I have two Lightscribe DVD drives in my desktop computer (Intrepid,
x86_64) that I built a couple years ago. Anxious to try them out, I
installed the LaCie software. Two points:
1) The image is black and white only
2) It takes about five minutes to finish
3) The image quality sucks, although you can get better results by
burning twice.
I used Lighscribe to put a graphic on a few distro CDs for friends, and
then never used Lightscribe again.
I still want to be able to put an image on a CD or DVD, but I guess the
only way to do that properly is with an inkjet. But if I do it only
once every few months I'll have clogged jets, wasted ink from cleaning,
and constant headaches. So I just continue to use a sharpie.
