DVD labeling: Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

It doesn't so much print a label as print directly onto printable CD/DVD's. I've printed two so far and I'm really impressed at how easy it is. You can even stick a CD in the scanner and it will copy the image directly on to your blank printable CD. Amazing!

are the label side of the discs purple or are you referring to the packaging?

I have used my LG Gpo8LU10 x8 to label lots of cd's that were burned on another burner. I don't see any reason why it would not do a dvd just as well. It does a great job. Of course they were lightscribe discs.

Do you mean "Do I need labels"? Labels are nice, of course, but you can also write on the top of the disc with a permanent marker, with some caveats. There are now thoughts that even marker ink will eventually bleed through the top surface and degrade your recording. Here is a good article on the subject, including info on newer markers deemed safer: http://www.tapeonline.com/articles/using-permanent-ink-markers-on-cds-dvds Amazon currently has some of these "safer" markers for sale. I haven't tried them myself - just look for "Sharpie CD/DVD Twin Tip Permanent Markers" here.

As far as I know, adding a label to the DVD has no effect at all on the DVD's life. We have some really old DVDs with labels that have seen extensive use without one being life compromised.

I play DVDs all the time however, just recently I purchased 4 sets of a popular TV series, several of the DVDs when loaded to play I get a load hum. I have tried playing them on different machines and it is still there. I have had this looked at by an expert and it is not the machines but the DVDs. When these were manufactured the labels were not properly centered on the DVD therefore it causes the DVD to be out of balance and can ultimately damage the player if played continually.

I had a similar problem with Amazon DVE-R 100 pile I bought.....Think it was just an abberation...but have been carefully buying only DVD+R ever since......also since found they worked as CDs...perhaps just abeled wrong.

I own a Memorex CD & DVD label maker. It comes with the software. You may be able to find it on Amazon as well.

The printable label is already part of the disc. These are meant to be printed on using a disc printer, and not where you affix a printed label. These are great discs :)

Sorry, can't help. We use the machine for DVD only and so far have not encountered this issue.

I am assuming it is the logo or brand name. I have seen some dvd's that appear to be generic with no logo or brand name printed on it. One added note, I have read some people having difficulty getting certain brands to work on their tv dvd recorders. If you plan on using these for that primary purpose, you may want to research it further.

Honestly, I did not try to print the titles on the actual CD/DVD. I think I tried but I may not have had the proper sofware to do it. Sorry! Good luck.

I do not have Label Maker Expert Kit, however I have the information sheet for Label Maker Expert and clearly says it will do jewel case inserts. I label the DVD using one of the pictures from the content and then I use a slim jewel case to house the disc and there is no need for me to make a case insert.

Its 300 labels. Suggestion if you use these for DVDs peel off the center section after you apply the label. The middle label section can cause play back probllems on some DVD players or reader issues on some computer DVD readers.

Only thing I can think of is the recorder. Try using a different recorder. Did the recorder close and finalized the dvd. Some people leave it open to add to dvd later. These are not the disk for that. Check your recorder settings and make sure it closes and finalize dvd.

My experience is, so far so good. The labels fit the full length of the jewel case's spine and that makes it a little hard to get the label lined up just right, but that's a quibble. The labels have helped me clean up and clarify the storage of home-burned music discs.

I've used the Brother P-Touch labels this way and it seems to work for me, but I know some people worry about unbalancing the CD/DVD with the extra weight of the label.
