I hope you all enjoy!Ī couple of extra things I wanted to mention outside of the tutorial: I feel better knowing that I have donated at least something to this great community. This is the first guide I have ever written so feel free to point out any misleading info or general confusing statements that I may have made. I did an identical disc at Best and it looked much better, and only took 10 mins longer ~35 mins. My first burn was at medium quality and the picture looked a little washed out, light, and blurry. There will be quality settings at the top of the prompt you are looking at. When you are sure everything is going to line up go to 'File' -> 'Print Lightscribe Label.' When you are happy with the look of your project go to 'File' -> 'Lightscribe Print Preview' so you can make sure you don't have anything hanging over the edges. This is actually the preferred way to open a new disc design if you want to use alot of graphics and images to your disc. If you don't see that right away, you can also go to 'Extras' -> 'Make Label Or Cover' which will then allow you to choose to make a LS disc. You may need a reboot, but one of the options should be 'Print Lightscribe Label.' Click on that and you will be looking at a very simplified label maker. Easy cheezy! Just open the Nero SmartStart menu and move your cursor over to 'Extras' (the button to the far top-right). How do I actually make that label though? Unzip that and run it and it should do all the hard work for you! Congratulations!! You now have the capability to make LS discs in Nero!! This program is called the 'Lightscribe Host Software' and you can get it here: Now you are almost all set to go! You could actually start burning CDs and DVDs at this point in time!! However, you shelled out the extra money for that cool Lightscribe feature so lets set it up! All you need now is a program that is going to tell Windows and Nero that isn't just any ol' CD/DVD burner chillin' in your computer. NOTE: Now technically you can get away with using NO LESS THAN Nero v6.6.0.8 but the v6.6.0.16 fixed a few bugs that may cause you to burn s worth the time invested. If you are using Nero v6 but not up to Nero 6.6.0.16, go to this link to get your free product update: To check your Nero version open your program, get into one of the actual drag and drop burning menus, and go to 'Help' -> 'About Nero Burning ROM.' It is important that you have Nero v6 as this is the latest version and the only one with LS labeling support. Next, obviously, you are going to have to make sure you have Nero installed on your drive. If you run into any snags here is a link to a good tutorial: This is really easier than anyone might think and there are a ton of tutorials out there on how to do so (including a Flash animated video on a disc that comes with your drive.) When you get to the jumper pins, you can most often leave them on the shipped default: cable select. First you have to physically put the drive in your computer. This is a walkthru from the very beginning of the process for the dvd640i internal drive (and probably any other future LS internal models): This was also written because I was going to take the easy way out and just use HP's labeling software but they force you to install at LEAST one of their bundled BS programs to get to the real nitty gritty and that really set me off. (Maybe there isn't a thread because it was SO easy.but hey, this is for the newbs Hey all, I haven't seen a thread for this yet and I just installed my Lightscribe (LS) drive today and.0mfg0dz0rz~!!!!!one11 I literally had NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.
