Where to get DVD covers
I want to setup to see the DVD cover when I look at the list of Ripped DVD's in my Video directory. Where can I get just the front cover, not the back? So far all the sites I found have just one scan it's the frant and back. I want just the front.

Also, could some point me to a link that shows how to set this up in Sage?

Thanks
Ron

I use DVD Profiler, but I also scan all my covers as I enter the DVDs so I get super-high-quality pictures.

Heh. Amazon.com... Wikipedia.... IMDB.com (click on the slideshow of photos for the movie, choose from the multitude of covers there, then use "PrintScreen", paste it into a editing program (even as simple as MS Paint), and crop it out, save it as "folder.jpg".....

So far I've got all mine by going to google images, and typing in the name of the film, followed by DVD.
e.g. I Am Legend DVD
Never failed yet

If you use the SageMC add-on you can have a Movie Library within Sage with the SageMC UI and obtain covers from DVD Profiler or IMDB using the 10-ft interface:

and google images will display the image resolution in the search results, which is handy if you are looking for higher res covers.

Movie Poster Awards - Drag and drop
I pull all mine from the Movie Poster Awards site:

http://www.impawards.com/

Search for the title and it then shows all the variations of the movie poster. Just drag and drop from the web page into the file folder. Usually the file name is identical to the movie name, or very close to it.
