Product Description

Burn music, digital photo albums, presentations and home movies directly on your CD or DVD. Flip... . Inscribe/Burn your customized label. All with one laser... in one drive! Laser precision and detail means no more marker scrawl or adhesive labels to center, only to have them peel off the disc. The disc's image-ready coating is an integral part of its manufacture, providing long-lasting, scratch-resistant labels. Labels can be burned wherever and whenever a disc is burned, no need for a printer. You are free to combine text and graphics in simple or complex labels that reflect one's personality and attitude.

Works for me........2007-05-31

I understand some people may have problems with these, but, for once, I'm not one of them. If you use these as directed, recording the music first, then printing the label, you should have no problems. Obviously, they look much better than CDs with stick-on labels, and you avoid the problems of labels coming off with repeated play. I would advise people to try them.

Wow, these are a waste!.......2007-03-13

I bought two of the 30 packs of Verbatim Lightscribe CDRs from Best Buy. I would be very optimistic in saying that 1 out of 3 actually worked. Oh, the music burns on to them no problem, but when I flip them over to do the lightscribe label, it tells me the media is not recognized as lightscribe. This happens no matter what program I use! And what sucks even worse is that with the coating on the cd, it's almost impossible to write on, so you end up with an un-labeled cd anyways.

Oh well, back to the HP discs :)

This item works fairly well-seems like the print doesn't show up as good as it should but it could be I haven't perfected how to use the lightscribe program well enough yet. The music downloaded on them sounds great.

Worst Media Ever -- Made by CMC Magnetics!.......2007-01-13

These Verbatim discs are hands down the very WORST blank media I've EVER encountered! They're made by CMC Magnetics -- well known as the worst media manufacturer in the world. But not only are they CMC Magnetics, they're the worst of the worst of CMC Magnetics!

The latest KProbe *hangs* when faced with these, forcing a hard reset. The latest Nero Burning ROM *hangs* when faced with these, forcing a hard reset. The program continues, non-stop, to display "waiting for media" when I use these, and an attempt to abort hangs Windows XP SP2 the same way it hangs Kprobe.

Curiously, the media IDs on these are exactly the same as that on Philips LightScribe CD-R media (they're made by CMC Magnetics as well). However, at least the Philips are recognized by all my software and hardware, quite unlike the Verbatims. That's why I say that these Verbatim are the worst of the worst from CMC Magnetics. (The Philips are no prize, either, but they perform minimally well).

The *ONLY* thing that worked with these media are the LightScribe labeling. But what's the point of labeling discs you can't even RECOGNIZE, let alone burn?

I had the exact same problems with these media in both my Lite-On LH-201AH burner and my NEC ND-2510A burner (the latter is universally recognized as and ideal burner for even low-quality media).

Note that Verbatim had a great reputation when they sold media manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. But, stupidly, they chose to go ultra-cheap and turned to the dreaded CMC Magnetics Corp. Thus, they lost all credibility!

*AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE!*

Lightscribe - The Breakfast Of Champions.......2006-08-31

These were exactly as advertised and delivery was quick. They're better than kids. They did exactly as I asked. By the way, they're best served without the milk and sugar, but it's a good buy from a good distributor at a good price. Thumbs up.
