Do you have LightScribe knowledge, please?

hi rob

when the drive,wether its lightscribe or dual layer the speed at which the drive will burn is denoted by the type of disk

so if the drive is a 20x dvdrw and you use a 8x dvdrw disk then the drive will burn at only 8 x speed

in regrads to the actual scribe the quality of the lightscribe will not be affected however the time at which it takes will be longer,for example my wife has a lightscribe drive which i fitted to her acer aspire t671 and we used 16 x speed lightscribe media,and this took just over 17 minutes to etch a basic design of a lion,so i would imagine your drive would yeild the same burning times

however you can get 52x cdrw lightscribe disks from http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=-168&... 8x speed Verbatim Lightscribe DVD+R from http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48712

there is also a similar etching technology called "labelflash" which uses similar disks,however these are less popular to lightscribe

any problems let me know

good luck rob

If you are burning the lightscribe image, it only burns at one speed. The burner can not burn the image on a lightscribe disc as fast as it does the data.

The disc will limit the speed to 16x despite the fact that the drive is *capable* of 20x

16x means the max the media will burn.

I would think 16x but I'm not certain about that.
