A DVD cover label is the information that you add directly to the DVD disk. You can make DVD cover labels for downloadable movies or copying backup DVDs. In addition, you can place an image to the DVD disk for family videos. This type of label allows you to quickly search through your collection for the DVD you want to watch. Create DVD cover labels with a personal touch or use stock images of your favorite movies.
