In some sort of self-test, I got myself an HP dvd840i DVD burner today -- it's identified as HP dvd840b within System Profiler. As you might know, LaCie seems to offer the only LightScribe DVD writers available for the Mac at this point of time, and they are licensed by the LightScribe consortium.
However, it seems that HP's dvd840i with LightScribe is also supported by Mac OS 10.4 (tested on 10.4.3). My test machine is a G5 Dual 2.7GHz box with 8 GB RAM, running Toast Titanium 7 and DiscLabel 3.0.
Disk Utility, iTunes, iMovie HD , Toast Titanium 7, DVD Studio Pro, and iDVD definetly do support this burner. In addition, SmileOnMyMac's DiscLabel is able to burn images (tested on TIFF, JPEG and PSD) on LightScribe-enabled media. It takes anywhere from seven to 30 minutes (depending on contrast of the image) to burn a design to disc.
[robg adds: I have labeled this one 10.4 only, but if someone has the ability to test the burner in a previous system version, please do so and post a comment and I'll correct the classification if necessary.]
