Some information for Mac users, none of the software supplied on the installation disc is Mac OSX compatible, other than a pdf file. To use Lightscribe, you'll need to download the installation software from their website, not the LG one, at www.lightscribe.com, as well as the most basic lightscribe design/burn software. As far as SecurDisc is concerned, forget it. That software's only for Windows and frustratingly enough, Nero, who do it for their Windows burning software, (even though they produce burning software for Macs (Toast, which is hideously expensive)), don't do SecurDisc for Toast and Macs.
I had bought the rewriter just as a rewriter, but had hoped those extras would have justified the need for it, as it was something I wasn't desperate for, but to make use of the SecurDisc option as well as Lightscribe, would have been great.
