Official DVD Replacement Cover & Case Thread - Part Se7en (merged)

[ENDContra]

So there are several sites that sell replacement alpha and amaray cases. I want to know where I can get replacement snappers. Many ask "Why on Earth would you want to?" My reason is that I have broken spindles in some snapper cases and I dont feel like going through the effort of replacing my snappers with keep cases at this point in time (I am an all or nothing type person, and I dont have the money to print up 50+ high quality covers as well as pay for that many keep cases). Anyone know where I can get these? Thanks.....

inetdvd.com doesn't sell replacement snappers, only keep cases. There is an address posted in this thread where you can return your broken snapper and get it replaced:

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?threadid=67756&referrerid=16858

If you do, I'd be interested in hearing how long it takes to get replaced.

[tygloalex]

Oops, my bad. I'm tired and/or stupid :)

[ENDContra]

I have to return my broken one just to get a new one? How stupid is that? Its not like its an actual DVD and they need proof I bought it...just send me a $.50 snapper...Im smart enough to figure out how to use it.

[Andrea]

Yep, that's what you have to do. I emailed them to confirm the information and this is what they sent:

RE: Damaged Snapper Trays

Got your email / letter in regards to your broken Snapper trays. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

I have no problem replacing the trays for you. I ask that you please send back the broken trays to me at the address below. Upon receipt, I will forward new trays to you.

Please call me at 646-834-1500 should you have any questions or concerns.

I suppose you could call her and complain...

[dgc]

When you send it in do you take off the cardboard cover art and just send the black plastic tray?

[Andrea]

The HTF thread I posted above said to take off the cardboard cover art and send in just the tray. I'll email the lady and confirm that for sure, since she didn't specify one way or the other in her instructions.

Wow, they got right back to me. The answer is yes. Take the cardboard cover art off and send in just the tray.

[Brian McHale]

Considering how many people replace their snappers with keep cases, I would think you could arrange (read: postage) for someone to send you their old ones. Just a thought...

[Commander Dan]

On a semi-related topic, anyone know where I can get a replacement Close Encounters slipcover? I sent Columbia/Tri-star a snail-mail letter requesting a replacement and they basically gave me a “screw you” response (despite having sent a proof-of-purchase tab and even offering to pay for it).

Brian,

I think that's a great idea. Even worthy of starting a thread specifically for that purpose.

BTW, do you have any unused snappers? :D

[JJE-187]

Any cover that is under 150dpi is not really fit for quality printing. So please use you own discretion before printing out any cover!

Feel free to post cover requests and links to other covers in this thread.

Anyone working on a cover for the Simpsons second series?

[ENDContra]

Id like a cover for The X-Files movie that matches the Season sets. I want to keep the movie in the proper space on the shelf with the box sets, and I want it to look like a slim version of those.

[Rypro 525]

what about the original poster art as the cover for t2 judgement day ue

[codefree]

Looking for a cover for the Patch Adams: Ultimate Edition. If anyone has one, please email me it. I'd also accept a scan of the Collector's Edition as it's at least a starting point. ;) I would really appreciate it.

There are 2 different matching covers on dvdcoverart.

[Mountain Biker]

I know I already asked this in the previous thread, but in case it was overlooked, would it be possible for someone to put together a cover for My Bloody Valentine using the original poster art? The new cover isn't the worst Paramount has slapped together, but for nostalgic reasons, I'd much prefer the original miner cover, thanks.

[The Valeyard]

OPERA!

[Rammsteinfan]

Still waiting on a STAR TREk:TMP custom to match the new TWOK and TSFS grey covers....

[Commander Dan]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement Close Encounters slipcover? I sent Columbia/Tri-star a snail-mail letter requesting a replacement and they basically gave me a “screw you” response (despite having sent a proof-of-purchase tab and even offering to pay for it).

[Geoff H]

I suppose this has probably been discussed earlier, but these threads are so huge I figured I'd just ask again:

What do you folks normally do for putting snapper-scans into a keepcase? Do you just simply re-size the snapper-scan to the proper keepcase-insert size and print them up, or do you leave the image size essentially the same, and just chop off the ends to fit in the keepcase?

Thanks!

Most if not all are resized to fit keepcases.

I shall, once I get the Paramount disc, because I want to use some elements from it. I'll likely be doing an untinted April Fool's Day cover as well.

