Adobe Photoshop/Making DVD cover

Question
Any tutorial that may help me resize my images, mostly of dvd covers, to the default size of a dvd cover. I actually mean to print out the covers for my DVDs by resizing the pictures to the perfect resolution so that the images dont blur or anything! I hope your getting what im trying to say.
PS: If u know the kind of paper on which the image of a dvd cover is printed, then kindly tell me as it would be of great help! Thanks

Answer
Hi Zahir,

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything out there related to DVDs, but there are some Burners that usually come with a wizard one doing this. Usually your CD/DVD burner installation CD will have a program for this. Also you may want to download a DVD case template to use as a guide on photoshop if you cannot figure out the specifications. This link should help: http://www.wizbit.net/downloads/cd_artwork_templates/wizbit_dvd_case_cover_inser...

And when obtaining the artwork for the DVD if its off the net, verify that it is of high resolution, because if its not then there is not much you can do about the blurriness. If you get a large size artwork then it will not be a problem.

Let me know if this helps.
