These labels are good quality and scored for easy trimming by hand after printing. I had no real problems with the included software. It isn't what I would call commercial quality, but it worked fine for my needs. I liked the fact that it could take any image off my hard drive and automatically scale it to fit the label - I didn't have to scale the image manually. It also allowed me to print a calibration page to align the software to my printer (a simple process that it walks you through step-by-step), so that I wouldn't have to waste a label to align the printer. One thing to be aware of, though, is that these labels are size A4, not your standard 8-1/2 by 11 size. As long as your printer can be set to use A4 paper, you shouldn't have any problems.

This product is a sad joke. It's expensive of course. The paper is just heavyweight paper that's perforated so you can bend it and break out the inserts themselves... which takes some effort (not sure if it'd be quicker just getting heavyweight paper and using a paper cutting board). But, whatever.

However, the software is crap. That's the appropriate term. Reading this I can save you an hour of your precious time. No you can't make the template show right-side up. That's right... to use the software you have to TILT YOUR HEAD SIDEWAYS. I'm not kidding! I guess you could also turn your monitor on it's side. You can rotate the text so it shows the way it should. But when you edit it, it'll be sideways again. So you'll have to turn your head (or monitor) back and forth sideways. What kind of company would sell such a product?

And oh yeah... if you're looking for templates for the DVD Inserts? ... nada. They're not there!

The materials appear to be of a good quality, not that I'd know. The software that comes with it to print hasn't been updated in years, and its the original release. Sure enough, after spending days trying to get it to work at all it was clear the entire purchase was a waste of money. I checked the company's website about the software, and they have no updates in three years, no way of getting support.

I expect programs to have bugs; that's normal. The problem is this company apparently has no intention of either taking customer support requests and hasn't released even a bug patch in years, so the chances of it working on a modern computer with a modern printer is increasingly slim.

These labels are of good quality and the print on them is OK.

But the program that comes with the package is horrible. It is antiquated, inflexible, and downright poorly designed. You have to view the page sideways, there is no align feature ... the list goes on and on.

If you want to use these inserts, be prepared to use a program like power point and spend the time to measure the paper to align it on the page yourself. The software that comes with this package sure isnt going to do the job right.

I've been using this sofware for all my label burning for about a year. It was free and easy to install and use. Perfect for large or small jobs. If you're looking for custom label making - this is not the software for you. I found a website on line to download FREE movie and gaming labels and they work great with this software. Couldn't be happier!

I develop DVDs for my customers and used to purchase DVD case inserts in bulk. Then I tried Memorex's product and was sold on it. They print up nicely (I use a color laser printer). Perhaps the best part of these inserts is that they are consistently well perforated so that they separate very cleanly from the waste trim. The other product I used to use would have to be trimmed to clean up the edge of the paper. You won't be disappointed with this product.

For Mac users, - the latest software version that is FREE... only is supported by Mac OS 10.3... are you kidding me? Then they want you to buy a $35.00 version of the program. This is absolute crap! Free for Windows Users! Plus the paper is mediocre at best. I should have just done it all in Photoshop using Professional Quality paper, I thought this would be a quicker alternative, yet, dollar for dollar, pro- paper and photoshop will get you better results, FASTER! Don't waste your time.

The label is of good quality and very easy to trim by hand. Once I calibrated my printer using the supplied software, the alignment is great and consistent. I find the software is intuitive and easy to use. Printed about 50 DVD labels so far, haven't had any problems.

The Memorex have a good weight/thickness but have a perforated spine and I can never get my print outs to line up exactly. It would have been better if they didn't put the spine perfs in the paper.

These are the same nice cases that you often find in box sets containg more than two DVDs. I am currently copying family VHS tapes to DVD and they are great for the copies. Of course if you record movies from television then you will need something to put your DVD in and these are really nice, the DVDs are held securely in place.