[Cosmic Bus]

I'm still waiting to see if Sebastian is going to e-mail his alternate Gladiator cover (the kneeling pose) to DVDCoverart. If someone already has the full image and would consider sending it to me directly, I'm on AIM under the username "suB cimsoC"

Also, I want to request a cover scan of Bad Seed. The copy I bought tonight is quite wrinkled.

[Professor Frink]

Is there one site that is good for finding scans of inserts? I have some previously viewed DVDs that are missing the inserts, and it really bugs me!

I dont' just resize, I reposition elements so they are positioned better. SImply resizing a snapper scan to the keepcase dimensions doesn't look right in my opinion...because the ratio is different.

I'm not the only one who does this, right? Am I even making sense with my description?

Excellent! :thumbsup: Thanks Disc Flipper.

[Cosmic Bus]

Out of curiosity, what kind of paper do you guys use for printing these covers? I've tried both coated and glossy sheets, with mixed results for both.

The coated paper gets wrinkled because of the heavy ink saturation, and the colors and clarity are nowhere near as good as the glossy. On the other hand, while the glossy gives extrememly nice quality, any area that has very dark colors on it (black and some browns and blues) never seems to dry all the way and remains 'tacky'. This is a problem since the plastic on the DVD case sticks to these spots. :\

[DEC29111]

The first question that I have to ask is what brand of printer are you using? I have a _Lexmark_Z45_ and do not have the troubles that you posted about using the cheap store brand photo paper from _OfficeMax_ and/or _Office_Depot. And I cheat since I don't want to have to purchase legal sized paper, I tape a second plain sheet to the end of the photo paper and the full cover gets printed on the standard sized sheet.

I second this request. For the same reasons.

[Geoff H]

Originally posted by Cosmic Bus

I've just started printing out covers on my Hewlett Packard Deskjet 812c (Canadian version of the 810c). I picked up a package of 200 sheets of HP Premium Inkjet paper. As others have mentioned in this and other posts, I simply tape an extra strip of paper onto one end to make the whole thing 14" long, and choose "Legal Size" paper in my photo program.

I haven't had any problems with the ink causing the paper to wrinkle too badly. It wrinkles a *tiny* bit, perhaps, but once it's in the keepcase, it's not at all noticable.

Moreover, I'm certainly pleased with how the covers look. They are practically indistinguishable from "regular" keepcase inserts.

[atifkhalid]

I for one am really impressed with the quility of Canon s900 Phot printer. This printer is the best printer I've ever owned. Its a bit expensive $350 but I got it for $298 at buy.com with $15 off coupon. No need for attaching extra sheet as the printer prints a full cover on 8.5 x 11 sheet. PERFECT. Color saturation is perfect.

I use HP premium plus glossy Paper. I bought 200 for $35 from ebay seller with excellent feedback and super quick shipping. Ebay ID is "cordless4less". And no its not me. What does everone use to cut the cover Paper cutter, razor. I use a metal ruler with a razor on top of a USPS priorty mail folded box.

And thanks I was able to order the double slim Amaray cases from http://www.usplastic.com . 84 cents is a reasonable rate.

thanks

[T. Bickle]

http://www.usplastic.com has come through in a big way on the double slim amarays. Good price and exceptional service, highly recommended.

I cut my covers the exact same way, except I use an old amazon box :). I wish I had a paper cutter tho, It'd be a lot easier and quicker.

I have one of those radial (think pizza cutter attached to a guide arm) paper cutters. It didn't cost too much and works great.

[DEC29111]

All I can say about paper cutting is... most office supply store paper cutters just don't cut a straight enough line for a case cover!! Un-less you come along and add a color bleed/frame that you can cut off.

Your better off using an Xoknife and metal ruler!!

--David

[atifkhalid]

Exactly that’s how I learned. My paper cutter which cost $40 just could not cut a perfect enough line. It kept leaving some white. Then when I tired to fix it with scissors it made it worse. The metal ruler and razor are perfect. I transformed my entire snapper collection yesterday --- absolutely PERFECT thanks everyone.

Only 2 DVD's left MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME, and Dances With Wolves. Will keep looking.

[C.H.U.D.]

I live in Canada, therefore I am cursed with the dreaded bilingual covers for certain titles.

If someone could post scans of covers of U.S. versions of the follow Paramount genre titles over at www.dvdcoverart.com (http://www.dvdcoverart.com), I would really appreciate it.


April Fool's Day
Graveyard Shift
Silver Bullet

Also on that list is My Bloody Valentine, unless someone is planning on making a custom cover using the original poster art.

Oh yeah, and I could use a scan of the U.S. In The Bedroom cover as well.

