Presentation Services - DVD Slideshows DVD Slideshow are recorded in a format known as Mini-DVD.   They provide interactive slideshows of your pictures.   DVD slideshows can be played on a DVD player,  connected to your television.  They can also be displayed on your  computer screen if you have a DVD reader in your computer. The media used for a Mini-DVD is an ordinary recordable Compact Disk.  Full DVD functionality is available on Mini-DVDs,  however the amount of data that can be stored is restricted to the data capacity of a CD. At this stage Snapshot-Archive does not produce full capacity DVD slideshows but will be investigating the feasibility of doing so in the near future.  Check back at this site regularly if you are interested in this possibility.  Features Summary Each "slideshow" consists of  one or more pictures. Each Mini-DVD can store multiple slideshows. Each Mini-DVD can hold approximately 500 pictures. Slideshow can be played with automatic slide advancement at a rate you decide at the time of purchase. Normal DVD control features such as forward, back, pause, play, zoom, etc can be used to manually control a slide show Usage instructions will be included with each DVD. Audio Capability It is possible to add an audio background to a DVD slideshow, however  due to copyright considerations we do not supported this for commercial recordings. General Recommendation We recommend the purchase of a "Basic Scanning" disk with all our non-computer slideshow formats.  A "Basic Scanning" disk is a re-useable archive of your digitized images.  This provides a  low cost basis for ordering other formats in the future, or for creating a replacement tape if your slideshow is lost or damaged. Mini DVD Considerations Some DVD players do not support the Mini DVD format which is relatively new.  If your DVD player does not support Mini-DVD we would recommend a VCD format Slideshow as an alternative.  Please refer to the "VCD Slideshow" page under "Services".
