I was buying blank DVD's with printable surfaces, I had an epson inkjet with a tray that would print directly on the disk.

I would get a shipment of 4 DVD's from netflix, rip all 4, shrink them down below 4.7G, burn them, print a label on them and put them in a binder. and mail them back out for the next set of 4. The output looked shockingly good. I made it through a spindle or so before i moved on to tversity and stopped dealing with physical media.

It was so awesome when I bought a LightScribe dvd burner and could put various decorations on the dvd along with the content label. The novelty wore off quickly though.

Yeah, I had an external HP light scribe at one point. I bought a single piece of media for it, It just took so long....
