    I have been using cdcovers.cc to download my dvd backup covers. Does anyone know of another good site for this, as they don't have all of them? Also, i just been opening the jpeg's in Word and resizing, is there a program that would make this easier? Thanks in advance

    Just one more! I'm having trouble backing up dvd's that are a bit damaged with scratches, is there a good method of cleaning them at all? i used water and a soft cloth but still decrypter fails to rip it!

    Thanks

    alangrw,

    Radio Shack sells a repair kit for Discs that can be salvaged - hard scratches can't be salvaged -

    To clean DVD Discs, use a few drops of alcohol and a soft cotton cloth, rub firmly from the center out -

    For those that can be salvaged, backup immediately -



    Additional pictures of films can be had at -

    NOT VODKA you fool, that's for drinking ! Besides it leaves a film - rubbing alcohol at the chemists -

    Buy the kit at Tandy's - U.K.'s Radio Shack, same company :D

    For minor scratches

    Borax toothpaste, soft cloth, rub from the center straight out to the edge -

    You can also use Pledge - :)

    Vodka - hahaha - it'll be all stick after that. Just buy the DVD/CD repair kit for £40, it works a gem.

    In the states we have a item called the GAME DR. I own on and it works grand! Sometimes you have to do the same disk a couple tims or so for a bad scratch. Oh yea spend the extra cash and buy the electric one after a few rounds of the manual one you will thank me.

    viper6699,

    I've never done it but, I've read that Pledge, sprayed on a cloth and then rubbed on a disc, from the center straight out toward the edge - can help -

    Me, I'd rather stick with the toothpaste with added Borax

    :p

    Hi Alangrw, I just noticed your post. I use a software called DVD Cover Print for printing my dvd covers. Its quick and easy to use. However, you can not edit the cover using this software. You have to open Photoshop or Microsoft Photo Editor etc to alter the picture and then open the edited cover in DVD Cover Print to print it out. There is a free 30 day trail and its 10 bucks after the 30 day trial is over. Here is the site where you download the software http://www.hotlib.com
