What would be the best way to make multiple copies of DVDs with labels?

Ok I recently made a movie and have it juts about ready to start making copies of it. (Approx. 100-200 copies) I am wanting to make labels for it like a professional DVD (Not the sticker type). I have a lightscribe DVD burner in my PC. I have never used it though. How long does it normally take to burn a label on a DVD using lightscribe? Another option would be to find some professional DVD copying store or something and have them burn the labels on them with a commercial burner (If there is such a thing). Has anyone ever seen something like this before? Or would it be easier to just use my PC to do it

If you use the Enhanced Contrast utility from LightScribe.com and print at maximum quality + maximum contrast, it's about 45 minutes per label. So make sure you have lots of snacks :D

Sample of max-quality + max-contrast output: http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/mechBgon/lightscribe_enhanced_contrast.jpg Awwwwww, a wittle cheetah cub... :heart::)

At maximum quality + maximum "regular" contrast, figure more like 25-30 minutes per label.

I too lazy to wait so I print out my labels with Click & Print.
Sorry, I'm cheap. My DVDs and CDs are bought in wholesale amounts which are affordable.
I can burn a lot cheaply. Printing labels are nice and also cheap.
my only requirement is everything must be fast. If it's fast, then call me, if not, get someone else.

For that many discs you may want to get them professionally pressed and printed. I have no idea what that would cost though.

Remember the lightscribe is not in color....I think it would take too long...As long as burning the movie...I got it for personal use on an occasional DVD of my CSI TV shows...so I dont care about color...Just wanted something to identify the disk without cheesy sharpie writing...
