    I'm looking to scan my dvd discs with my scanner and I'm looking for a guide(tutorial) that gives me step by step instructions. Anyone know where I can find one or know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

    Just put the disc picture side down on scanner and hit scan button! Once it's scanned and in your 'puter you can have your way with it. Then you need the software to print labels. Is that more of what your looking for? Just FYI, putting labels on cd's that you burn is kinda tricky. Make sure the label is centered. An off center label can cause the dvd to "wobble" on the spindle in your dvd player and wear out the spindle bearings faster than normal wear. When I back up my movies, I print jacket covers for the plastic case, but have stopped printing labels for the disks. You can buy printers to print directly on the disks or a "Lightscribe" dvd burner from HP that will burn an image on the top of the disk. Media is kinda high and it takes forever but it is pretty cool. Google "lightscribe" for details. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your reply. I have tried scanning a few already but I don't know how to get them the correct size. I have downloaded a few and they were the perfect size when I imported into my printing program. So I'm trying to figure out the perfect dimensions.
