LightScribe DVD & CDR is a new Blank Media technology that Hewlett-Packard (HP) announced for labelling Blank CDR and Blank DVD discs. The basic idea is that you buy a CDR or DVD burner that supports the LightScribe DVD & CDR technology, then buy CDR or DVD discs that are specially coated on the non-data side to work with the LightScribe DVD drives. Finally, after you burn data onto your disc, you can just pop it out, flip it over, and use a special LightScribe software application to have the drive burn a "silkscreen quality" image of your choice right into the disc. This solution may offer more safety than labels that can come unglued, or inks that may penetrate the Blank media and damage data.
Burning an image onto a Lightscribe DVD requires a lightscribe CDR/DVD drive, Lightscribe Blank Media and Lightsrcibe software. Lightscribe is currently only available in greyscale which creates a lightscribe image in black-and-white although lightscribe DVD & CDR are now available in color you can only produce lightscribe pictures in black-and -white.
Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Blank Media (BD), is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers.

Blu-ray products can easily be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs through the use of BD/DVD R/CDR.
Blu-ray plans to provide a wide range of Blank Media including BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE in the near future the Blu-ray Blank DVD will support multi-layers, this should allow storage of upto 100GB-200GB on any one Blu-ray disc.
