[MacDV] Re: DVD Labels

[Shirley Kehr]

For years we've been cautioned not to use Sharpie markers on CDs because
they eventually bleed through and destroy the CD. I'd be even more
cautious about using one on a DVD. There are markers made for CDs that
don't have this effect (on the dye?). I wonder if they'd be safe on
DVDs. 

Personally, I rarely mark a CD. I mark its case and make sure I put it
back in the case. If I do use a sharpie, I use it on the inner hub or
the outer part where nothing was recorded on the reverse side.
