I have started labeling my DVD's with labels using a Memorex stumper.
Why play them on my PC I have no problems but when I put them I my
Toshiba player the start to hang about half way through. I have
successfully ripped the label back off of one DVD and it fixed the
problem.

My question is, what am I doing wrong and how is every one else doing
it? Could it be my Toshiba DVD player doesn't have the tolerance for
a slight offset labels?



TIA

I used to label everything, but I have noticed a higher failure rate with
labeled discs, so I have stopped labeling to see what happens.

Some players can't handle labeled discs, Toshiba is one of them. I recommend
steering very clear of Toshiba, get a Panasonic or Pioneer.

I recommmend steering very clear of labels and getting a disc printer.

We don't use labels... get a CD/DVD marking pen, or a fine-point Sharpie
or a printer that will print on special media (has a printable surface).

I aggree with this post.

DON'T USE the Memorex labels - they are too thick - Memorex KNOWS this and
still markets them for use on DVD's when they often cause them not to play
properly affter application.

Go to www.dvdr4less.com for their "no-wobble" labels - you can use the Memorex
stamper to apply them and - save for watching out for airbubbles - the discs
play fine using them

The Memorex labels that I purchased several months ago were actually too
thin--noticeably thinner than either Fellowes or the ones Imation used to
make. In addition, quality of color printing was noticeably poorer with the
Memorex labels, which is why I gave up on them.

Perhaps my luck will run out one day, but I've observed no problems to date
with discs that have been labelled. I do use an applicator to properly
center them, perhaps that's the key.
