NEC AD-7173A

A fast DVD writer that lets you etch labels onto discs

In early 2005 HP and Lite-on launched Lightscribe, a technology that etches images onto the top side of DVDs. Fujifilm and Yamaha responded in mid-2005 with their similar Labelflash technology, but cunningly charged fewer royalties for it.

Both technologies let you put any image or text onto the top of the disc. This makes using a permanent marker or sticking a label onto discs a thing of the past. After burning a DVD, you flip it over and pop the disc back in the drive and then burn an image to it.

Initially, we couldn't get this Labelflash drive to burn images, for the bizarre reason that we were using a US version of Nero 7. Nero versions 6.6.1.3 and 7.0.8.2 (European) and above are compatible, however.

When we were provided with working software, making attractive discs was a doddle. You select Nero Design Cover, create the image you want to use (as in any other paint program) and then hit Burn.
