Burning LightScribe Labels
The LG GSA-H55LI as a LightScribe drive enables images to be burned onto LightScribe Discs, both CD and DVD. Make a label whenever and wherever you want with your PC and burner. It is Simple, Compatible and Flexible.
You may use the included Nero 7 essentials software to create and burn your LightScribe labels to your LightScribe media. Make sure you have the latest LS system software which is required to enable LightScribe functionality. You may download this free software from www.lightscribe.com in the download section.
We burned our LS label using LS system software version 1.6.45.1 which now includes the LightScribe Control Panel application to easily configure and monitor the installed LightScribe functions. The “Extended Label Contrast Utility” is now included in the Control Panel of this latest software.
Below is an HP LightScribe CD-R 52X disc with our Review Team label burned to it:










The firmware updates claim to reduce noise during DVD playback, as well as improve write quality on some discs. I'm betting the reduced speed for playing DVDs also applies to ripping DVDs and the original firmware might have been better for DVD ripping.
The drive doesn't cache audio CDs and is an excellent CD ripper for Exact Audio Copy. The read offset is +102. The write offset is +30.
The drive is ATA 66 (UDMA mode 4).


. I bought mine at Newegg and the reason it doesn't support scanning is because it has a Panasonic chipset. If you need a drive for scanning then buy a burner with a MediaTek chipset. You can remove riplock by using MCSE and turn it into a really fast ripper but if you are like me you won't want to void your warranty unless your drive is more than a year old. This drive is they best quality burner that I have ever used! This drive is perfect when matched with a fast ripper like I have. I use the Lite-On to rip and the LG to burn and I haven't had a coaster in the year that I have owned them with at least 800, 4.38 GB disks burned from various brands and MID's. Even came across some fake TYG02 (Sonic brand from shop4tech) and it still came out great.





wont read the disks anymore.
keeps prompting me to put a disk in. oh well next time i will pay the extra money and get a external.
