So you have to make a DVD case and you have no production stills or artwork to use. You can use stills from video but they can only be so big on paper before they look like junk because they are too lo-res for print (especially if you only have standard-def video.) Well fractals have come to the rescue, according to this tutorial at DV.com Repurposing Video for Print. You need to register to see the article. It is basically a tutorial on using Genuine Fractals. There's a free demo version of Genuine Fractals which allows you to scale 20 images over a trial period of 30 days. It works as a plug-in for Photoshp or Photoshop Elements. It boasts that you can scale an image up to 800%. I just did some printing with something that I blew up 300% and it looked good.
