I doubt you can do it from Powerdirector, However at one time Cyberlink did have a label printing program that maybe could print Disk Labels.
They still do have:

surething v7.0

This software prints onto a label for a DVD/CD which then attaches to the disk. It also will print onto printable media. It will do "lightscribe" printing as well. There has been a long-standing caveat concerning printing onto a label then attaching it to a DVD disk because of the higher rotation rate of DVDs vs CDs. Surething claims to have eliminated this concern with the adhesive used on their labels. I've used it for several iterations and have always been happy. v7.0 is Win10 compatible and you can try it for free (I have no affiliation)

Cyberlink Labelprint is a simple to use program with easy functions, useful but not particularly powerful. Sometimes I just use it for the printing itself, importing my label design as a jpeg image from other software.

I, too use Surething for designing.

Under NO circumstances would I EVER put a sticky label on a disc, EVER. It adds weight, balance issues, and can easily refuse to play or eject.

I buy quality DVDs Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim (not the Life series) made for inkjet printing and use an Epson Expression printer.

I too use Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim and print onto printable media, as well as using "lightscribe" when the aesthetics warrant the unique look. I was merely pointing out what Surething will do and did mention the caveats of a paper label. I don't have much trepidation in using a paper label on a CD, though I never do; I use only printable media and RARELY burn CDs anymore. wink Just out of curiosity, Barry, do you spray the printed label with any kind of clear stabilizer to protect the completed image from grubby/sweaty hands? I rarely see this topic discussed.

I have not sprayed my discs, nor sprang for watershield discs, either. My firstplay video always states the artwork is included as data as well as a streamable format (space permitting) and they should copy the entire contents of the disc to their computer.

An additional issue with "paper" labels is the stability of the label itself with time.

I have had multiple CD / DVD's where after 2 to 5 years they are no longer usable due to shrinkage of the label. Apparently when the label shrinks, it "cups" the disk into a bowl shape and the drive is no longer able to read the data.


Place the disk down on a flat table and you can visibly see it rock side to side.

I have also seen wrinkling issues where the label grew due to moisture absorption from the atmosphere but the shrinkage issue seems to be more common.


Lightscribe or direct printing is best if using a disk.

USB thumb drives are so cheap that many vendors are now using them instead of disks.

Thanks for the reminder. I do recall a company that claimed and sold the software and a safe sticky paper dvd label that you placed on the hub ring of the dvd. I used it maybe once or twice but hated it because of the small picture on the label. It might have been Neato, Surething, or Memorex. I went back to using a sharpie that claims to ink specially formulated for use on cd/dvd like here: https://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-CD-DVD-Twin-Tip/dp/B0017TKW74 .
