Does anyone know anything about this? I saw it on tha back cover of the new MacWorld mag. Went to Lacie's site http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10548
and they say it will ship in Feb. I'm considering buying one because it looks like the coolest way to label the dvd's I'm making for customers. I've got a hobby business doing video tape to dvd conversion and this would certianly be an option for customers who want a professional product. I don't know about Mac compatibility or what kind of media it requires. I wasn't successful searching for lightscribe enabled media. Any info you might have and be willing to share is greatly appreciated.
thanks...

I emailed Lacie, and they said:

Thanks for your e-mail. Great questions! LaCie includes a software package that includes Toast for recording data to the media and special LightScribe application that burns the images to the media. The LightScribe drives will support most any DVD/CD media, but requires specific LightScribe media for direct disc labeling. The LightScribe media will be widely available by March.

I checked this out too. It looked promising at first, but the media is pretty expensive (about $1/CD) and you can only "print" grayscale. The image also fades when exposed to light over time.

I'm thinking about getting this drive too. While the LightScribe media will cost more than regular media, it would be a nice feature for customers that I archive for. I'll only use the LS media for this reason, and use regular media for day to day stuff.
