It also works with 720p/30...and yes, the results are stunning. Ray 

Santa was very good this year by dropping off two XDCAM EX cameras at my door along with a bunch of express cards. No more toy shopping for a while. Sounds like everyone enjoyed the holidays.   Ray 

AndyBrowne:I agree with dmfreeman... SureThing labeler is great.  Tons of templates plus you can import your own stuff as well.  From just one UI screen, you can design your disk and your insert.  I longer make labels for DVDs.  Instead, I print directly to disk on my Epson R300 printer.  If you get SureThing, opt for the extended version and get ...

I have found that for what we do, there's not too much difference between CS2 and CS3. I can design my stuff in either one. You can probably pick up a copy of Photoshop for a couple of hundred bucks. It's definitely a must have and should be in every videographer's toolbox. There are no templates built into the program (that I know of), but you ...

I actually learn a great deal from seeing how others design these...   Allen,  Why does it feel like you and me are the only ones that ever post stuff on this thread? Geez Louise, doesn't anyone else design DVD covers? Come on ladies, get your stuff up here! Don't be shy... Ray 

RWP:...Out of curiosity, do you print that with an inkjet or send to a printer? What paper weight and surface,,, You might want to check out www.meritline.com and look into the Matte Heavyweight DVD inserts. They look awesome and come with guides that you can cut, so the inserts will fit perfectly into the case. You might find that in the ...

Here's some frame grabs from my first wedding shoot with the XDCAM EX. This camera is a beast!  www.xdcamex.blogspot.com
