DVD BURNING

cruser · 1st of January 2005 (Sat)

Is there a program anyone would recommend for burning photos to DVD. Also is there a way to burn the photos to DVD some sort of numbering on the photo. What I would like to do for weddings is burn a DVD of all the photos and give to Bride and Groom and let them pick out the proofs they want printed. If not burning to DVD for this purpose is there a program I can burn onto CD that would accomplish the same thing as far as the numbering and not letting customer print pictures. Thank You.

Welcome Cruser from a fellow Lincolner. As for a burning I use Roxio CD and DVD creater. I do not know of any burning software that will do what you are wanting to accomplish[maybe someone else does]. Watermarking each photo is the only way I know of to protect youeself.

Water mark images & only give low resolution to clients. Most modern DVD players will also display JPEGs.

I use Veritas RecordNow to create my CDs and DVDs.

Cheers,

Along with this use a program like Breezebrowser to batch rename and number the photos any way you want. I use Nero Ultra Edition 6 for burning DVD/CDs.

The low resolution is a fair comment but does it show off the final product adequately? What about acrobat? Have to check at work (not got a copy at home) but I think you can disable printing, saving-as etc and could, therefore, show at full resolution.

Yes you can do that in acrobat.. thats a good idea. And I would recommend Nero 6 Ultra Edition also. Its great for burning just about anything to dvd or cd.

If you re-size files to be at following resolutions, you'll have excellent reslults:

For printing: 250 dpi - at whatever your print size is.
For e-mail/web/computer monitor: 500px on the longest size, @ 72 dpi.
For TV: 720 px x 480 px - this is the resolution DVD's use

People can print these as 4x6's bad quality at the best. also use JPEG compression of level 5 when saving files...this degrades quality more without affecting viewable image too much.

Basically, if you can see an image, you can pull it off and print it. There's always a way to overcome technological bariers.

PDF's are a reasonable solution, but then you can only view them on the computer. AND you can screen capture them, paste them and print them any way.

Your job is to make it inconvenient...but there will always be a way to get around it.
