| | Posted: | | | | Can someone remind me about how the resizing on submission works for DVDs vs Blu-rays? Is there a "perfect" crop size for each, such that if we submit that size, there's no work to do on the receiving end.
It looks like one of two dimensions might be fixed and the other allowed to float a bit
Random measurements from the image database:
For some Blu-Rays ...
500x576
500x581
500x584
And some DVDs
495x700
495x700
495x700
495x700
489x700
496x700
Thanks in advance for helping me get the aspect ratio right. |

| | Posted: | | | | All images are based on 500x700 and whichever ones reaches the limit first. Blu-rays, at least so far, will never reach 700 because they are not as high...they will always be 500x??? (??? being something shorter than 700). Invelos always keeps the size proportional within the 500x700 limitation.
That's my take for what its worth. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

Is there a "perfect" crop size for each... As mreeder50 said: maximum width: 500px maximum height: 700px maximum size: 200.000 Byte (not 200kByte!) So if you resize the cover look which number is reached fist. As you observed the BD in all likelyhood reach the width-limit whereas the DVD tend to go to the height. Ratio should simply be the original or as close to it as technically possible. And be sure to follow those size to the pixel! I recently submitted a four-hundred -something by 701px DVD cover by accident. It got resized automatically in the contribution-process and looked awful afterwards. After I simply cut away the 1 pixel and resubmitted it came back as nice as it should. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki | | | | Last edited: by Mithi |

| | Posted: | | | | Is it better to resize the image yourself? Lately, I've been resizing to 800px width and letting DVDProfiler do the rest of the work upon contribution. Even when I submitted 500px width images, I would notice some added compression artifacts in the images on the contribution page so I assumed it was doing something to the image anyway. | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

| | Posted: | | | | Me personally, I scan at 600dpi, 24 bit depth, do any touch-up needed, reduce to 300dpi and save for possible future additional clean-up. Leave them at 300dpi, reduce them to 500x700px and contribute. I have found that this will give a nice clean image for the online. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |
