I used to do that with win98 but have not made one in a long time but may reconsider with DVD capacity being what it is.

Although I have made a "work copy" of some DVD movies I own to protect the original, I have not gotten extensively involved in DVD copying. This means my opinion is from inexperience.
To me, those fancy CD and DVD homemade labels are like counterfeit money, easy to spot. To me it looks "cheap" to doll up a bootleg copy with a fancy label. I simply hand wrote the title on every CD or DVD I have ever copied. Although in some people's opinion some of my copies may be bootleg. It is much simpler to admit this than to get into a debate over what is legal to copy and what is not. Since 99% of my copies are for personal use I am the only one who sees the label. If I were not running a computer business I may be more willing to "share" some of my copies. When I provide the extra service of making a "work copy" for a customer of one of their CD's or DVD's they know the label will be handwritten.
I have never heard of a computer business being busted for receiving copies of copyrighted data. Again, legal or illegal is often a hotly debated topic. This means a computer shop can add to its personal library by receiving copies and it not be looked upon near as hard as distributing copies. The officials do not associate receiving with profit taking like they associate distribution with profit taking. I am merely stating my opinion here, not making suggestions.
I am not advocating abandoning your ideas of nice looking labels. I am just throwing in a twist of humor or a different viewpoint. As I said, printed labels look nice, but to me look "cheap." This opinion surely involves some jealousy on my part because I am too lazy to establish the labeling process. Although in one sense they may look "cheap", they do look lots better than handwritten labels and are much easier to read.
Is scanning the original label and making an exact copy of it onto the surface of the CD or DVD a feature in this process? If so those could look so good nobody would know it is a copy.
I will all of you who have taken up this process well in your efforts,
Chuck
