With the replacement of six DVD burners all Media Center computers now support DVD +/- R Dual Layer DVDs.  All media projects can now be completed on DVD-R’s.  Hopefully the DVD+R’s will be phased out.  The six new drives installed in the HP computers all support LightScribe Disc Labeling technology.

With the addition of LightScribe, custom DVD labels can be easily created using hundreds of pre-designed templates and the software already available on the computers.  LightScribe CD’s are available in the Media Center.
