Does anyone know if this will work on a linux box ? ( LightScribe)

With little left to differentiate DVD records, manufacturers are looking for new ways of staying ahead of their competitors. One such novelty is LightScribe, which lets a recorder actually label the CD or DVD directly. You can produce professional-style labels using the same laser that burns data, right inside your own CD/DVD drive! Is it worth it? Read on to find out.

Downloaded DVD's/CD's. The SuSE live DVD would be one, I'm sure there are others. Just because pirating music and video's is finally coming to an end doesn't mean there are not legal reasons. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Yes, but will this thing actually write a DVD label on the actual DVD, rather than messing around w/ paper labels ... I am looking at getting a new DVD dual level read/writer if LightScribe works now or will work in the near future, And I could make decent copies of my movies w/ a nice label that won't peal off or have the ink run ( high humidity here ;-) ) etc. Then that is the one I get ... -- j

Yes it will but you will need to buy the special lightscribe disks, you can't use regular disks.

I would be interested also if the software works now or in the near future. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

If using this in Linux, what software is used to burn the labels? Thank you.

I make data CDs and DVDs all the time as well as DVDs of old VHS footage, etc., and I would love to be able to make nice labels for them right on the disc instead of paper labels or handwritten marker.

The Epson R-200 printer is cheap -$79 bucks at Sams-does a fine job printing on the cd/dvds. Ink from Epson aint cheap, but there are some 3 party brands that do good and cost a lot less. richard

That is the only printer that popped up on Pricegrabber. If that thing does cd/dvds directly on the media, I'll buy two. One for moi, and one for my users to squabble over ;-)

Yep, that's the one! It does print directly on the media using a carrier just for that function. So far everything works fine on Linux EXCEPT the print on the cd feature. I've tried using Crossover Office 4.1 but not a whole lot of luck although I didnt try all that hard. For me the occasional switch to the Other OS for printing on the cd is not that big a deal. I suspect it would work on linux if someone were dedicated enough to figure out how. Like most things it will probably take someone with some time on their hands to get it working properly. One word of caution, INK. Epson only uses 2/3ds the ink in the cartridge then it tells you you're out of ink! I'm surprised some enterprising lawyer hasnt started some class action suit on that. BTW, this weekend Fry's has it on sale for 69bucks. ra ra
