    Hard to place this question but I am looking for a good software for preparing CD/DVD labels and covers. The free-bees that come with editing software are just not robust and I fear that the shareware and free downloads will, at some point, not be supported. Can anyone recommend a good fee-based software for this purpose?

    Thanks

    Very few here would recommend labels for DVDs. They tend to throw off the balance and cause play back issues.

    What would you recommend? I know some printers are able to print directly to DVD/CD and since I may be in the market for a new printer that might be a consideration.

    Thanks

    We had some recent discussion about using Taiyo Yuden WaterShield DVD discs. They are said to be excellent to print directly to. The Epson R280 is one such printer that can print to these discs. I don't know how many you can print before you have to buy more ink, nor do I know what the software is like to use for this.

    I noticed some HP printers now have this function and after thinking about the weight of a label, there could be some playback issues so it does make sense. I started using Verbatim and they are great so swtiching balnk media at this point is just not prudent since I invested in a spindle of 100.

    I use Sure Thing four about 5 years now and have no problem with any DVD to play properly. I think it is quite good software for making labels.
    This is a full version, not one sold with package.
    If you want to get dedicated CD/DVD printer, you need to buy special CD/DVD made for printing.
