Hello all. If you have a computer problem, post it here. I will answer all problems. I also will subscribe to the thread so I can be notified of new problems. If you post something off topic, I will contact a moderator and have your post removed! Have a great day!

I have a HP Pavilion dv8000 laptop with a gig of memory and with a LightScribe CD drive. How can I go about finding out if the drive in question is CD-g write capable?

I do have a FREEWARE version of a .KAR program/editor called KaraFun and I can play my CD-g disc's just fine on the disc drive if that means anything. I also have NERO 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced but have yet to install it on my laptop. I believe this will be helpful in my burning CD-g disc's. Would that be a correct assumption on my part.

I also will be rebuilding/upgrading my desktop in a few days. Do you have any recommendations for a disc drive for it? I bought one from Fry's but none of the drives they sell off the shelf said they could actually write the CD-g file format but several of them said they could read/play them. Any help appreciated.

You must have a CD-G burner otherwise it will not work. Hold off on rebuilding your computer, though. I will like online for a CD-G burner that also has LightScribe.

Thanks, will do. Are you referring to the desk top?

Yeah

Don't mean to butt in here, but you can take a look here.
This seems like it will do everything you might need. I Just did a simple search for this, so I can't speak on the program it self, just trying to help.

Thanks, I saw that last week as well when I was doing a Google for Karaoke rip/burn software. It looks promising but I'm still looking and reviewing.

It looks to be OK.

How about: Plextor PX-716UF External DVD±RW Dual Layer Writer (as described here)

From all I could find out it seems to fit what I need. If so I have an opportunity to get a real deal on one if I act fairly quick.

Am I missing something here Nojunkie?? You want to spend 300.00 On a DVD/CD Burner when you can Buy Software, for a Third of the Price, 99.00.
None of my business how you spend your money, but.....????

If I'm missing something here, Please tell. I don't get it.

My Sony DVD/CD Rewritable Drive, Cost about USD 80.00. 8x DVD+R Double Layer, 6X DVD-R Dual Layer Compatible. 9 recordable DVD/CD Formates.
