| Posted: | | | | I was wondering how big of a difference there is between the free and premium version when it comes to cover quality. What resolution are the "high resolution" covers? Thanks! |

| Posted: | | | | If I remember rightly, the maximum size of a high-resolution cover scan is 500x700. |

| Posted: | | | | Following on that, the low-res covers are something like 150x200. So you can expect something along the lines of slightly better than a 3X improvement in the hi-res scans. |

| Posted: | | | | It is often amazing what can be done with 500x700. I use scans double that size locally but am often very impressed (to the point i don't bother trying to submit an update) with the existing scans. That plus the ability to track more than 50 discs is worth the US$29.95. It provides an outlet for my latent obsessive compulsive tendencies. | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

It provides an outlet for my latent obsessive compulsive tendencies. I was about to say something along those lines. The pro scans are more of an improvment than the numbers would suggest they would be, and everything else is addictive (including the forums). Does anyone still a collection of 50 or under? |

Unless my math is off, it's more like a 12x improvement, if you believe number of pixels is a good measure of quality. Which it is. |

| Posted: | | | | And because the amount of pixels is almost 12 times more, a scan can also have that same amount more colors. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| Posted: | | | | I'm anal about my covers. I go through a ritual of two main steps whenever I purchase another batch of movies.
1. Add to DVDP 2. Inspect the cover quality.
If the cover quality isn't up to par (and my par is high), I rescan the cover and optimize it for submission.
However, I'm finding more and more often that I don't need to rescan anything. I added 20+ movies to my collection and only two were deemed needing rescan. |
