Do you mean "Do I need labels"? Labels are nice, of course, but you can also write on the top of the disc with a permanent marker, with some caveats. There are now thoughts that even marker ink will eventually bleed through the top surface and degrade your recording. Here is a good article on the subject, including info on newer markers deemed safer:http://www.tapeonline.com/articles/using-permanent-ink-markers-on-cds-dvdsAmazon currently has some of these "safer" markers for sale.

I believe John has answered this question very well. I'm not technically smart, so he would be betteroff taking John's advice.

You can write directly on the discs. I use a black permanent marker to write titles on my discs.

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

In regards to the first question, yes you can write CDs, and DVDs To fax you need to have your computer connected to a phone line not Internet, I ever used the computer for faxing; but I am sure you need a land line, maybe a fax modem too.

I received an Install Disc and a Quick Reference Guide with my purchase. If you need more information, there is documentation and tutorials online.

Windows XP and Windows 7 will let you format a standard DVD+R disc and make it read write. After it is formatted you can read make changes to file and write back to the disc. I don't know if this is the same as buying DVD-R/W disc, but it works.

Yes to your entire question. Printing to CD's is very easy. The software includes an extensive help file.

The printable label is already part of the disc. These are meant to be printed on using a disc printer, and not where you affix a printed label. These are great discs :)

I use a permanent marker on DVD's and CD's quite frequently. No problem at all.

The modern drives write to just about all types of DVD. Note that a DVD can be already written and closed out. If the DVD is written as write once and you close it, you can not write to it again. And of course the DVD has to be a writable one purchased for that purpose.

The CD or DVD disc must be printable. I have used an Epson R260 printer for 15 years and have made many hundreds of labels that require TIF pictures, coloring and design practice. In my opinion,it is the only way to go.

Hi, it sounds like you are using DVR RW's? Do they say RW on them? That usually means you can rewrite on them. The -R discs only let you write on them once and then it is final. If you insert the disc it should not format it. If I burn songs or files onto one of these and put it in my DVD drive it will only let me listen to the songs or look at the files. It will not let me burn anything else on them. Hope that helps.

DVD+ discs do have the advantage of using multiple data layers instead of a single layer for faster recording and data access, and the discs also support users dragging and dropping files onto the disc instead of using a dedicated DVD authoring program. And I just prefer the +R to the -R

Yes! These discs can be written and re-written numerous times. If you are going to use it for an installation disc you should burn the program to it and set it aside. I wouldn't take the chance of burning an installation application to a disc that had been previously written on. So, put your burned Ubuntu disc in a separate jewel case and label it.

It all depends on what you're going to do. I've used the Power2Go program to make data discs (DVD and Blu-ray), but I mostly use Nero 2014 Platinum for everything else. I guess it's an alright program if you're not going to do anything complicated.

There is a disc that comes with it but after you save the info, you can use it anytime. I love it!

As far as I know yes. They send you a disk and NO instructions, so you have to figure it out. Once I figured it out it worked great and loved using it. I bought it for a class I was taking.

The program will be the same dl'd or delivered on disc. The registration key will work on both. Side note: There are so many many better free programs out there on the net. In fact, I thought they were giving burn express (might be different than Burning Rom) away for free on the site not to long ago.
