PS or IL for CD/DVD labels

Hello, I'm new tp printing and I've just used the print cd software that came with my printer. Which one of the programs is better for designing cd/dvd labels? I want to print directly on the disc. Do any of these apps come with a template or would I have to make my own? If I have to make my own can someone give me a quick overview? How does the measuring work? I would like to print on the whole disc, I think it's called "hub-printing."
thx

You will need to make your own templates. For help in using either program, please post in the individual forums.

Options for creating DVD labels?

Can anyone educate a fairly tech-savvy but first-timer on iDVD/iMovie on the options for creating/printing labels for DVDs? (by 'labels' I'm referring to the paper or plastic that's stuck to the ouside of the disk identifying it).
Is this functionality built in? Ideally you'd be able to print a label similar to the opening menu scene.
Do paper labels create problems for a spinning disk, and if so what's best?
Thanks much,
Neil

iMovie HD 6 allows the user much greater control of adding multiple audio tracks to a movie or editing the existing audio track. This screenshot shows using multiple audio tracks for a slideshow.

Several features were removed from iMovie 7 which caused a hue and cry from users. So Apple has made V6 available to iLife 08 users. Both versions can exist together on your Mac and be used separately if so desired.

How to make template for avery dvd labels?

Can one make a template to print avery dvd labels?

You have all your versions wrong.
The current Mac OSX is now v10.9.2.
We have no idea what version of Pages you are talking about or what is happening when you try to open them. Possibly you have Pages '08 files which Pages 5 will not open.
Any older version of Pages should however still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

PSD Template for Memorex DVD Labels?

Got a great price on Memorex CD Label Refills, 120 pack, but I discovered the alignment on them is not vertical. Each label is in opposite corners.
Is there a template for this someone knows of? If not, can you tell me how to get my existing pdf for Avery labels to be used in Memorex's exPressit Label Design Studio?
With thanks,
Paul

In Ai, I unlocked the layer, selected the layer, then double clicked on the area I wanted to edit using the Text Tool.
Let me know if that works for you.
Note: Sorry, the "Type Tool".

Also, I don't really need to select the layer. I just double click on the text area I want to edit. Also, I'm using CS6 now. I think I was using CS4 when I asked the question originally.

You can create the design for a DVD label in Create>More Options. Once you have the label set up, you would copy it to a template for the labels you plan to use. (The PSE template makes one label, while most printed labels are two-up.)

Creating DVD labels

Are there any templates available for Pages for creating DVD labels? If not, can someone recommend some DVD labeling software (preferably free)?
Thanks!

There are several options for templates you can use in Pages. First, there those submitted by other users & available at iWork Community. Three possibilities for Word templates are Microsoft, Neato & Fellowes

Good Software for DVD Labels?

I had to replace my hard drive and therefore lost 3rd party apps I had installed. Now that I have the chance, can someone recommend a good DVD Label software? I used expressit before, and it seemed very basic and quirky. It seems to be the only thing obvious and available in stores like Staples, etc. Any other ideas? Anything I can download for free online?

The reported damage is both from the adhesive melting and the imbalance when the label is not placed correctly. Some people have had DVD disks getting stuck inside players because the adhesive loosened. Others complain of stuttering and playback problems....problems that do not show up if the same project is burned to a DVD disk without a stick-on label.
If anyone has used the stick-ons and is not having problems, all I can say is wait....sometimes the poor playback will not be apparent for some time, and then it starts ruining your disk.
I don't use any stick-ons. I think the very first DVD I made, using the first versions of iMovie and iDVD, did have a stick-on label, and the disks were ok after about 5 years. However, I reburned to Verbatim's archival gold disks, and wrote carefully on the disk with a CD/DVD marker. (I don't have a printer that can print to disks).

Do you make labels for the DVDs that you burn?

I am wondering actually how many people make special labels for the DVDs that they burn. Do you? In looking at the choices of Taiyo Yuden blank DVD-R for sale on Amazon.com, I see a lot of descriptors that I assume to be for people who plan on making special DVD labels, which means an extra software program to print them out etc etc etc.

Mary (That Girl, not That Guy),
First, "19 years" of video could be a nightmare of footage? How many hours of tape are we talking here? Depending on that, it seems like you have to do some cropping just to sit down and watch anything with your kids. If we are talking only a few hours of video total, for now I would just play the tapes on the tv through the video recorder itself. MOst video recorders have "Video out" and "audio out" that you should be able to plug right into your TV, just like a Gameboy or PS3, and once hooked up you would select the source, just like a VCR, DVD, PS3 etc from the TVs menu. you should have a remote control for that video camera as well so you can control it from the couch. Put the camera in play mode and go.
If you have eons of tape, you may still want to do that option for now, and just fast forward as needed. Afterall, sounds like for now this is not the documentary of your lives, but a trip down memory lane.
Or you could import it all to your computer using iMovie, but realize that every hour i think will take up about 12 GB of harddrive space and you may need to pre-purchase an external HD to import to.
IF you import all of it, you could play the EVENTS (entire clips) without creating a PROJECT (Chosen clips or parts of chosen clips), and you can play it full computer screen by clicking on one of the arrows at the bottom left of the iMovie screen, under the listed events. And you can play that full event computer screen on your TV with proper cables, depending on what Apple computer you are playing from and what outlets (video in etc) your TV has. ALSO you will need to send the audio to the TV separately through the earphone plug (audio out) to the computer's speakers (audio in).
I have no experience with APple TV, mixed reviews, but what i think it does is what a airport express does wirelessly with audio for iTunes and music, Apple TV does for video off your screen? I may be wrong. Basically it avoids the cables. Appleman likely knows this and how good appletv is.
also before you start importing, be 100% sure you know how you want to do it so you never have to do it again, read this entire thread:

