Advice sought- DVD cover printing software

Movie copy software Discuss, Advice sought- DVD cover printing software at Software forum; A smidgen off-topic, but I assume this is where those of us who back-up DVDs and would be in need of such software would be. So, does anyone have positive or negative experiences with software specifically designed to print DVD covers? I've found general image printing progs to be hit

A smidgen off-topic, but I assume this is where those of us who back-up DVDs and would be in need of such software would be.

So, does anyone have positive or negative experiences with software specifically designed to print DVD covers? I've found general image printing progs to be hit or miss about precisely scaling the .jpgs on cdcovers.cc to the needed size (10.75 x 7.25 in).

Thanks all.

i've printed a few cd/dvd disc labels before with Acoustica CD Label Maker, and i seem to remember that they have dvd cover label templates as well. the disc label printouts were right on the money (unlike other programs, which were usually off-center and/or improperly sized) so i'm guessing the dvd cover printouts would be at least acceptable.

Try UndercoverXP. It's a free program that will print cd,dvd, playstation, etc.

CoverXP works perfectly with the images from cdcovers.cc. Once you setup the template, it is as easy as point, click, and print. I use it all the time.

I would have to agree with dewd2, CoverXP rocks totally, is a great program to use. It does help however if you have a printer that will allow you to do borderless printing to make the jackets. My canon I950 does a great job of making my jackets. Full page in under a minute Glad I bought that paper cutter at Staples haha.

Thanks for the ideas, but now there's a new wrinkle.

The office recently bought a kickass $10k color laser with all the trimmings. But administrative access in all our PCs is restricted, so installing programs is a no-no. Anyone know of a standalone prog that doesn't need to be installed, or better yet, some way to guarantee the final print size using photoshop or somesuch?

Thanks again.

Print at home to a PDF and then print the PDF at work.

One would never think, but it is an important question! I am getting tired of resizing and etc. all the images when printing the covers. It's a great idea. I will try the software that is mentioned.

Well, a lil bit different topic... Sometimes I find covers from cdcovers.cc are not of the best quality (low resolution). I found a site where the covers are of extremely good quality, but it's in a rare language.

i used to use coverxp, but got tired of cutting/trimming the cover out. so, now i use dvd cover inserts that are perforated from meritline. they also have a free program to download called ez label express which is compatible for the inserts.

I downloaded CoverXP. I was not impressed at the beginning, but later I found out the positive sides of the software. I will use it. Very simple and great software. Thanx for the idea.

I use various perforated covers as well. With Coverxp, you can setup the template once and it will print to the size of the sheet you use.

I agree with AZImmortal, my favorite is Acoustica CD Label Maker, it has the option for DVD covers. Simply get your jpg download from cdcovers.cc and insert it into the template, makes perfect covers, I use glossy photo paper and then using a xacto knife and 12 " metal ruler. I just make 4 cuts where the inks ends, always a perfect rectangle is printed. I lay the photo paper on top of a newspaper to preserve the shrapness of my blade. You can even lighten and darken the image very easily.
Bottom line, it's a very simple and efficient program.

When printing on the cd disc with a canon ip 4300 printer, how do you resize the inner circle to be smaller than -10.00mm?
