Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Verbatim 94934 700 MB 52x LightScribe Gold Recordable Discs CD-R, 30-Disc Spindle
Customer Review: Not Agreeable with all LightScribe DVD drives
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought a spindle of 30 discs when I bought my HP DVD LightScribe Burners. While I can use the LightScribe feature with other brands it simply won't work with Verbatim's LightScribe discs.
This applies only to the LightScribe feature, they burn fine, but I could have bought discs a lot cheaper if I had not wanted to use my drive's LightScribe feature. I should also note that I am not the only one having this problem since there are serveral sites on the web where people are complaining of problems with hp LightScribe drives and this brand.
Customer Review: I'm changing my rating to 5 stars

At first, I was unsuccessful in my attempts to burn CDs. I burned one beautifully and and was also able to get a label on the flip side. I wasted 5 disks when I couldn't get more to burn. I thought maybe it was Vista causing the problem so I tried on a second computer. It did recognize that the disk was in the drive but it just gave me error messages and wouldn't burn. Then I tried burning it using Nero instead of the pre-installed Microsoft software. I was able to burn one after another. They were great once I used the right program.Customer Review: Better than HP's discs
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd been having trouble with the LightScribe process. I triple checked that I had all the latest drivers. I futzed with the software. Finally, I decided to try a different batch of discs. Voila! I've gone from having about a 60% failure rate with the HP discs I was using to about a 20% failure rate. Still not perfect, but a significant improvement. In fairness, my HP discs were at least a year old. If there were manufacturing improvements since then, they may apply across the board. All I know is I'm once again a happy LightScribe user.Customer Review: Wow, these are a waste!

I bought two of the 30 packs of Verbatim Lightscribe CDRs from Best Buy. I would be very optimistic in saying that 1 out of 3 actually worked. Oh, the music burns on to them no problem, but when I flip them over to do the lightscribe label, it tells me the media is not recognized as lightscribe. This happens no matter what program I use! And what sucks even worse is that with the coating on the cd, it's almost impossible to write on, so you end up with an un-labeled cd anyways.
Oh well, back to the HP discs :)
Customer Review: Not for Labelflash drives
Summary: 4 Stars
There is nothing in particular that I can find wrong with this media. In fact, standalone, the media if great. My problem is being misled by my Amazon.com search. I input a search for labelflash and this media came up; leading me to believe that it worked with a labelflash drive. No. It ONLY works on lightscribe drives. I am only writing this review so that 1) Amazon can change their tagging so others won't be misled and 2) If Amazon does not change their tagging, others will not fall into the same trap that I did.
