5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, July 21, 2009

Having past experience with Lightscribe drives, this drive was easy to use. Although Amazon packaged it loosely and I feared it wouldn't work when I opened it, it operates just as it should.

Easy to use: just install the software with the disc that's included and follow the directions. My only problem was the file type I originally tried to burn with. It would tell me my DVD was done before it even scribed anything onto it. After I changed it to a JPG it worked just fine!

This producy includes a stand so it can also be on its side, but I'm guessing it operates better laying down.

Great product if your computer is too full for an internal drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is FANTASTIC!!, January 13, 2010

I received the Memorex MRX-530LE CD/DVD Recorder as a Christmas gift. This burner is FANTASTIC! It is very easy to use. I have already burned close to 60 DVD's without any problems. I have used the LightScribe feature on about 20 of the discs with no problems. I must admit, the Lightscribe feature is a bit slow but it is not a big deal. I have not had any discs with errors. The Nero software that comes with the burner is easy to use and install. This burner burns quickly. I was considering buying an HP burner but I'm glad I was given the Memorex. This burner also burns dual layer discs at only 8X speed. Not a big deal to me. I highly recommend this burner without reservation. My only regret is why I didn't purchase one long ago. This burner feels solid, not flimsy. It feels well constructed. For all of you considering a DVD/CD burner you can't go wrong with the Memorex MRX-530LE. It is a great investment that will pay for itself after a handfull of burns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for, November 10, 2010

I have a Mac Mini (Mac OS X) which came to me with the iMovie and iDisc software installed. My system had the CD burner capabilities but not the DVD burner. I was looking for something I could just plug in and burn. It worked amazingly well with my software. I have limited space on my hard-drive so I was reluctant to install the software that comes with the unit. I did notice however, that the software provided offers the label etching feature which I would find quite useful. It burned the DVD (15 mins long) within a half an hour timeframe and it was DVD player compatible. Would totally recommend this unit for anyone looking for a Mac compatible burner.
