Which Is Right For You?
1. Decide
What Resolution You Need
2.
Choose Your File Format ... JPEG or TIFF
3. Choose
Your Storage Medium ... CD or Data DVD
First, whether you choose CD or DVD format,
we use only Taiyo Yuden CD-R or DVD-R discs. Taiyo Yuden
Recordable DVD and CD media is the best of the best. Used by
professionals for mastering around the world, Japanese-made Taiyo Yuden
is manufactured by the inventor of the CD-R disc. Taiyo Yuden has
the widest playback compatibility, the lowest error rates in recording,
and comes with a 100-year data integrity guarantee. We use
printable CD and DVD discs for the highest quality, professional
presentation of your finished photo to digital project.
Most people are familiar with CDs and most
computers in use today have the ability to read almost any CD.
Data DVDs are no different from CDs in that they serve the same purpose
- storage of digital information. The main difference between the
CD and the data DVD is the amount of information each holds. A
CD-R holds roughly 700mb of data while a data DVD-R holds roughly 4.7gb
of data, nearly 7 times the volume of the CD-R. The additional
storage capacity of the data DVD-R creates a more organized project.
Because the data DVD holds so many more image files, your project will
have fewer discs making it easier to locate specific photos without
having to search numerous discs.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION: You must have
a DVD Rom drive in your computer to read data DVD-R discs. Data
DVD-R discs do not play in DVD players and cannot be displayed on your
television. We offer DVD slideshows
that are appropriate for TV viewing. See our
Slideshow page for more information about
DVD slideshows.
Another important factor in deciding
between CD-R and data DVD-R media is cost. Our standard pricing
includes up to three discs per order. Additional discs, if needed
to store your photo to digital image files, are priced at $5.00 each.
Because data DVD-R discs have so much more storage capacity than the
CD-R discs, you may save money on your project by opting for the data
DVD-R. Refer to the chart below to help you decide which media is
best for you. You can also estimate the number of discs that will
be needed to fill your order and the associated cost you can expect.
