Creating a DVD Jewel Case Insert

To create the insert for the DVD case, I used cdlabelgen. This makes labels for CD jewel cases and a newer version will make inserts for the larger DVD cases if you use those instead. To make a label, grab a still from the video first. In Kino, use the Export tab on the right and select the Stills tab. Select Current as the export range (or by default, you’ll get one picture per frame). Enter in something like dvd-cover.png as the file name and select Export. Convert the image to encapsulated postscript with convert dvd-cover.png dvd-cover.eps. Convert is part of ImageMagick. Then enter cdlabelgen -e dvd-cover.eps -S 0.0 -m -o dvd-label.ps. Then lp dvd-label.ps to print.
