Driver For Labelflash Dvd Software



DVD LABELFLASH DRIVER - I was thinking only of the reputation of the manufacturer and how satisfied I'd been with Pioneer drives in the past. In our previous disc-labeling tutorial, Ciprian mentioned the two types of label-burning technologies: Yamaha discontinued support of Labelflash and DiscT 2 technology in The central essential. Yamaha, working together with Fujifilm, has developed the new Labelflash Photo Labeler software using for easy printing of labels on specially made DVD disc. Is Labelflash compatible with Windows 7. It sounds like this program is not going to work until the correct drivers are 'invented'.

Labelflash (sometimes written LabelFlash) is a technology which allows users to burn custom designs or images onto proprietary DVD media first announced in October 2005 as a collaboration between Yamaha and Fujifilm.[1][2] While Yamaha developed the optical drives, Fujifilm manufactured the proprietary Labelflash optical discs.[3]NEC manufactured the first Labelflash compatible drive, the ND4551,[4] which was released in December 2005.[5]

Burning Labelflash media is supported by Nero Burning ROM version 7 and newer.[6] Yamaha partnered with Toshiba[7] and Gateway[8] to provide Labelflash as a feature in computers made by those companies.

Production of Labelflash media was halted on December 22, 2016.[9] Labelflash was officially discontinued in 2017.[10]

Technical details[edit]

In Labelflash, the standard recording head of an optical drive is repurposed to burn images onto a layer of dye made for this purpose on the top of proprietary Labelflash optical media.[11] The dye is 0.6mm below the surface so as to protect it from the elements.[10][12]

The resolution is adjustable between 300 and 1800 dpi (dots per inch). Up to 256 monochromatic shades can be used in the image.[4] The labeling process takes 7 minutes at the lowest resolution and a half hour at the highest.[4] Labelflash is backwards compatible with Yamaha's earlier DiscT@2 technology—this allows Labelflash-compatible optical drives to engrave onto the data side of discs as well.

According to Yamaha, a new iteration of Labelflash which supported four color printing was in the works[11]—however, as Labelflash support was discontinued in 2017,[10] this never came to fruition.

Reception[edit]

The technology is often compared with Hewlett-Packard's LightScribe, released one year earlier. After its release, Labelflash was not available in the United States until 2007,[12] giving HP a three year head start in the US market. Furthermore, worldwide, proprietary Labelflash optical media costed double that of comparable LightScribe media,[10] at US$2.40 per disc,[13][14] which Tom's Hardware called an 'exorbitant' price that made printing 'painful' as test prints were not worth doing.[13] Commenting on the price, Engadget's Marc Perton said he'd 'stick with [his] Sharpie for now.'[15]

Reviewers, such as Gordon Laing for Personal Computer World, also noted that when compared to LightScribe, Labelflash images looked more 'unnatural' and less 'vibrant'.[14]

What is LightScribe?
LightScribe is a simple and efficient way to label your CDs and DVDs. With LightScribe technology, your label design is laser-etched directly on the disc surface. There is no printer involved, so you get ink free labels that will not smudge, wear off, or peal. The laser produces a high quality image which appears in gray-scale with a choice of 6 different background colors (shown on the right).
The LightScribe labeling technology was developed by HP (Hewlett Packard) and released in 2004. This groundbreaking technology was the first to produce disc labels using a laser instead of an ink printer. The same laser that burns a CD and DVD is used to laser-etch a LightScribe design. When you're ready to label a disc, simply put the disc in the LightScribe drive (label side down) and run the AudioLabel Labeler software.
What you need to create a LightScribe label:
1. A LightScribe enabled CD/DVD drive - These drives were shipped with most HP desktop and laptop computers, and can also be bought separately either as an internal or external drive. A LightScribe logo will appear on the outside of the drive or somewhere on your computer as shown below (© 2004 Hewlett Packard).
2. LightScribe CD or DVD media - LightScribe CDs and DVDs have a special coating on the label side that reacts with the laser in your drive. Only LightScribe discs will work so you cannot use a standard CD-R or DVD-R. The LightScribe discs are available in CD and DVD format and come in 6 different background colors (gold, blue, green, orange, yellow, and red).
3. LightScribe System Software (LSS) - This is free software from Hewlett Packard and it acts just like a print driver. Most computers with a LightScribe drive already have this software pre-installed. If your computer does not have the LightScribe System Software, you can download the latest version here:
lightscribe-system-software-1-18-27-10.exe
4. Label Design Software - If you need to create a cool design with images and text then AudioLabel LightScribe Label Software is the best choice. AudioLabel can automatically find your album information (artist, title, track list) and fill out the label for you. It's easy to add images, photos, and backgrounds that fit perfectly in the included LightScribe template. Aside from LightScribe discs, AudioLabel includes templates to print front and back covers for CD, DVD, and Blu-ray cases. The AudioLabel designer software can be downloaded at:
