On a CD, I could see this as a possible problem as the thin layer that actually holds the data is right on top of the CD. They got a little smarter for DVDs, and sandwiched the fragile data layer between two layers of plastic. I doubt a marker will eat through that. The problem I had with labels on DVDs, even using a doodad to properly center them, was lots of standalone DVD player video glitches and lockups. Cured every time by reburning sans label.
