Selling your photos to dive guests

The US system is NTSC.

All good video software will let you select which format works best for you.

FWIW I burn DVDs in one format (I think PAL) and our US clients can view it on their DVD players no problem.

yes, Mike, you totally ruined the german guy named Werner with the PAL routine. All he did in Palau was badger poor Kevin about how " Mike Veitch does PAL, why can't you?"....every day, "the butter is too cold, and why won't you do PAL?"

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA


Werner in his yellow wetsuit!!!!! ha ha ha haha ha ha

Ask Dennis about him too! Funnnnnnnyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

Leesa, yes when you pop a photo into a video program it auto makes it 720 x 480 (NTSC) if you are doing NTSC or PAL if you are doing PAL, you choose it at the beginning before you start. I have a program called Canopus that will convert to PAL or NTSC from one or the other

But that is only for my Best Of disc. The shots of people go on a jpeg disc

For the discs i purchase printable discs and i have a cd printing capable printer that i print on the disc.

hmmmmm...I know that my parents were able to watch the wedding DVD that Drew made...I think when making DVD's it is now divided into zones..isn't it? I think 0 is the one that will play everywhere.

 

[alcina]

and sometimes you need the over-ride code for your DVD to play other zones

Again, using Premiere, I haven't had this problem...not sure why, don't want to know more than I have to LOL

 

[justleesa]

maybe related??

Thanks Mike...I see the program is available for a good price on ebay....and I want to get the lightscribe burner so I don't have to bother with ink

 

[Mike Veitch]

Zones don't matter when you copy onto a blank disc, only on commercially available ones.

Some DVD players can play both formats (NTSC and PAL) others cannot... Computers can always play both.

 

[Mike Veitch]

Yes, that light scribe would work well....

Ink costs a freakin fortune!

Oh..another thing...I have a program (nero) that also makes a slide show with music (came with my DVD burner)...besides being slow as snails (which I hope is not a problem any longer as I up the ram to 1.256 gig RAM) the res really went down...can you see a big difference in the quality of the pictures?

 

[alcina]

Thanks, Mike...I wondered about that but never really bothered to find out. As long as it works, I'm happy

 

[Mike Veitch]

I have never tried the NERO slide show program.

I think using a video program to create slide show is better as it protects your images better, you can usually extract the jpegs from a slide show program really easy.
