[snip] CDs and DVDs are fundamentally different: a CD is a polycarbonate disk with its markings (either stamped or dye for rw) being covered by a thin layer of varnish. For a DVD the data is sandwiched between two disks! That means that there is much more protective material between the data and the top of the disk. For single-sided DVDs it should be rather save to use more aggressive solvents, pens, etc. on the non-data side.
