I've worked with various printers before I've never had issues getting 
gradients printed. A gradient with  one color to transparency is 
considered 1 color. A gradient from one color to another is considered 2 
colors.

The above is, of course, on paper. I don't know about printing on DVDs 
but I'd imagine it's similar.

The current svg on the website is AFAIK the template that was used to 
print on a paperboard DVD slipcase.

I played around a bit in inkscape - attaching the results, anyone can 
feel free to play with it.
