Help, I have a Top Gear dvd bought from a junk fair but it has no front and back photos. Does anybody know if I can export the cover scans from Invelos and print them out to a decent resolution?
Note This is NOT a piracy job as the dvd is cosher!
Thanks

They are in the images folder, search it with the UPC.  But IMO they aren't high enough resolution to get a quality cover.  But it might be better than nothing.

Also need to note that you will get no spine this way.

Problem will be the decent resolution.

If downloaded from the Invelos maindatabase coverscans will have a maximum size of 700*500 pixel with a resolution of 96 dpi. While this suffices for a decent display on a computer-screen it is nowhere good enough for a print.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

You can also make a custom cover... or one may have already been created.  There are a ton of different custom cover sites out there.

A random search:

Top Gear DVD Picture

For better results it may be helpful to add the number and the minimum resolution.

Thanks for the replies guys. The dvd in question is Clarkson Supercar Showdown. Invelos recognises this with EAN 5014138602284 when inserted in my drive. I will check for front and back scans online and make a "spline".

The images for that EAN are in the Invelos database. Can't you download them, if nothing else?

BTW: a very old program you can use to create a DVD-size cover including a spine is CoverXP - which, as the name indicates, was developed for Windows XP.
