Lightscribe

...the Aptivo ones required three passes.

Just in case you weren't aware of this, Lightscribe Control Panel has adjustments for how dark the labels print. The darker you want to print them, the longer it takes. I set mine to "best" and to print a full disk label (rather than a thin text label) it takes about 30 minutes.

Yes, I've got it set to "best." You would have to be blind not to see it that option.

Ahhh, I will check that out. I'm not sure what the default is but I haven't changed anything.

One thing that seems kind of funny;
After installing the Lightscribe software I was unable to capture in Premiere Elements, Premiere Pro, or even WinDV, from my Pyro Link.
I would get the capture screen, and could see the video in the monitor, but when I would press Record nothing happened. If I pressed stop it would just say 'No Frames Captured'.

After closing the Lightscribe Control Panel (which is a background process located in the task bar) everything seems to be working again.

heh, heh! I didn't mean to offend you! I never tried printing one 3 times at the "best" setting - it must be really dark!

Yes, I was extremely offended. I even got a rash.

After three passes on best on the Ativa disc (just found it in my drawer), there still isn't as much contrast as one pass on the Verbatim.
