  1. I just got this movie from a ex-rental sale at my local video store really cheap however the only problem with it is that the cover is pretty well screwed (i.e it has rips, tears and a nice "Weekly Rental" sticker).

    Anyway back on topic, I've searched places like CDCovers.cc and DVDCoverArt.com but to no avail so I thought I'd try here to see if anyone has the cover (front, back and spine) picture or owns the movie on DVD and could scan it in?

    Cheers.

    I'm not sure if this is the right movie or not, but take a look at this webpage:
    http://www.dvdlister.com/title.dvd/bfea2Ybf4d8r234d65T/
    On the left side of the page where the thumbnail is for the cover is a link for larger images of the front and back of this DVD.
    Click on the links "view front cover" and "view back cover".
    If that is the wrong movie, sorry...

  3. Thanks Roundabout!

    Thats the movie I was after. Now does anyone know what size I should make the spine so that when it prints it will be the right size?

    Cheers.

    Hmm, a little tricky. I measured a standard DVD insert, which is 10.75 in. wide (27cm) and 7.25 in. high (18.5 cm). Because the spine is slightly curved, not totally flat, I measured around .5 in. (~1.3 cm) of the total width as the spine.
    Since those images on that website don't include the spine with title, what are you planning to do with that?
    Can you scan and crop the spine information from the original copy you have and paste it all together in photoshop and print it?

  5. What I was plannning on doing was enlarging the front/back images so that they have the same measurements as a normal DVD insert. Then bring the two together in photoshop leaving space for the spine which I was going to create myself.

    Sounds like that'll work then, although my measurements aren't exact, it should fit without problem into the case. You could even crop the title off the front and shrink/rearrange it to fit in the spine area. So you would make the spine somewhere around 1.3 cm. W X 18.5 cm. H, and then just paste it all together.
    Good luck, hope it looks good!

    Wow!
    Great job
    ...remind me to call you next time I need a customized DVD cover!
    Glad I was able to find what you needed, I wasn't sure at first because I'd never heard of this film. Since "cdcovers.cc" pulled the CD covers off their site, it's gone downhill a lot and I rarely use it anymore.
    Now it's just a matter of hunt and hope. Maybe someone will put up a "definitive" CD/DVD cover site someday.

    Later...

  9. Thanks.

    I agree that a more definitive place for covers needs to be established. I like the concept behind DVDCoverArt.com with their high quality artwork but the credit system they use is a turn off.
