Any solutions to the new Win XP problem?

I just tried the NVidia 43.45 2k/XP Drivers: VERDICT inside!

A jewel case is a jewel case.

If you store adult movies on your dvd media with it, then it is a bearded clam case.

I liked the bearded clam case joke . So is there a specific term for those large black cases that 99.99% of Movie DVDs ship in?
Thanks,
Christian

Hi Bursar,
Thanks for letting me know. The issue is I bought a lot of 300 Imax: Africa the Serengeti DVDs and they didn't come with their appropriate cases. Rather they all came in non-airtight plastic sleeves. I would like to communicate this effectively to potential buyers on Ebay. By the way if anybody wants one or more for gifts they're 6 dollars. It's narated by James Earl Jones which is kinda cool.
Thanks,
Christian Blackburn
