    I was looking for a good site that provides high quality movie DVD covers for print. Can someone recommend one?

    I checked out freecovers.net which seemed pretty good but charges $10 for a years membership.

    I had also heard that dvdcoverart.com provides them for $.10 each which is a better deal for the number of covers I would be printing each year. But when I go there, it only provides links to other sites.

    If someone has done this before, could you give me your opinions on the sites you use? Thanks

    Here's my main site:

    http://www.customcdlabels.com/

    This 2nd link used to be my #1 site,but no movie covers have been added since late november:

    http://covers.box.sk/.

    There's also no search function there. What gives? It used to be awesome,no basically useless unless you're looking for some older flicks.

    Ok through all those sites I've been able to find everything I need.

    Now I can't get them to print properly. They print across 4 pages for some reason.

    What programs does everyone use to print them from? Any specific print settings? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    What program do you use to print? I use PhotoShop with a print size of 10 3/4" X 7 1/4". Pretty much any printing program should do it.

    UnderCover XP is a Good Program for printing covers ! I believe that Nero has a Printing program as well!, Roxio has or had a Label creator Program which also works fairly well ! I Use Undercover XP version 1.09 and like it very much & it's mainly what I use . I think that it's an older version of the program but you may still be able to find it if you look around the internet ? Good luck & happy Printing!!!!Ciao!!!

    I don't have photoshop...is there any program that I could download for free or something pre-installed on most computers that my notebook might have?

    Oh by the way, I'm looking for a program that I can use to print the DVD covers, not disc covers. I have Cyberlink DVD suite on my notebook but it only prints music CD covers, not DVD sizes.

    4pages? Are these disc labels or the outer case/jacket covers?

    If disc covers,how you doing it now?

    Go to any of those sites,Download label: Select your label,right click "save picture as" and send it to your labels folder. This works for both jacket and disc covers,in case you were downloading them different. Some of the disc covers may need stretched to fit the disc.

    For the jacket covers, I use regular glossy 8.5" x 11" photo paper. Then I use windows photo wizard-which was standard on my pc-also called windows picture/fax viewer.. I locate the pic,rightclick and print:set the correct paper/size 8.5 x 11. When all those settings look ok, then set it for Full face Fax Print-centered to fit and print. Don't set it to crop.

    Then it should easily fit your sheet of 8.5 x 11 photopaper,and trim off the white edges and should fit perfectly in a standard vinyl dvd case-just like the originals.

    Disc covers: I use epson Printcd and run the inkjet printable backup through it. Pretty much,whatever you can fit onto the template of a blank disc,is all that will print on a disc.
