Does lightscribe work on non-lightscribe media?

Burning the labels only works on lightscribe media as it has to have the special coating on the label side. You can burn regulard DVD blanks but you can't put the label on them.

The last Yamaha CD burner could make the label right on the data side but it wasted quite a bit ot data space.

No the whole process is based on using the laser to cause a chemical reaction to happen with the special surface on the lightscribe DVD's. Any other DVD won't have this coating and the software won't let you even try to do it.

yea, i had one of those yamaha's years back... the f1...

Im debating getting a new internal slim slot load dvd-rw for my mini, but they are slightly unreliable and slow due to the fragile nature of them.... or possibly going full external...
 
I have two Lightscribe burners. They burn all media on the data side. They will only burn labels on the coated Lightscribe side.
 
Yep! It's almost on the radar.

Color

But! That is essentially using disks with different background colors - not color laser burning.
