Sorry to be a bore, but does anyone know of any links? I've not been very lucky searching so far, I'm mostly interested in replacing the horrible current blue covers, with the proper artwork from the original posters.



Any help would be great, thanks for your time.

Here's some nice ones, using the original poster arts, unfortunatly there's none for DAD and CR. Plus these are for the old SE's. Don't know if there's any updated ones for the UEs or any for CR and DAD yet.

Yeah, I wonder if we'll ever see any new ones on that site.

One more site to check out is CDCovers. They have tons of covers from DVDs all over the world. Pretty cool if you like to see the artwork from the various releases in different countries.

I'm unable to print them off, I have the covers saved to my computer, however I lack a printer, plus none of my friends are able to fulfill my request. I am wondering if someone could do it for me? Now I understand that it costs money to print, as well as time. So I have no problem with paying someone, though I would imagine that could get us (this forum) into trouble with the EON legal team, due to the copyright on the art work.


If that is the case, would it be possible to perhaps swap something? like a couple of ultimate edition Dvd's, or I could make a donation to the website? Please understand I want to avoid anything that can get this website into trouble, so if there is an alternative, please mention it (rather than locking the thread).


You can see I'm desperate for these covers. Thanks for your time, sorry if I've upset anyone with posting this.

Shaun Forever,
Save the images on a jump drive and take it to Office Depot. They have printing capabilities equal to or better than Kinkos, and they're cheaper. Have them use Photoshop to print them. As for the settings, do a search here and you'll find a post I made a few years ago with more detailed instructions for print settings and such.

And for those of you looking for DAD and CR in the Zinema style, check out this thread: http://forum.dvdtalk...ad.php?t=490418

On a similar topic, does anyone know where I can find, or has anybody even seen, an Ultimate Edition style cover for NSNA?

The files are zipped so they won't open in your browser. Right click & select "Save link as..." to save them to your hard drive. Then, use WinZip or something similar to unzip them & enjoy the pictures.

for my custom dvd covers i print them off at the ups store i work at. they have turned out pretty good looking. i wish there was a good custom cover for casino royale that matched the ultimate edition covers.

these zinema style covers are really good though so i might just use them for all of the films even though the features listed wont be right.

Yeah, the Zinema covers are great, aren't they! I had them on my SE for years, so I'm with you on looking for a UE cover for Casino Royale. But I want the Region 2 UE covers with Region 1 information so I can put the DVDs in regular-sized cases. To do so, I was thinking about downloading the scanned UE Region 2 covers (with the wider spines) and replacing the rear images with scanned copies of mine. Just a thought.

I don't suppose anyone has a complete set of custom DVD covers updated for the ultimate editions?
