What the heck is the difference? I am going to order a 50-pack of optodisc DVD-R media, and ones 10 dollars more because its inkjet printable.....what the heck does this mean? Can't I put labels on my DVD's if they arent inkjet printable? or do the disks get shoved into the printer and get printed on.....im confused......HELP

You can get special pinters that print on cds & dvds. I guess you don't have one though so it's a bit of a waste of money in that case ;)
