Mike,
You can buy CD/DVD printable labels (high-quality photo glossy (or matte)
paper--same paper that you use to print photos) and print them from your
ink-jet printer.  Once you've created a template that works for the layout
of the labels on the page, you can customize them with artwork and get as
plain or fancy as you wish.  I use Photoshop to do this, but it could
probably be done with other programs as well.  Then you just apply the label
to the DVD.  This way you can use the see-through jewel cases for the DVDs
if you want to save a little $$.
