I have all the German Quersteelbooks.  For those that are not familiar, Quersteelbook have covers that are sideways.



When images are contributed sideways, the resulting image size is only ~1/2 that of regular images because invelos automatically limits the width of covers to no more than 500 pixels.  How do people feel about rotating these by 90 degrees for submission purposes.  If one wants, they can later rotate these back sideways and maintain higher resolution.

I have a few titles that have their covers that way and I think they should be uploaded that way.  I understand the dilema, but we should force people to rotate the image if they want it to look right.

Definitely want the increased resolution. Currently, I own only 1 such title, and it has been contributed with the cover rotated.

Some UK distributors seem to do this all the time with their back covers and these are regular DVDs in keep cases. Every one in my collection has been submitted rotated 90 degrees and I think this is the best way to do it, otherwise they become unreadable with the small resolution. I can tilt my head if I need to.

I'm also in favor for the increased resolution. (Because it is an easy to change locally with having the same resolution)

But what I'd like to see rather is a possibility/option in DVDP to choose if a cover is shown sideways or in "normal" rotation. (Of course with the same resolution)
