sure.

Thanks Vito, I have one more question mayby you can answer...The specs on this one say..."Store your music, videos, photos and documents with plenty of space to spare SuperMulti 8X DVD+ with Double Layer Support Play and create CDs and DVDs with this DVD/CD burner drive"...I would like to know if this computer is capable of RE- writing DVDs, or can it only burn them once??? or is this function merely dependant on the type of disk used for any computer??? I am so tecno-challenged!!! Can you tell???Thanksjz

All of my Lightscribe CDs and DVDs are HP-branded. As an experiment, I suggest you try moving your Pawtec drive to another computer with Lightscribe software and see if your discs are recognized. It is difficult to tell if the problem is related to hardware, software or media. I have had some success in taking a disc that wasn't recognized on one computer to another and burning the label perfectly. Because of this kind of issue I decided recently to phase out of Lightscribe production.

vinpower digital make dvd duplication equipment, you will find them using a search engine. I use the 5280S which seems to be a model designed for duplicators. I find it to be very stable in PC based systems having several burners. The drives are good. On one of the 5280S drives I have, it says "Philips & Lite-on Digital Solutions Corporation". It also says OPTIARC AD-5280S. Optiarc is a sony brand. I do no know the relationship of names. I remeber seeing Sony on some of my others but I dont have one of those in front of me. Hope this helps!
