No. "Ordinary" DVD-RW drives do not have the special laser needed to create the labels on the thermosensitive LightScribe discs.
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

Lightscribe is a special technology used for labeling CDs and DVDs. With Lightscribe-capable drives and special discs, you can burn a monochromatic picture or label on the disc label. You cannot use the labeling feature in a non-Lightscribe drive, or on a disc without the photosensitive label. However, the discs can be burned in non-Lightscribe drives as well, and regular discs can be used in a Lightscribe drive.
There are drives that are somewhat quieter than others, but this is more a function of speed. The slower the drives spins, the quiter it is. LG, ASUS, and Lightscribe have some noted near silent drives.
There is nothing built-in. HP owns the LightScribe technology and Apple has not chosen to license it from them or to install LightScribe compatible drives in the MacBook Pro. That's not to say that you couldn't purchase a mac compatible external DVD burner that has LightScribe technology. The software to control it is freely available from LightScribe.
LG 8x Internal Blu-ray Disc/Double-Layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive uses LightScribe technology.
