what about a cover section of horror movie covers? it would have been nice to have covers of the movies, for download. i guess monkeysmasher has a lot and bobble also. all they need is a scanner and photoshop and the covers should be ready :)

i guess others in the forum also have some covers of horror movies they would share....

this is just an idea and sounds bloody good to me....if this would be done it would be cool.

scan the covers in dvd case hight and witdh, we could make them fit in a cd case our self or just put them in a dvd case ;) it feels and looks like the orginal, hehe....

I take it were talking main page?

I like the idea, but it means that the size of the site will increase a fairbit and the bandwidth usage will shoot up. I'll look into it ;)

i can fix the pic in the rigth sizes and pack' em, i have done this things alot, if ppl dont know how do work in photoshop with these things i can do it. the pic can be send thru mirc to me when ppl have scanned them....
and when the pic are ready i can upload them with a ftp....

...i need a sample to work on so we can get the size of the file, then we can see what we are up against.

maybe u should look into another free host for the pic's, we only need a place for the pic's to download them and one html side for some very smal pic's so u can get a hint on how the cover looks like or maybe we dont need that at all. what about a txt site from hhah that links to the files to the host, this is nice also.....

what u think spud?

lycos allows remote linking, i could register another few accounts here. Got some work todo over the next week, but when i've got some spare time I'll update.

I could also try get another host.sk account, which gives 50mb of space.

is this an eccentric idea?

eh,
i got hundreds of megabytes of cover images and movie posters. havent sorted them all, nor named the images thier movie name. they are just sitting in my hardrive now.

and has imdb now only using those small resolution images? they kind of suck.


my scanner never works right, so cant scan covers. I dont have too many of the original covers anyway.i do got some links to movie poster sites with images.

eh,
i also have an autorun progs for my cd movies. like a little dvd menu, has the movie poster/cover, synopsis, codec, etc. i think i got a few hundred done on cd's already, they would have the cover image in em.


and extreme movie manager saves thumbnail size pics from web lookups. I got tons of low res cover pics, and they get autonamed by ex movie manager. I can just rar my whole cover dir, and send it to whoever.

though the two dir i got movie pics are
183 MB (192,479,232 bytes)
and
215 MB (226,394,112 bytes)

i've used quite a few different ones. cdmenu works ok, menumaker cd, ulead things.


its usually just like a splashscreen with a few options in it, loaded from the autorun.inf, use the output from my modded extreme movie manager for the video stats, cover pics, etc

you dont need to scan the covers in the right size... just make em really hi-res.

most dvd covers are available on http://www.cdcovers.cc and their database is absolutely massive... BUT some of the rarer ones aint there... been trying to get a cover for guinea pig 2 for ages!

How about seeing if snuggles will let you use his cover scan database. I'm not certain if its public or only for members at THC. I'll ask em if you want. but I know theres a link to it from the horror database.