Thanks to anyone that helps!

[JJE-187]

C.H.U.D., Disc-Flipper is going to be making a custom My Bloody Valentine cover and maybe (I hope) an untinted April Fools Day cover. He is the same guy who created the custom Friday The 13th covers on dvdcoverart, So you know he will make an amazing cover.

Yes, I plan to do covers of My Bloody Valentine and April Fool's Day. I'll need to wait for my Amazon order to arrive, which should be at least September 10th to Canada.

Sadly, I'll need to update the Friday the 13th 7 & 8 covers with the changed audio specs and lack of trailers on the packaging. I may upgrade the screenshots to DVD quality, since the existing ones are taken from the grainy VHS tapes.

I do not have Graveyard Shift or Silver Bullet on DVDs, so I can't help you there.

My future plans are: matching Poltergeist I, II and III covers, a Child's Play #1 cover that matches the others and Phantasm I-IV covers that align. I may do a series of Amityville Horror movie covers and When A Stranger Calls/When A Stranger Calls Back. How about a series of Psycho covers that all look similar?

[JJE-187]

DF, I would love a new Child's Play cover (a new disc too, but that's another topic) How about a new Pumpkinhead? (if you have it) I don't own any of the others but i'm sure all the fans of those movies would love them.

(P.S.
I love your TCM covers, my set looks great with the TCM III DVD-R I made)

[Abob Teff]

I have a chance to get a used set of the Sopranos Season 2. However, they don't have the original box (they are in individual keep cases). Any thoughts on replacing the box?

[JJE-187]

dvdcoverart has a quad case scan up, you could buy a quad case from inetdvd and print the cover from there and you have a great looking set then.

[BruteUA]

Please tell me that www.dvdcoverart.com is just down temporarily, I just started converting my snappers!

---Pardon my paranoia, it's back up and updated.

[JJE-187]

Yeah it goes down for a while every day it seems like but it always returns

Teen Wolf, please. A small pic of the poster can be found here:

If you want, have a small pic of the original TW2 poster in the lower right corner or somesuch, but make Teen Wolf 1 the prominent, dominant image for the cover. I think those of us who bought the double feature despite TW2 would appreciate it.

Just a note that I sent in a couple of snappers with broken spindles a few weeks ago (to Margaret Higgins) and just received the replacements.

[Andrea]

I've recently gotten some broken snappers replaced. Here's how.

Take the cardboard cover art off the tray and mail your broken snappers (just the black plastic tray) to:

Margaret Higgins
Ivy Hill - WMS
619 West 54th Street
New York, NY 10019

Ask for replacements and include your return address. Call Margaret Higgins at 646-834-1500 should you have any questions or concerns.

Help. I'm almost done converting my snappers and I need the following:

Boogie Nights (The first one that came out...red cover)
Dumb & Dumber

MP Meaning of Life
Nosferatu
The Outsiders
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
T2 (The first bare-bones edition, it is neither of the ones up at dvdcoverart)
Unforgiven (The basic cover that came out before the Clint Eastwood Collection cover)

Thanks...

Does anyone have this disc, and could they scan a copy of cover?
Mine was badly chewed up (don't ask....)

I think you're talking about "The Hire" not "The Driver". If so, The Hire cover is on DVDCoverart

Yes, I know what you mean the front graphic is shifted to the right to make for the snap. I had to reposition the front graphic on Superman and the Clint Eastwood Collections. Most people don't and when they print it and put it in the sleeve the cover looks off-center.
It's tricky to do it right but it makes a huge difference in my opinion.

Yes, I plan to do covers of My Bloody Valentine and April Fool's Day. I'll need to wait for my Amazon order to arrive, which should be at least September 10th to Canada.

Sadly, I'll need to update the Friday the 13th 7 & 8 covers with the changed audio specs and lack of trailers on the packaging. I may upgrade the screenshots to DVD quality, since the existing ones are taken from the grainy VHS tapes.

I do not have Graveyard Shift or Silver Bullet on DVDs, so I can't help you there.

My future plans are: matching Poltergeist I, II and III covers, a Child's Play #1 cover that matches the others and Phantasm I-IV covers that align. I may do a series of Amityville Horror movie covers and When A Stranger Calls/When A Stranger Calls Back. How about a series of Psycho covers that all look similar?
You know about me and my matching covers. The poltergeist and Phantasms would be cool, but I thought not all of them are out on DVD yet?
Actually for the poltergeists I would do one sleeve for a triple DVD case.
I didn't realize you did the Friday covers. Bravo they are good. I was going to do them after I did my first run at Halloween, but after seeing yours I knew I couldn't top them.
My god that DVD cover for Bloody Valentine does blow. Why do companys insist on changing the cover art far from the original poster? Very few are actual improvements. The FOG Se was good and better than the poster but they blew by tinting it green. That's why I "fixed" it.

