Where can you find drivers for the light scribe system that will run on 64 bit Window 8.1. While I am under the impression that they no longer make the Lightscribe drive, (Please correct me if I am wrong), I could pull the LS drive from my Windows XP desktop and place it in a new 64 bit Windows 8.1 desktop that I would buy to replace the old system. But if I can not get the 64-bit drivers that work on the 64 bit computer, it does not matter if the software works or not. |

Could be a driver. https://web.archive.org/web/20131023....18.27.10_.exe File name LS_Update_1.18.27.10_.exe File size 11.7 MB Revision 1.18.27.10 Release Date March 14, 2013 Notes Windows 8 OS classic (non-Metro UI) --- probably means "X86 not ARM" Requirements LightScribe enabled drive, media, and labeling software also needed. I presume the website was closed, so they could fire some employees at HP. Paul Ahhh, thanks Paul. I'm running win7 64-bit & my lightscribe drivers do work; the version is: 1.18.23.1 (could've been updated via LG). Also LG has a firmware update for their writers to get win8 to work; had installed the new firmware when I redid the computer from win8 back to win7. Could be that drives needed new firmware because msft changed something in win8. Just downloaded the 1.18.27 ver to see if that works; most likely will need to find the drivers & save for backup unless the 1.18.23 was on the dvd that came with the drive. |

Can you use reliably use stick-on labels on DVD/CD without damaging the CD/DVD I say no to the last question, but the opinion is not unanimous. I haven't tried to run LightScribe in W8, but even in W7 I've switched to printable CDs/DVDs/BDs. They have a white matte finish on the label side that accepts ink-jet ink, and there are printers that have the ability to print to them. Here's a picture of some disks at Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/n3gp5z2 I picked this one because it gives a reasonable idea of what the disks and the labels look like. Here are two printers that I have used successfully: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2411725,00.asp http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2394432,00.asp -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Can you use reliably use stick-on labels on DVD/CD without damaging the CD/DVD Printable DVDs/CDs are nice, and a lot less hassle than using printed labels, although it does require a capable printer. You can use regular printers and stick the label to the disc too, but that's a *huge* pain. Personally, I don't use optical media at all, I distribute content online or via flash drives. It doesn't scale to everyone, of course. -- There truly is more than one way to skin a cat, but the limited market for cat skins makes learning more than three methods impractical. |

To a casual observer, they looked pretty professional. I haven't burned a CD or DVD in quite a few years, though. I consider the technology to be obsolete. My wife paints in acrylics on canvas. Until a few years ago art shows, and galleries would only accept slide submission. At the end, you had to run around town looking for slide film, take the pictures, and then find someone to develop the slides. Finally they decided slides were obsolete, and started taking electronic submission. Now, most want CD/DVD with the images of the paintings. Very few will consider an electronic transfer of the images by email, and currently there are no other options. I doubt they are the only groups and companies that are struggling to convert to electronic media. In highly regulated industries like the pharmaceutical and medical industry, I suspect slides are still used, as the validation of the system of storage. is much easier than a large data collection system. |

How do people label CD/DVD's? I have been using Accoustica CD/DVD Label Maker for many years and it suits my requirements adequately. My printer (a middle aged Canon MP610) serves me well for printing CD labels. Although Canon provides a label printing program, it falls short of what I wanted. For example, in the samples below, I wanted to follow the two colour scheme used by EaseUS in its name. I could not do that in the Canon program. With the Accoustica program, I only needed to type "EaseUS" and then I could high light any of the letters and change their colour. Also, printing curved titles has suited my wish at times. I have posted 3 samples at Tinypic which also show that there are two different hole sizes on a printable CD. The larger hole often describes the CD as "printable" and the smaller hole is sometimes labelled "full printable". http://tinypic.com/r/25tdpvk/8 http://tinypic.com/r/14ca8hz/8 http://tinypic.com/r/2rcbreo/8 My wife requires professionally looking CD/DVD.

Can you use reliably use stick-on labels on DVD/CD without damaging the CD/DVD My recommendation would be NO! NO! NO! Many years ago, I did use stick-on labels and within a short number of years I discovered that I could not read some of my CDs. This was attributed by others to be directly caused by the glue on the labels. I also read of cries for help of "I can't get my CD out of the drive because the label seems to be coming off the CD".
