I guess I do things the simple way. I either DL a cover from a site. open a
legal size pg in Corel. Paste the image and print it out to a high qual
ultrabright inkjet pg. If its one where Im makeing my own I have a template
I made by takeing a scan pasting it and setting guidelines to its edges that
I use. Either way you then have to trim it of course.

I just bought mine at the local Best Buy (big electronics chain). Forget
how much I paid. Would be in USD anyway. Probably not much use to you.

For what it's worth, the brand I bought was HP Everyday Semi-Gloss Photo
Paper. 165 gsm.

I use an ink jet borderless printer - the 10.8" width for a standard DVD
keepcase prints very nicely on photo quality 8.5 x 11 paper. I have yet to
find a source for legal size (8.5 x 14) photo quality paper.

I have done some business with this seller and everything was first class.

I do it a little simpler and cheaper. DVD cases are a heck of a lot more
expensive than CD cases. I simply use CD cases and take a still of a pertinent
part of the Video and print to a 4.8X4.8 inch size. Can print two on 8.5X11
inch paper. Storing the DVDs from my Panasonic DMR-HS2 is then easier also
because I can store quite a bit more of the CD (DVD) cases in the space used by
a normal DVD case. For copies of a DVD (cable) movie for relatives or friends I
go cheaper still by using the thin CD cases that you can get at Sam’s (100
for about $11).
