HP DVD1040e Lightscribe SuperMulti Retail DVD Burner

[essentialeugene]

I have the HP drive that can do CD, DVD and play and write Blu Ray. I got it at Fry's Electronics. When the DVD is formatting, the CPU, RAM, hard drive, and video card are working simultaneously to transfer the information to the DVD. If you have dual core it will take longer because it has two cores. Quad cores can process the DVD faster because of the four cores.

winx dvd author is faster than it and it's free

[Hayatehiroyuki25]

My Pc came with this and i never noticed it till now and im really wanting to try this out now how much are lightscribe cds normally

[MrTodd198126]

Nero is shit, so so slow and far too many add ons etc that you never use. It even takes an age to install or unintsall. Theres no way i would buy it, infact i wouldnt even use it if you gave me a pirate copy... its just crap.

[yourmouse1]

do i need light scribe discs and also on my laptop it says recommended for windows vista then under that sticker it says light scribe

[TheAntiduranguense]

las letras o dibujos que haces en estos cd,se borran rapidamente con la lus solar o el medio ambiente. no es una buena opcion

[jbeebrylle]

but you need lightscribe Cd's to burn a label? right?

[ahyhijooooo]

correct but aint expensiv

[matsumotoandre]

Yes, you need specific lightscribe media.

[AlphabiscutLTD]

Wouldn't that destroy the Laser?

[ahyhijooooo]

nop

[JALCON23]

Already contacted the HP support.They told me they cant replace it coz mine is expired.Well first of all i never ask them to replace it.I was asking if they can help me figure out what was wrong with the damn thing.

Dont matter now anyways i smash that shit into little pieces.

Gonna try xFIAKOx suggestion probably alot better than HP.

[xFlAK0x]

the lg dvd burner is better than that garbage

[death8796]

jalcon you can just set your computer to not eject disk when done.

[JALCON23]

I have done that but the problem i'm facing is when it start to "BURN" the movie into the blank DVD it ejects out itself before it even start burning.

(it wont let it burn at all just keep spitting it out.)

[JALCON23]

I have HP dvd 940e lightscribe multi recorder looks exactly like that.

I have been having problems with it.everytime i try to burn videos.when it start to write on the dvd,the burner ejects the dvd out before the burning process.what you think is the problem?

Can you help?

[l1m0b0at]

do you have the lightscribe dvds

[JALCON23]

ofcourse thats the only blank dvd i was using

[duardie2]

hello, do I need to use my hp computer itself,there is lightscibe logo, instead of using that dvd burner is shown in tutorial,what I mean is that my hp computer itself could burn label(lightscribe)?

[maxamilion91]

If there is the lightscribe logo on your DVD Drive then it should be able to burn labels onto Lightscribe Disks.

[mer54gull]

can you put whatever image you what on it or do you have to choose from a list, like can i put what is on the actual cd on the disk?

[tealmarlin]

I have an LP DVD Burner with lightscribe,and its just Awesome! Pc Hardware/Software has come so far in the last 10 years. The internet has Leveled off though.

[ALMSfuture]

so if you have an hp 1000 mini, can you use this to upload/import cd's into the hp 1000 mini? such as uploading a disk with software in it, etc...?

[starsilver]

aburrido, enseñen resultados , no mamadas

[dimmufan192]

i love lightscribe, my computer disk drive comes with it.

[geent1]

oooh my good ... ic an't belive this good job for HP and good for u that upload this vid??!?!! :)

[demyrik]

thats to big :(

[KiloriloFFXI]

Why am I the only one who doesnt like how LS looks >.> I'd rather bust out some sharpies and draw a picture on the disc :S

[ethen24]

You're not alone, I don't like them either. They cost too much for the cd's, and to me, that Lightscribe writing looks ugly...I have Lightscribe in my laptop already, but I never used it...

[dimmufan192]

i like it because i can put pics on it. I made an itunes backup disk and etched it with album artwork from my fav bands.

[weeman5872]

I have the HP DVD1040i Lightscribe drive, i haven't tried lightscribe yet, but its an awesome drive, and it makes a cool noise when the PC starts up!

[thecmcolombian]

wow i bought one but is internal it has everything that the tank has

it even brought nero 8

[mololol]

Is this a review or an advertisement?

[YoungGun821]

Good question, sometimes i wounder if he is more of a sales man for TigerDirect then an honest reviewer. He is a reviewer though and does give his input on emails he gets from time to time.

[guitars4]

Since it's coming from TigerDirect, my guess is that it's a review.

[yalolol]

Wow. That's not a tank. It's a waste of space.

I wish external enclosures were "skin-tight" for internal drives.

Sometimes, they just take too much space.

[rcman22]

Tanks ARE a waste of space...

[yalolol]

BUT, they have pretty good use.

An external CD/DVD drive? The only thing plausible is an external HDD.

[ivanyoulube]

OMG I HAVE THAT LOL

its cool

[igob8a]

I'm looking for an external drive as well, but I'm probably going for a Samsung since they can burn 24x on a 16x disc!

And Samsung products look so sleek.

HPs are great though.

[Gimli1401]

im so buting a new external drive :)

[binty47]

3rd! im so honored =)

[felixhi]

Nice. I've been looking for a good external burner.

[Squirelll]

That's cool as!
