Why Does Case quality Count?

DVD cases not only help you store your precious memories and
information, but also protect your DVDs against scratches. All of our DVD cases
come with a locking hub, which grips the disc by its center hole. This design
prevents the recording surface from being scratched and protects your DVD from
damage. You may also add a paper inlay or DVD cover in the DVD case, which will
provide necessary information about the DVD, especially useful for storage.

and effective packaging solution for your single DVD. These single slim DVD
cases require less storage space and offer shipping efficiencies greater than

remove the DVD easily, while simultaneously protecting discs from scratches.

cases are available in single 7 mm and double 7mm; Standard slim cases are available
in single 9 mm and double 9 mm.

storage solutions, and brighter than the standard black DVD case, cases in color
likewise provide the ultimate in protection. Each disc fits on a center push
hub which releases with one touch.

which provides extra strength to the case. The standard size DVD case (14mm)

From Production Department – How to get music track names to show up in various music players

By kinwood | Published October 25, 2011

Getting music track names to show up in various music players If you have tried to create a Music CD, you may have noticed when you play it that the track names show up as “Track 1, Track 2, …” or even with names you’ve never heard of before or never intended to use.

Depending on the music player you are using, your CD will display differently. In order to get your tracks to display for everyone, you will have to use the following methods: CD-Text CD-Text allows you to use a simple CD-burning software such as Toast or Nero to specify the names of your tracks and album.

Any devices that are CD-Text compatible will display this information when the track is being played. CD-Text typically doesn’t work with Computer based Music CD players and other methods must be used based on the software you want your CD to work with. iTunes (Gracenotes)

Insert your CD into a computer and run the iTunes application. Click on your CD under the Devices section and the tracks should load in the player list. Select one track at a time and select File > Get Info from the menu. Change the information for the album, track, artist, etc, and click OK. Repeat this for each track. When you are finished, select Advanced > Submit CD Track Names and fill in the remaining details and click OK to submit your changes to the Gracenotes database. It may take a few days for information to be available to the world. Windows Media Player Insert your CD into your PC and run Windows Media Player. Select the CD from the media list. Right-click on the CD in the media list and select Find Album Info. When the information loads for the CD, click Edit. Make the changes to the CD as required and click Done. You may have to submit this information from up to 5 different computers before it shows up for everyone.

From our Production Department

By kinwood | Published October 3, 2011

Many of our customers have been asking how to add  auto-run to their  CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or USB project- our production team tells us how !

     Windows
Most new operating systems like Windows Vista and Windows 7 will automatically suggest to the user what things they can do with the CD, DVD, or USB that you have inserted into the system. There is a way to have an executable file automatically started on Windows 2000 and XP and to be the default selected suggestion on Windows Vista and 7.

First :  Open Windows NOTEPAD by clicking START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > NOTEPAD
Enter the following lines in the blank window:
[autorun]
open=myapp.exe
icon=myicon.ico
label=The Name for the Media shown in Explorer

Then :   Save the file on the root of the CD, DVD or USB and name the file AUTORUN.INF.

Last  burn/write the media as you would normally

     Macintosh
Macintosh cannot run a specific file; however, you can set up your CD so it will open the disc window when the CD is inserted and you can layout the view of the window anyway you like. This method requires special burning tools like Toast Titanium that will allow you to modify these options.
