Transfer:
Slides to DVD is just one way to scan and preserve old slides, while newer options offer significant benefits.
DVD Uses
DVDs serve two major purposes:
- Store videos in a specific DVD format to stor on a DVD disc which plays on a DVD player
- Store data files in any format just like you would store them on a USB or hard drive.
Needless to say, customers rarely choose DVDs for anything anymore, but that has not always been the case.
Scanned Slides and DVDs
When DVDs were popular, customers often requested that scanned slides be stored on a DVD. TVs that read photos were able to display them on the TV automatically. Customers also copy scanned files to computer hard drives from DVDs.
Frequently, customers would also request a slideshow from the scanned slides, resulting in a video on a DVD with fade-in and fade-out between images, background music, and custom timings between pictures.
Modern Storage for Digitized Slides
Almost nobody uses DVDs for data storage anymore. The basic DVD holds only 4.7 gigabytes of data, which was huge a decade ago but is paltry today. DVDs are still the choice for some people’s video watching, but they account for only about 5% of my business. Netflix doesn’t offer them anymore either.
Original Example from 2014
Today, we have the privilege of converting slides to dvd as old as 100 years, and also containing slides of pictures that are 150 years old. (the slides are not 100 years old! they are slides of pictures 100 years old).
They contain pictures of Pawnee art, Pawnee chiefs, villages, and children. One of the most stunning pictures is of a document of an indian reservation in 1893 in Oklahoma, but it includes Grover Cleveland’s signature.
WOW!
