Preparing Your Slides for Transfer

1. Prepare Your Slides
   • Each slide needs to be numbered. While numbering, should you omit or misnumber a slide, add a letter to the number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 3a, 4, etc.).
   • When numbering your slides, please underline 6 and 9 as they can be confused with each other. Slides received unnumbered will be numbered at an additional charge of $.03 per slide.
2. Select a Title for Your Transfer
   "The Smith Family Memories", "The Adventures of the Wells Family", "The Johnsons" are a few suggestions. If a title is not desired, please indicate NO TITLE on the order form. Otherwise, we will begin your production with the title of "Memories."
3. Don't Forget to Order Extra Copies
   • Store your master and watch the copy.
   • Copies make great gifts.
   • Share the cost with family and have copies for everyone.

If you have any questions regarding your slide transfer, please call us at 215-672-5126.

FAQs About Your Slide Transfer

• How many images can I fit on a 2-hour DVD?
  Approximately 1,000 images appearing on screen for 5-7 seconds each. There will also be a 1 second fade between each image.
• What will I get back?
  When your transfer is completed, all of your slides will be returned along with any boxes in which they were stored. Your transfer will be on a DVD-R. In addition to your slide show (with music background) on DVD, you will receive a CD (or DVD-R Data disc) with all of your slides saved as JPEG files!
• What kind of picture quality will I see on my DVD Slideshow?
  If your DVD Player and Television monitor are connected correctly you will get the best picture possible! The .jpg images that you receive will be much higher resolution than your television is capable of reproducing.
• Should I get my slides scanned at 3000 or 4000 dpi?
  2000 dpi should be all that you will need. It will produce an excellent 4"x6" and 5"x7" print and is much more than you need for producing the best possible picture for a DVD Slidshow.
  You might consider 3000 dpi if you want to crop the image or make 8"x10" prints.
  4000 dpi for large prints or intricate Photoshopping.
• Can I have extra titles through out my transfer?
  Yes. See additional services for details.
• Can I have extra copies made for my family?
  Yes. See additional services for details.
• Will my DVD play on my DVD player?
  DVD-R disks are used for transferring your images to DVD. In order to take advantage of this technology, your DVD player MUST be compatible with DVD-R. 99% of DVD players manufactured in the past two years will play your DVD transfer. Please check your DVD player manual for compatibility or contact the manufacturer.
• What is DVD-R?
  DVD-R is a disk onto which information (your video) can be written. Think of it as the same type of CD-R you may use to copy music files on your computer, however, the DVD-R can hold much more data.
