It's normal because by the media type it means the original format of the disc,i.e DVD+R,which then has been booktyped/converted into DVD-ROM.So in the booktype section it will normally show you DVD-ROM if the booktype is successful.It's a good way to see if your DVD+R has been well set in the DVD-Rom format.
Nothing to worry about.

i'm talking about getting the BenQ 1655 for its LS uses. Is LS any good and is it in color(because last i read on LS it was not even in color)? i already have the 1650.

I've got the HP 640c lightscribe. The backups suck-compatability and coaster reasons,but I use it as a reader and lightscriber.
At first,my ls backups weren't very clear. I had to run them through the scribing process twice. I downloaded an extra utility to help enhance the picture,and looks a lot better. You've got variations of brown/tan/gold-all light and dark. For me,they look ok-have a 3D look to them.
I also use full hub white inkjet and shiny inkjet printable media. The shiny inkjet media looks awesome. The shiny inkjet printables are by far the best looking covers,but not full hubs. The covers I download usually decide how I want my covers printed or scribed-majority being shiny inkjet printable..
I've got a pic of all those types of labeling in my user profile page.The ls in that pic,was before the enhancement.

Slightly less than a buck apiece. Usually on sale at stores like bestbuy/office max/office depot,etc. Check out the dvd media room for the weekly sales thread.
It's been a while since I bought any.Probably cheaper now? Verbatim LS is the only ones i'd suggest using. I believe HP LS media is mostly cmags?

Does it have to be external?
Newegg.com didn't have the benq 1655 external. Some peeps put an internal drive in an external enclosure and hook them up via usb.

You can try the external BenQ, make sure the enclosure that it is in has a Prolific chipset. This is supposedly the only chipset that will allow the lightscribe feature to work. One of our members IHoe bought the BenQ in a Galaxy enclosure, which does have the Prolific, but Nero not Sure Thing Label would recognize the lightscribe, but the burner worked fantastic.

@saugmon
well the only reason i was going externalwith the 1655 is because i already have a benq 1650 and a dvd-rom drive in the computer already. can i have 3 drives in the computer?
@arniebear
thanks for the infro mation about the chipset with the enclosure.so should i email them and try to find out about the chipset or should it say somewhere? An you would think that the enclosure would work prefect with the benq 1655 because they are selling them both together but from what you are saying i guesss not.

I've got 1 of each in that pic,from how I label all my dvds:
1 Full hub white inkjet printable
1 Reg hub shiny inkjet printable
1 L/S,before an enhancement I added-I added an enhancement to help the clarity-thanx to arniebear for that utility.That pic is without the enhancement-poorer image quality.
1 regular sharpie marked dvd
Quote:
Black & White only
My ls backups are black and all the variations of color brown-bronze/gold/tan/etc.
I use labels downloaded from this site:
http://covers.box.sk/.
Depending how those disc labels look,determines how I print my covers.
For white/full hubs-definitely the darker covers.
Ligher ones,shiny-but I got to watch out because these are reg hubs
For bronze/gold/-I'll use the lightscribes.
Of all my printable media,the shiny inkjet printables are by far the best looking covers.I'd like to find the full hub shiny.
Then the white full hubs,and then LS.

I haven't found the white/glossy full hub printables yet. The covers should look very good.
TDK has some photo quality discs. Not sure if reg hub or full hub.I also don't like the majority of TDK's manufacturers.
