Hi,

I bought an HP dvd740 dvd burner a while back and it has their proprietary
disc labeling technology that allows you to burn a disc, then flip it over
and it will etch an image or text of the label, into the disc itself.  The
software also will, I believe, allow you to put a gif or some such image on
there if you want that instead.

I have the cd that came with it.  Is there a plugin that will have me
install that cd ok?  Does wine work allright for something like this?  I
would really like to exclude the proprietary sw and just work directly with
the hardware and os, if at all possible.

Another strategy might be to try to reverse engineer the way it burns.
Obviously the hardware has the burning capability and I have the media that
supports it as well.  Would anyone know if this has been done already?  I
would think with the right command line options you could 'force' the burner
to burn text for example.

Any help is appreciated -
Marc
