What you need is LightScribe Simple Labeler. It looks like you can
get it from this outfit:
http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/
You actually need two programs--they should both come with the
download, if I
remember it correctly.* I have been using LIghtScribe for several
years. It does
seem to be out of fashion, nowadays, and I 'm not sure that the LightScribe
company still exists. (Maybe it was Lite-On?) Anyway you can still buy disks
and you can still get drives--I just bought a low-profile internal
LightScribe drive for
my laptop. But this situation is likely to deteriorate, so it would
be a good idea to
anticipate your needs, for hardware, software and media, and buy now!
(The software is free.)
I have a couple of lightscribe-capable dvd+-RW drives, and was just this
weekend looking for another one, but it seems that both Newegg and Amazon
have only a very few and most are suffering from increased pricing.
Amazon still has lots of lightscribe-dable DVD+-RW media, so I'll probably
grab a big spindle there.
In looking around last night I found some reference to a program named
something like "contrast enhancer", but didn't find the actual program.
might that be one of the tools you have?
thanks for the reply, I'll go look there for the programs.
*Maybe they don't. In my download directory I find
lightscribe-1.18.27.10-linux-2.6-intel.rpm
lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.rpm
The first file is 825987 B, the second file is 9756232 B.
If you can't find these files, send me a message directly--I think
they are small enough
to send without my server complaining.
I see you're sending from Fedora, so these rpms should work just
fine. I'm on PCLOS,
and they work fine for me.
