Very nice guide here, but I'm just wondering about different spine sizes.  Pretty much all (Viva Elite) blu-ray cases are the same height and width size, but I've got a few 4-5-6-7 disc cases, and the spine on those are larger than the standard 1-2-3 disc size.  Is there a way to know what size case each specific scan is supposed to be used for?

If you are downloding from here the size will be specified on each cover unless of course it is a standard size.

However, you may require a cover to be specifically designed for you...in which case you could try the request forum.

The majority of artists produce standard 15mm covers.... :-)
