How to Get DVD Cover Art Into Windows Media Center
You can import cover art from your entire DVD collection into Windows Media Center to catalog your collection on your computer. Once the files are in place, you can create a searchable database, build a slide show of DVD covers or display multiple DVD covers on your wide-screen television when it's connected to your computer. A scanner will enable you to import DVD cover art quickly into the Windows Media Center, where you can arrange and edit images.
