LaCie today announced LaCie Remote Burn software for both its Portable DVD±RW with LightScribe and d2 DVD±RW with LightScribe drives. With LaCie Remote Burn, users can take advantage of the LaCie DVD±RW burners' write speeds from any Macintosh located on the local network. Exclusively available to LaCie, Remote Burn can easily burn files with simple drag and drop, while automatically calculating the type of DVD/CD needed. When ready to burn, the software sends data across the network to selected computers with attached LaCie burners.

While compatible for Macintosh only, LaCie Remote Burn is very easy to set up and use. The software provides professional disc burning capabilities, including burning verification and data compression for faster transfer. Additional features enable users to select which LaCie DVD±RW drive to use, manage the burn queue and view completion history to track data copied.

LaCie Remote Burn is bundled with its Portable DVD±RW with LightScribe, Design by Sam Hecht and d2 DVD±RW with LightScribe drives for FireWire. Minimum system requirements call for Mac OS X 10.4 or later, an external LaCie DVD±RW drive and a local area network (LAN) connection.
