I've considered jumping back into making some covers... I just don't think there is a need for full covers anymore though. I think most people have gone with digital by now since there are so many! I'm thinking of just creating posters and disc labels (the back cover portion was the most time consuming and 'unfun' part of it anyways).
I still have some naked cases from years past that could use some full size covers if you could possibly make some more of those where ever you left off back then ;D

I'm assuming thinpak size cases? I figured the sheer quantity made standard size cases tough at this point.

You have them labeled on your website as 'Standard Size' covers.
The Thinpaks are thinner than standard size covers
I'd like to see 178-187 get standard size covers along with 189 to 197 and then 199 to 203 and that would be enough for me cause I stopped making DVDs and started making mp4's after that ;D

I was thinking of doing the mp4 thing myself on a hard drive to organize everything better via a kodi box. I'll definitely be making poster covers as I go because I'm not a big fan of their normal posters rifftrax uses. I can definitely churn out a few standard covers in the process though. I'm working at home now, so I have a bit more time now! I haven't even looked at any new riffs in a long time!

I have thinpak covers for every riff (well.... except for the riff that was just released yesterday).  I can E-Mail you a ZIP file with them if you want.
I'm not particularly religious, and I don't really like Muppets, but I do love word play.

Thanks but I'm not gonna buy a bunch of Thinpak cases and redo every single cover starting from back in 2007...
That's a waste of time and money now

I wasn't suggesting you redo all of them going all the way back 10 years.  I meant that you could use my covers for the ones that you don't have any other cover for.  I used Piobman's too (they are the gold standard after all), but when I reached the point where there was no cover available, I made my own to fill the gap.

Oh I see, well I don't have any Thinpaks on hand and my custom built shelves already have the standard size cases (which thinpak covers won't fit properly)..
If Piobman is getting back into making covers again, I'll wait on him (been waiting the last few years so I can wait a little longer I suppose 8) )

Do you have a website like Piobman's to post your covers to see what they look like?

No specific website, but this public album on imagebb.com should work:

https://ibb.co/album/m1Htdv

The generated thumbnails cut off the sides.  Right click to see the full thing.  All of these are thinpak.

They're all pretty quick and dirty.  I use a basic template for the back with some banner image and the text from the page for each track.  Use the Rifftrax designed poster for the front.  They're all assembled in a program called "EZ CD and DVD Cover Creator".  I use the Rifftrax font "Laff Riot NF" for the spine text.  I use the decimal color code from some portion of the front to pick out the color for the spine and back.  If you wanna use them, I can E-Mail you a ZIP file.

Link doesn't work.. In fact, my Malwarebytes program is detecting something from it and blocking it :o
That's ok, I'll just wait for Piobman

I read that as meaning thinkpaks wouldn't fit on your custom shelves and couldn't think of why... :-[

Since thinpaks are the same size as standard DVD cases except for the thickness, you just need to add a little extra blank space along the spine to make the the image fit.   Or just use them and just leave a stripe on the front or back edge, you'll just have extra graphics showing around the title on the spine. 

Also, None of my virus/malware software warned me about that link, those covers look pretty good.

Oh they'll fit just fine. I've just filled my last shelf using the standard size cases and #203 is the last reauthor DVD I made before switching over to making mp4 files so I'm just trying to finish getting covers up to that number to complete my physical media library is all.

Added it as an exclusion in Malwarebytes and it still won't allow me to open it.. :-\
