DVD Covers

[magic2584]

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows of good websites to get DVD covers for all of the shows that are going around. I've tried searching in the forums, but can't seem to find them.

Thanks

I used to put covers on my DVD's but I have found that I have trouble doing trades or B & P's when trying to extract the data from the DVD. I would suggest just making DVD box covers but no actually DVD covers.

Yah, I meant dvd box covers.

I'm not attempting to sound smart, but how could a DVD Cover keep you from properly ripping a DVD? Seems the worst a cover could do would be to make the disc spin funny, but I doubt that would really happen.

Okay, first let's clarify - a cover is "cover art" and goes on a jewel case of a DVD. A label goes directly on the DVD itself.

Paper-based labels can cause significant problems in both players and burners. Inside a DVD drive, as the DVD spins up and as the various components of the drive begin to work, the enclosure can get very hot. This can cause bubbles to form underneath the label, even if appears to have been pressed down solidly. These bubbles can cause the label to lift up off the DVD and catch on a component inside the drive. Both drives and DVD media can be broken in this manner. This is assuming that the label was pressed down perfectly, which is almost never the case, which leads to even more problems. Typically, car CD players have more problems with this than DVD drives because of the heat from the sun, but the problem still exists.

There are also problems if using unusually heavy paper stock with the label. This can cause unbalanced spinning within the drive, and thus result in errored reads and burns.

IM not quite sure how that works. But, I had created a thread in here called "cyclic redundancy error" and I did a search on the web for it. What I found was that several people had claimed that once they had taken or washed their covers off the discs were able to copy to their hard drives. I have never experienced but only from hearsay.

Just to clarify, i'm looking for sites where I can download various DVD cover artwork for DVD cases.

The site I pointed you to is for that. It has a lot of the older artwork that was on Sharing the Groove before it went down....may it R.I.P.
