Light-scribing for DVD?

[BGAYLOR07]

I am planning on purchasing a 2.0Ghz Intel Core2Duo MacBook, with a 6x superdrive, and also Roxio Toast 8 Titanum. Is this MacBook able to burn or etch labels onto the actual DVD's using light-scribing technology? The info on Roxio says that it uses the technology if the system is compatible. Thanks for your input!

No sorry. But you say that Roxio Toast can do light scribe with ANY lightscribe drive? 'coz my powermac G4 has a lightscribe but I cant get the labeling to work...

In the item description it says that it can print or laser-etch your discs with personalized labels and case covers and inserts. I have never used it before so I am not sure how it does this.

The actual drive has a laser etcher on the top that only works with special disks. Macs dont have this technology built-in. And no laptop has lightscribe at all ever.

And no laptop has lightscribe at all ever.

Actually, several HP notebook models have lightscribe drives available as an option. Other than that, though, you're absolutely correct.
