I don't understand the template for film covers, I've been wanting to make more film covers, and I know that I made Tron Legacy a long time ago. I'm mainly confused with the logos. For instance, if I wanted to make a Green Latern cover on Blu-ray, how would I know what legal information to write down?

When I download a template from this website, it's filled with all of these specifications that confuse me. How do I know whether to put that the move contains two different languages, or that it runs in widescreen but also in 4:3. There's so many small little logos and boxes for the legal information, that I am overwhelmed by them, but most importantly I want to make sure that they are correct.

Firstly i tend to look up the movie on www.dvdempire.com, there it shows a scan of the original. From that you can see which template you need to choose ;) I usually download a copy of that to keep while i work on a cover ;) it will give you a rough indication of what logo's you will need and where to place everything, aswell as all the little details such as aspect ratio, bla bla and so on :) How about trying it as a WIP again and let us jump in where needed? That way you may get the hang of it while also getting valuable input form others :D

:iamwithstupid: DVDEmpire is a great source to get much needed info for a DVD/Blu-ray. Just keep at it and if you need help don't be afraid to just post a WIP and ask :)
