are you buying cdrs or dvdrs on spindles? once you start giving away burned media to your friends, how do you pack it? it is kinda nasty if they need to carry media in their hands without some sort of sleeve.


inspecting the following web sites
http://www.merrimack.edu/~thull/index.html
http://www.papercdcase.com/about.php
http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2005...amicdholder.php
(listed here "in order of appearance", i believe)
has left me wanting better explanation. (although last link (athensmusician.net) did the best job, but ultimately fails because few images just can't do it)
so i made a better explanation. clip that shows me making the paper case. there are wmv9 and rv9 versions to pick from (i always like to do a small codec test along the way smile.gif ).

http://bbsrv.imp.leidenuniv.nl/~i4004/0/in...r-cd-case&s=&r=
(yes, the video clips just got bigger icons; they deserve it. and realvideo deserves that 'g2' icon; i like it better. )
320x240, 20fps@cca.125kbit/s.
oh yeah..it's black/white as capped from the surveillance camera that somehow ended up here.

so there, no more mysteries about steps 4&5 which are so poorly represented on 'papercdcase.com' (especially screenshot of step5 is confusing; in that image paper reminds of some sort of modern portable cd-player. smile.gif it is infact top-view with flash bouncing off the paper making it look weird).
you can use
http://www.papercdcase.com/index.php
and
http://www.papercdcase.com/advanced.php
to make .pdf templates and cd contents listings,
or you can just write with your own hand, and not use printer at all.

there; now you can share the goodies without worries.

ps. notice the 'torture test' at the end of the clip.

you know how it is; you want something at that moment, and there is none. and there is paper everywhere.
