    Nero has a DVD cover maker, I've never used it so I can't say if it's good or not.

    Here is a site where you can buy [bold]ORIGINAL[/quote] covers for about 70 cents a piece.

    http://www.dvdreplacementcovers.com/special.php

    And here is a place where you can download not only covers but also the actual DVD artwork, the one on the DVD itself, to print out.

    http://www.cdcovers.cc/covers.php

    *note* to print something straight on the disc you have to have a special printer, and special disc.

    Not sure why but half of my post is showing up as my sig

    Nero Cover Creator is a pain in the ass to use but it works. Easier than using Photoshop/PaintShop Pro anyway. Tho if you truelly are looking to create your own custom made DVD covers, best route is PhotoShop or whatever Photo Editing package you chose.

    a free cheap alternative , XpressIT can do the job, just not nearly as in depth as Photoshop.. Usually comes with 10 packs of Memorex DVD cases (from BestBuy/Staples)

    thanks joker for your input. I do have x-pressit it works great for dvd label .I was looking for something for the covers of the dvd case, that is already preset to the size of the case eliminating the need to constantly resetting the sizing

    Here's a great site since daprogger's closed it's doors.

    http://www.hirescovers.com

    You need to sign up (it's free, but could always use donations) if you don't when you download their graphics, their logo will still be there.

    Very happy with them and have been using them since they started.

    Pleased Great-Granny

    Like the person stated if you make a donation you don't get the LOGO.

    No, No, No, you totally mis-understood what I was trying to say. First of all, you do not need to make a donation. This is a FREE site. I personally appreciate all of the work and excellent graphics I have found on this site. Donating is of course a personal choice.

    In order to be able to download any graphics, you need to register, that's all, just register. As a registered user, when you download, their logo does not appear on the graphics.

    First, you register, then choose what graphics you are interested in, the double click to start the process to see if you really like it, then you right click after the entire graphics have completed to save the image.

    Sorry, if I was mis-understood. This site in my opinion, is one of the best if not the best.

    A VERY happy user of this site

    It has a better selection of the newer titles than it does older movies.I always search there site first before looking elsewhere.

    Good luck

    Hi Gwendolin
    Does your cartoon mean you wish to do me bodily harm [LOL] I am jealous that I don't have the know how to do something like that.
