Yep. lostinva wrote: I don't understand why, it really could be accepted either way provided there is not some other reason (such as it didn't have the barcode). It did have the barcode. No other issues. It was the title 'L'altra metà dell'amore', with barcode '8032442209200' for country 'Italy', declined on Jan 21. Should I resubmit it and try get it accepted this time? lostinva wrote: But as the guide states the inner cover is preferable because the slip covers are often first-run only. If the slip cover has different art than the normal cover, then it will turn out that the downloaded cover art it will not match what most users will expect to see. Makes sense to me.

Hi
I am completely confussed. What is the point is posting this:-
"If you are submitting new cover art for disks you own, only submit it with the following specs:
1. Scan the actual boxes with the bar code on the back, not outside slip covers for individual titles
Example- Lion King, Alice in Wonderland and other Disney movies often have a slip cover on the outside. Do not scan this, as it is often optional and later copies of the release do not have it on the disk cover when you buy it in the store.
2. Scan it to a .tiff file. This file format does not compress the image at all, so when you upload, you will have the highest possible source image for the web service conversion.
3. Scan it at 600dpi with a bit depth of 24 for color. DO NOT use the interpolated settings- you must use a scanner that has an optical resolution of at least 600dpi. Nearly all scanners have this. And scan at the full 24 bit color setting on your scanner.
4. Scan at a resolution of 2995 x 4312 pixels. This size file is quite large, but the quality is worth it. IF you need to adjust the image in photoshop, that is fine. If you need to trim off a very slight amount of edge to make for a cleaner cover art, that is fine as well. Because this is a large image, when it is uploaded and made in to a jpg, the highest possible quality will still come through."
If you are not going to abide by these rules. People here are talking about scanning at 150dpi, 300dpi etc when it clearly states that you should scan at 600dpi etc.
Also when you attempt to import a full back cover at 600dpi saved as a TIFF my movies doesn't recognise it as a full back cover and does not split it between front and back it just loads the entire sleve into the front cover preview.
I would like to make sure that the information I try to contribute is acurate as I would like to make sure I get maximum contribution points and also make sure that other people don't end up with bad records in My Movies.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Regards
Yogiman!
