Where can I get 35mm slides put onto CD/DVD

[dave1372 83]

I am looking for some advice please. My mum has been diagnosed with terminal lung & liver cancer and when I was visiting my mum and dad last weekend I came across some old 35mm picture slides and I thought it might cheer her up a bit if I got them put onto a DVD. Are there any high street places that do this (such as Jessops) or should i go to either a independant photgrapher or is it better to find a company on the web? Is it likely to be expensive..... I hate getting ripped off .

 

Thanks

Dave

Just do a search for 'transfer 35 mm slides to dvd' on google.Or if you want to do it yourself there is a device out that you can put slides in and send to a pc(usb connection)probably the same as a negative viewer,once on the pc compile them in the order you want along with background music of your choice,windows movie maker will do this if you have it or go to pc world and explain what you are doing and they will find a software program that will do it,atb,

Yes sorry to hear about your mum by the way,Kay has mentioned Jessops they are usually good for buying this sort of equipment but if not they are probably the best bet for price to transfer your slides on to dvd,best of luck,

Thanks for the suggestions. I phoned Jessops and they do transfer slides to DVD, they charge £10 for the first 15 slides then 50p per slide after that.. Does that sound reasonable?

It depends on whether you have a lot of slides to put on,you can fit loads of slides on a dvd,it could be quite pricey,after your fifteen slides for ten,it would be another £5,25 slides is not a lot.What time scale do you have to complete the project,you could do it yourself with one of these from Ebay slide scanner,

for thbe cost of hbaving a dvd made you would be able to use the equipment many times to create other dvd's,

thinking of getting one myself ,have a load of slides to convert whbichb i've not seen for ages..
