Burning labels onto DVDs and CDs using light scribe discs

I just recently purchased a HP DV 7 quad core 750 GB hard drive with 8 GB of RAM and a blue Ray player. I was wondering if I would be able to use light scribe discs to burn labels onto CDs and DVDs using my blue Ray player since it is also a super multi drive. Or am I mistaken because I came to understand that HP was making that pretty much standard on their laptops and other computers since they are primarily the makers of the light scribe disc. Please help me this is my first HP computer. Thank you!!

Hi,
Dv7 is a series of dozens models of laptops. What is yours but since light scrib id not very popular now therefore your machine may or may not have it. Again, you need to check the specs of your machine and the quick way to check is its model. Here is how:

  • Experiencing weird burning behaviour on DVDs and CDs

    Hello guys,
    It's been a while since I last post.
    Well i am experiencing different problems with my SuperDrive. These days I was trying to back up staff to DVD+R's (movies & mp3's). The disk mounts and is visible in Finder. I create the archive of the staff i want to burn and the disk burns fine. But when it comes to validation it fails and gives me a message that the disk is unreliable. Indeed the disk I burn is not readable. Any thoughts? Maybe the disk brand? I tired several DVD's and burning speeds. No result.
    Also I cannot erase on my iMac G5, CD+RW disks i have burned on my Mac Mini. Any thougts on that?
    The only thing my SuperDrive does well is burning CD-R/+R's or DVD-RW/+RW's. No problems there.
    Could it be the brands I use or is it a flow on Mac OS? Would I resolve all these problems with a third party software?( Toast for example...)

    I think you will find that DVD-R is the most widely recognizable Media used across the board.
    There have been several reports of problems , even with the newer drives with +R and RW formats.
    Even though the burners are suppose to use them.
    Often a simple visit to the Dive Manufactures site or a Google search of your Model Drive and Burner will offer a Firmware update that many times will solve these issues.
    Cheers Don

  • Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    Been trying to burn a movie onto DVD and get this "The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" Anybody know what it means and what to do? Help! Thanks

    It generally means that the media is faulty or of poor quality. Most of us here use Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden media.
    OR
    Your Superdrive may need a clean.
    If you have further questions please state what Mac, with what versions of OS X, iMovie and iDVD you are using.

  • Does anyone know how to burn a CD+G (karaoke CD) onto a Mac so that I can then burn it onto a CD to use in my karaoke machine that will include lyrics and songs?

    You already have a CD+G disc.
    You cannot make another as it is a violation of copyright.

  • Matshita DVD-R UJ-875:  I cannot get it to accept blank DVD and CDs.

    I have the super-drive Matshita DVD-R UJ-875. I have tried 5 different brands of DVDs they all get spit out. (My Macbook accepts them.) My iMac has some trouble reading a few DVD movie discs, but I eventually get it to go. CDs seem to have no trouble. Just blank DVDs and CDs get spit out. I get one success every about 50 discs to stay in and can burn. I have had the problem when running in Leopard, but not so much so, now I have the problem much more profound after updating to Snow Leopard in September. I switched from PC to Mac because my wife really enjoys video and photo editing on it. She feels very let down that she cannot burn any of her work. I really want to get this fixed. Anyone have any advice? I do have the 3 year warranty, but want to avoid taking it in if possible.

    Having the same problem with my MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875 drive on my Intel 24" imac. It still reads commercial CD and DVD discs, but for some reason spits out 75% of the CD-R discs I put in and now refuses to burn anything onto any blank CD I put into Itunes (on the few it WILL read to begin with). I suppose I will take it to the local authorized Apple repair shop and wait a few days to get it back. This will be the third time I have had it in since purchasing it in 2008. Once to have the defective hard drive replaced, again to have a defective hard drive fan replaced and now this. On one hand I am very glad I bought that $129 AppleCare, but on the other, I am tired of dragging this huge thing around and being without it for so long.

  • IBook thinks all DVDs and CDs are blank!

