well... the point i wanna make here is:

that when i download a cover from the site, ore anywhere else... in 99% of the cases the audio-langages, subtitles e.g. doest match with the dvd i wanna cover. Editing the cover, is an option, but mostly it will ruin the great coverdesign.

Isnt it an option to leave then blanco? I dont know, but what is the reason they are already filled in?

NO OFFENSE... just my opinion.

It's a quality control issue. Responsiblity lies squarely with the individual artist. Personally, I make it a point to have technically accurate specs/logos. I'm a jerk about it, ask dweez. My advice is to pm your favorite artist and ask nicely if he/she would either send you cover with no billing block (which would be easier on them) or if they would fix the cover. Then pray.

Yes, Irrob you are anal about your specs

I think what you'll find boemba is that all of the really good cover artists out there are anal about that stuff, and wouldn't be willing to leave it blank to please a few. Also, those same artists are pretty unlikely to be filling every change request they receive.

I'm with irrob on the accurate specs issue, nothing worse than a nice cover or label being ruined by stupid errors that come from a lack of paying attention and spending a few minutes at imdb.
And how many times am I going to see people use a popular label template that has "universal" but missing the 'S'.

the main problem is which version your designing a cover for? the subs and languages are different on region1 to region2, making a region free cover is even harder as you have to encompass all regions,also if there has been a few releases on the film,one version might include dts or 5.1,and have different extras.
im with irrob on pm'ing the artist and asking for a cover with the info to suit you,or a blank one.

just my 2 cents, but why bother with all those ugly boxes when you have the movie and it's in the menu, those ugly things are a marketing tool, to help sell a DVD. Personnally I don't think they belong on a custom. But even I find myself usin them now, rather than be blasted for not. But that's gonna change. I simply hate them, and don't need to market what I own.

Apples And Oranges.
Whether you like logos or not is a perpetually pointless debate not worth rehashing.

I try to make the specs on mine technically correct. Sometimes though i don't know which edition of a movie to take the specs from.
