On one side they are the same, on the other they have a reactant dye that allows lightscribe DVD burners to burn a label for the dvd. so you have your normal burnable side, like any other dvd, and then you have the side that would be blank on a normal dvd, that is able to be burned with a lightsribe drive to show a picture, or words

∙ 15y agoAbsolutely not. Normal DVDs are not lightscribeable, meaning that you cannot use the lightscribe feature of your DVD burner to create a personal label onto your burnable disk. Normal DVDs and DVD-ROMs ARE playable in a lightscribe drive and no harm will come to your disks. Normal DVDs are not designed to be labeled with lightscribe and will damage them if you try it.
