I am now getting many dvd's that I have burned stop playing in my dvd player
half way through, I have tried different disks, I have tried slower
speeds, a friend suggested that I don't put labels on to my disks, as he
says this can cause a problem, can anyone verify this please, or suggest
where I am going wrong

Many thanks for quick replys, I will try without labels, but can you
suggest why labels are bad, beats me

They can throw the balance of the disc off, dvd
players are much touchier about that kind of thing
than cd players.

I've also read somewhere that the adhesive on the
back of a label can seep into the media over time
messing up the playing layer, and also something
about the adhesive contracting a tiny bit as it
dries over time causing a micro contraction of
the media enough to throw something as delicate
as a laser off enough to cause problems.

Also what would be best to identify disks, permanent marker pen?

Some kinds of ink can bleed into media, though
discs with a matte finish or are meant to be
printed on by injet printers should be safe.

Wouldn't it be simplest to just lable the
container you store the disc in?

I tought it looked better if disk was labelled too, but it seems I was
being a dork, thanks for your help, my labelling stuff will be going in
the bin, many thanks

I've been using relatively small labels, about 3/8" x 1-1/4" with no
problems so far. I place them close to the center hub to reduce
centrifugal force (and thus imbalance). They have removable adhesive so
I could remove them if desired.

So far so good.
