Is there a software, preferably free, that makes it easy to make a copy of the front of my DVD movie disc and print it onto a DVD sticky label?

Not that I know of .. Depends on what you're trying to do.
But there's been another Topic here at TSG where we make them for someone.

I've read that pasting on a label is not a good idea.
It can make the DVD out of balance .. And there's been reports that it can come loose and jam up the player.

Thanks Jay, appreciate the assistance.

I do have access to a DVD burner with light scribe, guess that still wouldn't be much help getting the picture from the top of the original DVD.........

Light Scribe never really impressed me ... Only one funny color ???

If you're scanning a DVD .. You should be able to just print it.
If you're taking a picture and trying to make it round with a hole ... That can get tricky.

I can print to a printable DVD ... But can't figure out how to make it water proof .. one drop or wet finger and it's destroyed.

PS .. My newest HP printer/scanner came with DVD label making software.
I don't trust HP software, so I never installed it .. I wonder if something like that would help you ???

What I've been doing now, is just printing a copy and cutting out the circle, and putting it into a cd sleeve. I just thought that there should be an easy way to get it printed onto the actual DVD, or stuck to the DVD somehow, but, maybe not. The disks I have aren't the ones without printing, they have the DVD+R etc. on the top.

Maybe I'll just punt and live with things the way they are. Sounds like too much work for no return other than "frilly" looks

Thanks again!!!!!

I'll close this out as solved enough for me!

Have a great day!

I have a friend who's hobby is making/collecting old Movies.
I ask him what label software he uses .. He said a Felt Tip marker .. With a grin.

I've seen his huge collection and I know he prints a square picture for the DVD case.
Irfanview can do the sizing and cropping easily for square pictures.

Something to be said about the ancient techniques of hieroglyphics (a.k.a. magic marker)

I have pretty much just been printing the dvd case from the original copy, printing it in color.

Seems to work

Thanks again for your continued assistance. You do KNOW that Thursday is National Cat Day, right?

Yeah, but, my problem is that I need the DVD label to get into the software somehow