Thanks,

[Edited for Personal Information]

Hi there Jim, aka @jknud , welcome to the forums
I understand you're looking to print CD/DVD labels to your Officejet 6500 Wireless, from your Mac.
There are normally third party software programs you can download to print out whichever brand of labels you are trying to print on. If you wish to let me know which type of labels you are using, I will see if I can find their support forums for you.
Have a great Monday

How to design a dvd label in illustrator and export as interactive

hello!
I need to design a dvd label for a client and they want to be able to make edits to it after I design it. Is there a way I can design it in illustrator.. save as an interactive pdf and then they can edit it with acrobat? I know with acrobat you can make edits to type but can you make edits to colors, photos, etc? And if you can't does anyone know of another application that they would be able to use without having adobe? let me know thanks!

You can't replace content in Acrobat. You only can use the touchup tools to adjust text and make minor corrections on images like cropping or assigning a different color profile. and of course you can use form elements to provide dynamic text. If you need to provide more than that, you better look into otehr solutions which could be as trivail as the software they use to actualyl print the DVD labels (canon Easy Label Print and similar) or a generic, free tool like Open Office Draw, Inkscape or Scribus...

Recommendations for creating dvd case inserts?

Hello! As far as I can tell, iDVD 6 has no feature for creating dvd case covers/inserts.
I'd appreciate recommendations for inexpensive or free software for making such covers.
Thanks!
David

You're welcome, David. I'm not familiar with all the Sharpie product line, but the common one that marks anywhere uses a fairly harsh solvent, and in theory could eat through to the reflective coating of the DVD. I found a Memorex product at Fry's Electronics named, "CD Marker." It is labeled non-toxic, water-based.
Personally, I've not had any problems with the sticky labels (I've used Memorex and CD Stomper labels for a few years) but there are some strong feelings opposed to their use (and I can imagine a problem could come up in 10-15 years). You can do a search in these forums; an alternative is printing directly onto the DVD if you have the right printer and disks.

Is there a printable DVD label that will not cause my Super Drive to crash?

CD Stomper and Avery paper labels cause the Super Drive to: reject the CD/DVD disk; report that the disk is damaged/unreadable; or just grind to a halt. Replaced the iMac internal Super Drive - still has same problem. Disks were prepared using the Super Drive and play without problems until I put a label on and try to play it in the same Super Drive. Labeled disks work fine in LG and Panasonic DVD players connected to TVs.

Many thanks. Used an external LG super multi drive burner to put labels on DVDs using Lightscribe, but the contrast and label limitations (black-gray) are less than ideal. Noticed that Avery sells CD/DVD label packages with paper labels for about 40 CDs and 2 "film" labels for DVDs. Web site doesn't appear to have packages of just DVD "film" labels. Has anyone had success with "film" labels for DVDs?

What software do I use to make cd/dvd labels?

I enjoyed using iDVD to put together a slideshow for an 80th birthday party. Now I want to share the slideshow on dvd's, but what software should I use to make dvd labels and jewel case covers?

I agree 100% with Klaus1. You don't want to use stick on labels. If you have an Epson R series printer you can print directly to discs with it.
For printing on discs or making case inserts/covers one application that I like is Discus. Here are some of the designs I've created and used with it:

Using Canon for Printable DVDs

I've been told not to use stick on labels for DVDs. I have a Canon iP6700D printer. So I got the tray from eBay to use for printing DVDs. I went through all the steps so the tray will fit into my printer and went through all the steps on the **** Printer website to change the printer mode so it will print on the DVDs. I got a demo version of DiscLabel and tried to print a label but my printer keeps telling me "The inner cover is open, close the inner cover and press OK". If I close the inner cover I can't put in the tray with the DVD. I've done the page setup and selected Tray C as the 'Paper Size'.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong??? I would appreciate any help I can get.

Copy/paste from the Canon manual:
Cautions When Printing on a Printable Disc
Be sure to use the disc tray supplied with this printer. It has a "G" on the upper side.
Do not print on printable discs that are not compatible with inkjet printing. The ink will not dry and may cause problems with the disc itself or devices which the disc is loaded onto.
Do not print on the printable discs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on discs unreadable.
Hold the printable discs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or recording surface.
Remove any dirt from the disc tray before placing printable discs on the disc tray. Loading discs in a dirty disc tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
Do not attach the disc tray while the printer is in operation.
Do not remove the disc tray while printing on printable discs. Doing so may damage the printer, thedisc tray, or the disc.
Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the disc tray. The printer may not be able to recognize loading of the printable disc, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the disc traybecome dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the plate.
The disc tray may become dirty if software other than Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
Always use the supplied 3.15 inches (8 cm) disc adapter when printing on 3.15 inches (8 cm) printable discs.
Always close the inner cover after printing on printable discs.
To keep the print quality at an optimal level, it is recommended to stop printing discs once every ten discs when printing more than ten discs continuously.
To stop the printing operation, detach the disc tray from the printer, then close the inner cover. After approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the inner cover, attach the disc tray to the printer, then resume printing.
