Advantages of DVD

If properly cared for a DVD will last over 100 years and the quality will be as good on the 100th year as it is the first time you watch it. This means that generations to come will enjoy the same quality video as you do today.

Practical advantages include:

• Easier to watch on TV or PC – no need for projectors or albums
• No need to rewind
• Easier to store, mail and even to take with you to share with friends and family
• Chapters allow quick and easy scene selection
• DVDs have taken over the video market and it’s only a matter of time before VCR’s have gone the way of the phonograph
• Superior pause quality for still shot viewing
• More robust than video tapes – will not jam or unwind
• More Child resistant than video tapes
• Preserved for next generation media transfer

We use industry leading Kodak photographic scanning equipment.

We scan negatives and slides at a 4 base resolution (TIFFs are scanned at 16 base); this is equivalent to around 300 dpi. For more information on bases please look here – (Kodak Photo CD Disc: Resolution Information).

We can save your files as either JPG files (compressed) or TIFF files (uncompressed), the uncompressed TIFF files are much larger than JPG files as they contain more information about the image whereas the JPEG compressing results in some loss of quality – this depends on the original image and is usually minor. TIFF files are recommended over JPEG if you want to manipulate your files digitally or create high resolution prints.
