Sorry tried to remove my post as I found the answer 10 sec after I'd posted.

Thanks anyway.

I don't understand the big deal about it. I don't own a scanner, I have to do with what I have so too bad if the submission I make is not an actual scan. I tried to be patient on some releases to never see anyone making scan of it. But after waiting more than a year, I am not patient anymore so I send submission with all I can have. If it makes you mad, so be it, I really don't see the point if you actually don't OWN the DVD. If you do, just reject the submission a make one better. I am sick of watching my on-line list not having pictures because no one takes the time to submit it. At least, I try to improve it.

What I do is take the cover scan from another entry and copy it to my new entry. I also try to avoid watermarks or different sizes too. As I understand the integrity of the database has to be respected. What I don't understand is receiving, excuse my language, s**t from another user because there is no french on the cover as on the real cover. For me, it is not a big deal, for best someone will add a scan someday and everything will be fine, but in the meantime is it possible that it is best to have some kind of a cover. I don't do it to be lazy, I do it to help as best as I can since I have time and others perhaps don't. But frankly, I am through receiving stupid PMs or comments for something this futile. I thought I was helping but somehow I feel like a nuisance so I am done contributing. And I know it is weak to want to have a picture in the online database, I too know how to find google, but if the feature is there, why not try to use it. Anyway, I never wanted my contribution to touch sensible person's feelings so that is it for me.

Before submitting new scans of cover art, make sure your new covers are of significantly higher quality than the existing online images, and meet the following criteria:

    * The covers must match the profile exactly, including the UPC and locality.
    * Image size must be at least as large as the existing online covers. If you don't have a premium registration, you will be unable to verify this. Therefore, submit only images you have personally scanned at 100 DPI or higher.
    * If you scan images for your personal database at a quality that are higher than 100 DPI, you may still submit them. If accepted, they will automatically be downsized for inclusion in the main database.
    * Image quality must be at least on par with the existing online covers. Covers that are larger than existing images but are of inferior clarity will not be accepted.
    * Images must not contain extra watermarks, autographs, or site links.
    * Images must be of the front and back only. Do not include the spine in either the front or back image.
    * Make sure neither front nor back is of lesser quality than the existing scans.
    * If a DVD is packaged in a keep case, within a slipcase of some kind, scan the Cover Images from the outer slipcase. If, however, the Slipcase is reflective, and the inner cover art is identical, use the Keep Case art to scan, as it will give a better quality image.
    * If a title is re-released with the same UPC, but different cover images do not contribute the new images. This includes cases where a DVD was initially released in a slipcase, which was later removed. As explained in the introduction you may use your personal images in your local database, but they will not show online.
    * Do not contribute generic "Coming Soon" images. If the back image is not yet available (as in a pre-release), use the front images in both places.
    * HD DVD and Blu-Ray discs in either HD Slim or HD Keep Case type cases without slip covers should be scanned without the HD banner.
