Hi, I'm new and i want to help out by uploading the covers from some of my collection but just to make sure I'm doing it right can you look at this and see if this is good enough to upload any and all comments are appreciated in advance, thanks  ;D

PS: I couldn't find a obvious guide of things that the covers should have when uploaded, such as dimensions, does it matter or can it be any size?

Welcome to the site :)

If you check in the "Guides' section, and look in 'Case Dimensions' a standard DVD cover should be:  10.75"  X  7.1875"

An easy way to do this is make sure you scan your cover @ 300dpi, use editing software (i.e. photoshop) to clean up any mess on the cover (sticker residue, etc) then crop and edit the size to 3226L x 2156H pixels.
Then Upload.

I coluld not determine what resolution you scanned your cover at, Ifranview did not show how many dpi (it was blank).

Hope this helps,

Again, welcome!

When it's blank, it means it's 72dpi.  And that's probably because googlepages lowers the resolution automatically.  Just make sure it's 300dpi before you upload it here.
