This may be the wrong forum, it has to do with DVD playback. I've heard that if you print a label for a DVD, it may cause it to wobble when it plays back due to an uneven distribution of ink and therefore it won't play. Does anyone have some info on this? And possibly a program or procedure to follow that would result in an even distribution of ink and labels for playable DVDs? I found this great site http://www.cdcovers.cc with a huge archive of DVD covers, the actual disk image and booklets(seriously like eveything ever made for free, same thing for CDs and videogame cases as well) and I'd like to make official looking DVD rips. Thanks for the help.

The isssue is not so much the ink distribution, as the label itself.
Paper labels on a DVD disc are a NO NO !!
Do a search on some of the other forums, for details.
I know the site you are talking about, I use it myself. It is good.
Now, if you really want images on your DVD why not use inkjet coated media, and use an Epson 950 printer. I here the results are excellant.
However, if you just want text and a small single colour image, try the new TDK thermal printer (can't remember the name do a search on Google "TDK Thermal Printer"
I saw the results of this little printer last week, and was most impressed.
Anyway, remember, NO PAPER LABELS !!

cdcovers.cc has a good selection of covers, as for a label program, there is a app in xp PLUS! that lets you put a jpg file and print with the selection of templates they have. i like the avery labels because they are a good brand and they have lots of templates too.Comment

Pardon my ignorance
I apologize for having to ask this question, but here goes.
When you say that "paper labels" are a no-no, are you grouping all stick-on labels into the same category? What I mean is are there other types of stick-on labels that will work okay?
Boy, this even sounds stupid to me, but I gotta ask.Comment

DVD Printing
If you are looking for a complete burning and printing solution, try the Bravo Disc Publisher by Primera Technology. Bravo uses a robotic arm to first burn the disc and then prints full-color, photo-quality images directly onto the surface of an inkjet printable surface disc. No labels are required! Primera also offers the Bravo AutoPrinter for just automted printing. For more info, visit www.primera.com/bravo

Wow, thanks for responding!!
I had forgot I even posted this. What I was really asking is whether labels from other materials would work (eg, plastic, vinyl, etc).
I know since I originally posted this technology has changed, so maybe something cheap and easy exists now.Comment

Labels on CDs and DVDs are a bad idea. Labels are not even and cause failure when playing discs. In addition, labels can sometimes melt and burn. The best solution is to print directly onto the surface of the disc. I would suggest an inkjet or thermal printer and if needed, a duplicator. If you want large quantities of discs, I suggest having them silk-screened and replicated.Comment

Thanks Amie,
I agree, however, I am only a "recreational burner". That is I make copies of my home videos and back up my own library.
It wouldn't be practical for me to invest in any more stuff simply to identify my discs. I will just stick to Sharpies.
Thanks,Comment
