hello. i have a asus laptop, adn was considering buying a new dvd burner if its even possible to replace the one i have. i was going to look into a double layer burner. i also noticed while looking on best buy they now have a burner called lightscribe i think has been out for a few years now.

if anyone is familiar with lightscribe. is it really as good as it sounds or a waiste of money? can i really put the art of a dvd onto a blank dvd? makes it sound liek if you got a movie ill use the movie speed. when i burn the movie to dvd it will also burn the exact image of the one you buy in stores if i have the image of it.

also is it possible to replace my dvd burner if so is light scribe worth it? i figured for $30-$40 to upgrade to dual layer its worth it if it will workbut if light scribe is affordable why not go with that one.

asus laptop:
g75vw is the model
 
dude, forget about the lightscribe!!
if you want to purchase a slim dvd drive, I recommend to purchase a DVD-RW optical drive!!

LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology that uses specially coated recordable CD and DVD media to produce laser-etched labels with text or graphics, as opposed to stick-on labels and printable discs.

The purpose of LightScribe is to allow users to create direct-to-disc labels (as opposed to stick-on labels), using their optical disc writer. Special discs and a compatible disc writer are required. Before or after burning data to the read-side of the disc, the user turns the disc over and inserts it with the label side down. The drive's laser then etches into the label side in such a way that an image is produced.
 
The Lightscribe feature works really well but it only puts a black-and-white image on the disk. Also, you have to buy special Lightscribe disks and they're more expensive than regular disks.
