Hi Glorieux;

The best freeware version I'd found for Windows is SureThing's CD
Labeler 4SE. Years ago Lightscribe and SureThing promoted this free
version but since then have tried to bury it. It's still available for
download here <http://www.lightscribe.com/files/setup.zip>. Come to
think of it, this is a last known freeware for SureThing's labeler that
I know of and it's the only place I've been able to find it.

<lightscribe.com> also has a couple of very simple apps besides. Check
out their download section. I forget how useful they are.

Other than that, there's a couple rough-hewn apps in Sourceforge. I use
qtlightscribe <http://sourceforge.net/projects/qlscribe/> to good effect
but my needs are pretty basic. For windows, there's something called
DVDScribe at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdscribe/> but I haven't
used it.

Even SureThing's freebie, although the most polished, I remember as
being a bit... kludgy. In other words, be prepared to exhibit some
patience the first few times.

hth,

Thanks - very informative.

Seems like they've made things easier since I last looked.
