Download DVD cover art

Do you want to find any DVD cover art? It can be easily solved with help of All My Movies software.

This short article describes how you can look for the DVD cover images and download them instantly.

All My Movies supports DVD cover art download from the several internet movie databases. It makes a query to these databases by the movie title, parses the result, finds the dvd cover url, downloads it and attaches to your movie collection. You are also able to save the dvd case cover to the regular image file.

Download a cover in one keystroke

Select the movie and press F2 (menu item "Movie - Download Cover"). All My Movies asks TheMovieDB for a large poster and, if it has nothing better, fanart.tv. Posters in the language of your interface come first, so a Spanish or German user gets the local release artwork where it exists. You get the cover instantly, or pick the one you like from the variants found.

The same happens when you click the empty cover placeholder in the movie details.

Choose the database yourself

If you want more control, open the movie card (double-click the title or press CTRL-E). The globe button next to the "Original title" field looks the movie up online, and the small arrow beside it chooses the database: TheMovieDB, Kinopoisk, TheTVDB for TV series, MovieMeter or Filmweb. The cover comes together with the cast, plot and the rest of the details.

Have the box in your hands? Press F11 to take the cover from a scanner, or use "Movie - Add Cover..." (CTRL-R) to attach any image file you already have.

Found a better cover on the web? Just paste it

There is no need to save the picture to a file first and then load that file into the program. In your web browser, right-click the cover and choose "Copy image". Then right-click the movie in the All My Movies list and choose "Paste image as Cover" — that's all.

"Paste image as Screenshot" in the same menu adds the picture to the movie's screenshots instead, and the Screenshots tab of the movie card has a paste button too. It works with anything you can copy: a frame from a video player, a photo of the box taken with your phone, a picture from an image editor.

Print your DVD covers

Once the covers are in your collection, printing them takes a minute. Press F7 ("Tools - Print collection...") and pick the "DVD cover" template: the preview shows the actual pages, and the same window prints them, saves them to a PDF file, or to HTML. Filter the list first if you want only some of the movies.

Prefer a web page? "Tools - Export to... - Export to HTML..." has a "dvd cover" template too. And CTRL-ALT-C saves the cover of the current movie as a regular image file, if you want to open it in your favorite image editor.

Good luck ;)
