This section offers some reasons and tips for using CD/DVD labels.

Section 1 - Labeling Tips

After spending so much time, and effort to burn your DVD disk why not go that extra mile, and buy some CD/DVD labels. Why use labels, you say?

1. Beats using shitty CD/DVD pens
2. One side is protected from grubby hands, and grease
3. Makes your DVD's look professional
4. Easy to locate DVD's (They're labeled, duh!)
5. Makes DVD's look so purdy :)

The labels I use are just some Avery CD/DVD Matte White Labels from Futureshop. They cost around $17 Canadian, and come with 40 labels, and some cheap software that just didn't satisfy my needs :). For software I strongly recommend Surething Deluxe 4.0. It's a nice, easy, and intuitive program.

All you do is select the template that corresponds to your DVD labels, so for me that would be Avery 5931, but make sure you a template that matches the company name on the package, and the code. Once you find the right template drag on a background picture, and size it the your liking, add some text (title, which episodes), add Dolby Digital 2/0, or 5.1 whatever you encoded your ac3 to be (might as well, you have encoded soundtracks to dolby (be proud of it, and show it off). Now turn on the printer (hopefully you have a decent one) Make sure you put the label templates in with the three arrows facing down (I'm sure the instructions on your templates can explain it better), set your printer options, and print it out.
