I have a HP DV9000 pc and wondering about lightscribe and how it works exactly. I seen youtube videos. Is Light scribe what music artists use to print pictres on it and messages/words.

Have you checked that your dvd rw drive supports lightscribe?
Essentially, after you've purchased a special type of dvd, you burn the data as normal and then flip the disk over. The application that your using may not support lightscribe but if it does, it will let you inport a picture or write some text I guess.
Note that your creations will not be as gooder quolitty as those that are printed on comertial cd's and dvd's; lightscribe pictures have a tendency to fade a little if left in a hot place.

My HP supports it, but I never tried it. That's neat that Light scribe develope that for ones who don't want to write on disc or want to add pictures to disc.

Ok let me give a definition seens how one was not given here and the original question was asking what in the hell light scribe was.
Light scribe is a feature that most newer laptops have that when you insert a CD or DVD upside down into your opticle drive, burns a laser image of some text and possibly a picture onto the label side of the disk. However, this can only be done in black. In otherwords, you can purchase light scribe capable disks in any color red, blue, white green, etc, but when you burn it, the burned image will show up black as this is the only way at this time home users can label their disks. It essentially changes the pigment in the label side, it is a chemical change of some sort and black is the result.
