Well, that is what a long Ottawa-DC-Philly-Ottawa roadie will do to you.

Alright so I was going to attempt my first DVD cover....but am a little confused about the dimensions. Most of my DVD's I store in regular 4.75" jewel cases so that was the size I had intended to make. However looking at Jamie's covers as well as some others, it seems to me that the standard is really a DVD case size?

If that is the case, someone know the dimensions off by heart? (I don't really want to have to measure one!!)

Perhaps the size of a DVD case is what you wanted to ask on the phone earlier: 10.75" x 7.187" + bleeds, is the size I set the page to in Quark.

not sure if anyone uses it, but coverXP is a GREAT freeware program for printing dvd covers to proper size.. that way if you d/l some from others and they're off a bit, it's okay.. it first the picture in perfectly.. I really wish that I knew if you could transform the Nero Cover Program files into .jpgs or something because it's pretty easy to create nice looking covers there... unfortunately the size seems to be a few mm off (or at least to my liking)..

I'll try to post some pictures of them with a camera when I have a few more done.. anyone know how to post a picture here?