You could try to quad cases.

[Mountain Biker]

That new blue cover for The Fog is a huge improvement! Nice work darthvong...I still prefer the original poster art (nostalgia), but this cover will do just fine until someone can (hopefully) do a cover using the original...

Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

[Randy810]

R2 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has a great cover. Could I put my request in now for a copy of this cover?

Thanks

Poltergeist II - nice region 2 & 4 DVD available
Poltergeist III - VCD only unfortunately, but those discs can be easily placed into a matching slim dual-alpha case

Phantasm I-III - a UK region 2 box set exists

[JJE-187]

If someone would be willing to do it i have a nice scan of the Fog original poster art, The one with Jamie Lee at the door with the fog and a hand coming after her.

Region 2 gets all the breaks! Isn't that real nice 2-disc Predator DVD region 2 also? Not to mention the cool 2-disc set of Dawn of the Dead. Hmmm, maybe I should invest in a code-free DVD player.

I would like to get a replacement outer case for the Sopranos season 3. Does anybody have the number for HBO home video?
My box came from Sam Goody.com with the bottom corners squished a bit. It is not a big deal and certainly not worth returning the set for another one. The discs are completely clean with no annoying scratches or thumb prints that I sometimes see when I get brand new discs. My luck would be that I would return the set and get back a pristine outer box but the discs would have problems. The discs are more important.

Would anyone happen to have a scan of the English only cover for Black Sheep? I ordered it from DVDSoon, not knowing that I was going to get the version with French and English on the cover.

Hi,

I designed some x-files covers - now set up to be in multiple 2x cases. When the boxes are placed next to each other the spine makes the x-files image, not a good explaination - take a look.

[Psycho2002]

A friend of mine told me that there was a place to buy custom made DVD covers on the internet. Somewhere in Canada? I think.

[SPIDERone]

I think DV-DEPOT.com (Something like that), sells them..

Or you can print your own out (Check dvdcoverart.com)..

Ive printed out a couple, to replace some of my other covers..
an Idle hands (Original movie poster) one, as well as Oceans Eleven (Original movie poster) one.. that I just plain didnt like the R1 covers for..

Oceans Eleven actually had a sweet French Cover out for it..

[Rammsteinfan]

I have printed about 40+ covers from DVDcoverart.com and made some of my own. They come out super sweet on a color laser printer. Some of them you cant even tell they are not the original.

[12thmonkey]

I'm looking for the following DVD cover:

And Now The Screaming Starts


Does anyone have a hi-res scan? I've done the usual searches, btw

[Rammsteinfan]

Anyone know why DVDcoverart is down?!? Just when I wanted to print some more covers... Hopefully Matt isnt have too many technical issues.

[DarthVong]

Chances are his bandwidth has been reached. He's having problems with that. The site's getting too popular, and his web host wants more money for more bandwidth.

[Rammsteinfan]

Maybe he should start a donation program thru Pay Pal or something... I would throw a few bones his way for all the trouble it has saved me! :D

[Disc-Flipper]

Updated Friday the 13th parts 7 & 8 covers are now available, which reflect the specs of the actual releases. dvdcoverart should have them soon. E-mail me if you cannot wait.

I should be done the "My Bloody Valentine" cover this evening and will be doing the "April Fool's Day" one later this week.

[DarthVong]

I'll be doing Near Dark. Damn Foil cardboard box! Also I'm doing a custom for Sleepaway Camp 4. I know it isnt a full film but what the hell, it beat's the plain paper sleeve it came in.
Also I think all of my Halloween revised customs are available at DV-Depot now. They did say they wont post the Halloween Resurrection custom until the DVD comes out.

[ShabbyBlue]

Requesting the following snapper scans:

The Witches of Eastwick
RKO 251
The Right Stuff

[JJE-187]

Hey darth any chance you will be making a custom Near Dark using the original poster/VHS art? And thank you for beginning work on a SC4 cover, hopefully you can make it match up with the other 3 so it will look all pretty on my shelf.

[JJE-187]

Would anyone happen to have Roman Coppola's CQ that they could scan for me? I dropped my case into the dog's water dish and now the covers all warped.

