Sharpies work great, I've used them for a long time and never had a problem. I like to use the fine point Sharpies, cuz they write more like pens. One caveat: If you are restacking your discs on a spindle instead of placing them in a wallet or case, wait for the ink to dry. If you place your disc on a spindle and then place one on top a short time later, the ink does rub off on the data side of the top disc.

Labels can cause all kinds of problems.I also use a fine point Sharpie to mark my discs.

With a label you alter the dynamic of the disc. You make it thicker, not to mention not getting the label on perfect which could make the disc not spin properly.

LABELS SUCK BIG TIME. They will eventually fray, loosen or disintegrate. If you are stuck on making your dvds look pretty, buy TY inkjet printables and print the title (and a nice pretty picture!) directly onto the disc.

Stomping labels are a no no for DVD's. New Epson Printers that write on printable dvd media is another story altogether. Many are going that way.

I was at Kmart the other day and in the area where they keep their blank cds/dvds they had a four pack of metallic markers that are made just for labeling cds/dvds.

I was in the video section at Wally's and got Neato's and Memorex CD markers. The Neato is still going and the Memorex ran out of ink almost before they started writing. I think someone forgot to put ink in the Memorex markers. A good Sharpie does just as well. Back when I first started, I made some really nice labels and put on my DVDs. I used the tool and centered them and they play the way they're supposed to. I know eventually they'll probably come loose, but a year or more later and they're doing okay. But then I don't have any children playing with those discs.
The Sharpie is the bet. If you want art, go with the inkjet printables or make a cover for the case and just label the DVD with the Sharpie.