    My iBook G4 (early '04) thinks that all the DVDs and CDs I put in it are blank. I popped in the Superman Returns DVD I just bought from Best Buy in the slot and it asked me what I wanted to do with the blank DVD (its a combo drive I upgraded myself in Jan '05). I tried to run the Apple Hardware Test CD that can with the computer, but it couldn't read it and gave me the "blank disc" message again. What's wrong with it? What do I do?
    I was planning on upgrading to the new MacBooks in January, so i need to find out if i can fix this or just get a new one earlier than planned.
    Thanks for helping...

    mataydood, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You could try purchasing and using a CD/DVD cleaner (a disc with small brushes on the bottom). This will remove the dust from the laser lens and hopefully allow it to recognize discs once again.

  • Do iMacs play DVDs and CDs?

    Do iMacs play DVDs and CDs?  I don't see any info about this on the specs page.  Is this an add on?

    Yes, they do. For models which don't include an internal optical drive, this requires an external one such as Apple's USB SuperDrive, or for some uses, one in another computer.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    You will need an external DVD drive such as this:

  • My iMac (Intel) has stopped writing DVDs and CDs - what do I do?

    My iMac (Intel) has stopped writing DVDs and CDs - what do I do first?

    You can try one of the CD/DVD cleaning discs but I doubt it will work. Your superdrive has probably failed.
    you can have Apple replace it, for around $120, or buy any brand external DVD drive that connects by USB port and it will work with your Mac. Most cost around $30.

  • I have a legit copy of 4.3 on an old unit. Can it be burned on a dvd and installed on new PC with windows 8.1?

    I have a legit copy of 4.3 on an old unit. Can it be burned on a dvd and installed on new PC with windows 8.1?

    Yes, one you have your LR 4 user license. (if it was an upgrade from an earlier version then you will also need the earlier version license key.)
    You can get the latest update for LR 4 from the link below, and install that instead of the 4.3 version.

    Do you mean the System Preferenes application?
    If so, you should be able to restore it from your backups.
    If you don't have backups:
    If your Mac came with Snow Leopard, call AppleCare.  They'll send a replacement set of discs for a nominal fee.
    If it didn't, you can still get the Retail Snow Leopard discs for $30.
    Then get a good external HD (or Time Capsule) and start making regular backups.  Hard drives fail;  other things go wrong;  and laptops get lost or stolen.  Without good backups, you risk losing all your data.

  • I'm looking for software for my iMac to use to copy old VHS movies onto DVD and old records (digital turn table) in CDs.  Recommendations please?

    I'm looking for software for my iMAC to use to copy old VHS movies from a VCR into DVDs and records from my digital turn table into CDs.  Any recommendations?

    For the VHS movies, try googling Elgato - they make a number of USB devices that are supposed to be able to do this, but check what formatting options they offer : you will want a device that converts directly into .MOV files (to play in QuickTime), or into H.264 for iTunes / iPods, etc.
    As for the vinyl records - first you need a device that will convert the analogue output (phono) into a digital form and will connect via FireWire or USB. The Griffin iMic is one such USB device (if still available?). From there you can use the free Audacity download to read in the signal and convert to a suitable format, e.g. MP3. (You will need to use SysPrefs / Sound to switch to an external audio device, instead of your Mac's built-in mic.)
    (Wait - you said "digital turntable" - software already on your Mac? How do you use a virtual turntable to play vinyl?? Unless what you really mean is an analogue turntable that has a CD writer in it, or a USB connection to connect the turntable's DAC output to a computer?? In which case, either use your turntable to burn  CDs, or connect via USB and the free Audacity software to convert the signal to music tracks and output as MP3.

  • Satellite A60-302: CD drive read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

    I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd drive. It can read dvds and discs that I buy but it wont read all burned discs (even ones that I burned with the laptops own burner). Only from time to time it will read a burned disc.
    I have tried cleaning the cd drives laser eye but it didnt help.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    Hi
    This sounds like the CD burner doesnt burn CD properly.
    You have suggested that you have used different kinds of CDs.
    In the user manual you will find a list of compatible medias.
    These medias was tested and should works properly.
    But if this happens with all CDs so possibly the drive cannot works properly and only a replacement could solve this issue.