I would as well. I hope the site will be up soon. He's going to have to do something I would think. The site is getting alot of word of mouth. The bandwidth issue is only going to get worse.
Limit the amount of downloads per day or something so that the site doesnt get taken off everytime his allowed bandwidth is reached.
Well if he sets something up for donations I 'll contribute.

[Disc-Flipper]

I'd contribute to the site too, because it's such a great resource.

any help would be great.

The biggest problem I run into with snapper scans is resizing the spine to fit the spine size of the particular keepcase. If the spine has a solid color background it is not a problem to reposition the title & any other items on the spine. But , I tend to run into problems with spines that don't have a solid color background. I use PSP 7 & what I have been doing with the non-solid color background is to simply resize the spine after selecting it out & pasting it into the template. This practice unfortunately leads to some distortions at times. If I try to select out the various elements & then paste them back into a resized spine then the background of the selected out element & the spine don't usually match. Is there a better way to get the spines of snappers that don't have a solid color background resized without distortion of some sort, especially if the size of the keepcase is two DVDs or larger? Did I make any sense with this explanation & question? Any help or suggestions are very welcomed.

It depends on the spine. I usually make the canvas size the dimensions of the keepcase spine and use the rubber stamp / clone tool (I'm not sure what it is called in PSP) to extend the patern to the edges. It gets tricky for me when there is picture on the spine (I'm not talking about the little square picture of the actor) or a complex pattern.

[Dragonslayer]

It is the clone tool in PSP. I'll give that I try & see if I'm satisfied with the results. Any other suggestions are still welcomed.

[Wolfchild]

I hope this isn't out of line, but would someone be willing to email me the X-Files Season 5 that is on DVD Cover Art? I'd appreciate it...please email me at this address:

wolfchild66@netzero.net

But I would then need it sent to a different address. Alternatively, are there any other servers with this same file? I thought I already had this file and when my set arrived realized I didn't.

I'm just scanning my old covers from my VHS collection.

For a few dollars, you can buy an old VHS tape off ebay, scan the cover, and resell it. I've done that a couple of times just to get the desired artwork. But just make sure the cover you're buying has as few scuffs and scratches as possible.

[C.H.U.D.]

Originally posted by Disc-Flipper

Wow, another great job. Thanks again.

Btw, does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on printing out the covers in the proper size? I used the one on dvdcoverart.com before, but that was a couple months ago and I have forgotten how, and now the website is down. :(

[Disc-Flipper]

C.H.U.D., what program are you printing it with?
I could tell you how to print it with Paint Shop Pro. As long as the covers are 3240 x 2175 pixels and 300dpi, you should be able to print at 100% on legal-sized paper landscape mode. Do a print preview to see how it will come out. And don't bother with glossy paper, because the clear plastic of the keepcase will make it look shiney anyways. I use Ultra or Super Bright White 8.5" x 14" legal paper and the colours come out strongly if I set my Ink Jet printer to Photo Quality Ink Jet. Those without legal sized paper can tape a thin strip of paper onto a letter-sized sheet to extend the reach of the printer.

Damn I didn't even think of that! Great idea. BTW I ordered the set of Halloween Customs I did at dv-depot. I got them today and they look great! Those guys do a great job at printing. Of course I could too with a thousand dollar laserjet! But I'll order from them again. Great job!

[johnf14]

Just in case anyone is interested I just discovered that the 8 movies in the 'Stanley Kubrick' 9 disc boxed set fit the master box perfectly when scanned to keepcases. I knew those white Amaray cases would come in handy one day.<center><img src=http://home.earthlink.net/~jkelley11/johnf14/kubrickset.jpg><center> Originally there was a documentary (the ninth disc in the set) but the box didn't match anyway. I even got rid of that annoying Columbia TriStar logo on the Dr. Strangelove case.

I have the proper paper, the same as I used before, so that is no problem.

I am using Paint Shop Pro, so I just need to know the measurements needed to resize it so it prints at the proper size. I can't remember the numbers, something like 7 1/2 by 5 or so.

Thanks!

[Disc-Flipper]

Covers should be 10.8" x 7.25" and 300dpi (3240 x 2175).
Under the Image menu is a Resize command where you should make adjustments to the actual print size.

Matt just replied back to my email. He's having problems with his web-host and is moving the site to a new one as soon as he finds one that meets his needs. He said Definetly the site will return it just may take awhile.
He also said he's going to implement a limit to the amount of downloads so the site doesn't use up all the bandwidth quickly.
So basically we just have to be patient.
