With quality improvements in digital imaging technology, transferring slides to video has become very popular! By transferring your slides to CD or DVD you can condense hundreds (or even thousands) of bulky individual slides along with dozens of carousels and boxes onto a space saving disk. This is also a great time to organize your slides and to get rid of any duplicates, out of focus slides, "vacation" slides that picture only a mountain, beach or tree and may not be as meaningful now. Another advantage of having your slides transferred to video is that you can make additional copies of your CD or DVD so that other family members may share the joy of these precious images. 

What transfer options are available?

There are two types of slide transfer:

1. High Resolution Scan - This transfer technique results in the creation of individual digital files for each slide that are then recorded onto a CD. As the name suggests, the resolution quality of scanned slides is much higher than those that are scanned for television. After the slides have been digitized, you can easily view the images by using your home computer, laptop, etc. This is also a great option if you want to print out any of the images, upload them to a website or even e-mail them to friends and family. 
2. Slide Montage- This method of slide transfer results in a DVD "movie" of the years gone by. The video will open with a broadcast quality title and then each of your slides will be displayed for approximately 6 seconds. As one slide fades out, the next slide is smoothly fading in, with music playing in the background. This method is generally more economical than the high resolution scanning process mentioned above and may easily be viewed on your television using a DVD player.
