I know that to add cover art to a DVD rip in WMC you simply add a file, "folder.jpg," to the folder with the rip in it. What I do NOT know, is what the resolution is of that art. I don't want my cover art to be distorted. Does anybody know the resolution - or at least the ratio of the dimensions - of that WMC DVD art?

For the record, I think it may be 240x340.

The cover AFAIK art can technically be of any size. But you definitely want an image with a good quality, I am unaware of a "standard" resolution for the art jpegs.

Yeah, the thing is, if it is the wrong size it will be resized to the WMC dimensions for cover art, distorting it in the process.

Try 350x500 & see how that works.

That's pretty close. It took a screenshot of the WMC interface and cut out a DVD tile using a photo editing program.

It looks like it's 455x640.

HOW does Microsoft provide NO documentation on this!? It's insane!
