You should invest in a cheap trifold folder and an envelope/postage printer (or envelope tray for your existing, presumably laser, printer). That would cut down your operations time a lot if it gets popular.

Though, I think big, sooo probably not worth the cash.

I've always wondered what Netflix does. Is their DVD handling/mailing a manual process?

Pretty much, you can't trust users to send DVD's back in the mailing envelopes in any kind of reliable state (at all, one to an envelope, with the barcode facing out the window, with the correct disc in the correct slipcover, with the disc in any slipcover) so they have assembly lines of people to tear the envelopes open, check the right DVD is in the right slipcover, and so forth.

Thanks. Is that posted somewhere? Is shipping out to customers more automated?

I always wonder about stuff like that.
