Yeah, I am a huge fan of Lightscribe, but that technology is dead dead dead. The way to handle labeling from now on is to buy inkjet-printable discs and a compatible printer. Sorry, durable tech lost out to flashy fading colors.

More details: You can only get single-layer Lightscribe DVD media anymore.  Dual-layer Lightscribe DVD media was available for a while, and I suppose if you're lucky you can find it used, but it's rare at best. Lightscribe BD-R never happened, and never will.

There was a Lightscribe edition of SureThing, which, combined with the basic Lightscribe interface software, is what I used to make discs for a long time. But inkjet-printable is the future, like it or not.

Do not under any circumstances use those peel-and-stick DVD labels. The glue can lose its stickiness when the disc gets warm, and that can lead to bad things.
