    Hey guys found a great site for labels when backing up your movies its dvd-covers.net...now does anyone know where one can get templates for cd/dvd labels on mediaface 4 cause everything on google image is square and doesnt look right when applied to the dvd
    thanks

    No!!! Do not apply labels to your backed-up DVD's. It causes them to wobble, and you'll have all kinds of data reading errors. Trust me, people who applied labels and realized their mistake too late have been searching the forums for ways to remove them (like gasoline! heheh!). Seriously, applying a label to a DVD is one of the WORST things you can do to it.

    There are printable DVD's out there, that allow you to use your printer to print right onto the top of the disk. I don't know much about this, but you'd definitely need the right kind of printer and the right media to make it work.

    Personally, I just stick with felt-tipped markers.

    I have used labels with no problems. I use the real thin ones.

    I use Media face with Fellowes labels and have never had any problems.

    I have a question about making labels. Does scanning a DVD cause problems or any marks on the DVD?

    What? Do you mean you're going to place the DVD top-down on a scanner? Well, that would be okay, as long as you protect the bottom side (which will now be point up) with a paper towel or something before you close the lid to the scanner.
